    Porsche Panamera vs Taycan - Test 3 Shoot-Out! | Fifth Gear

    But maybe part of the reason you’re shredding tires is because you’re not as skilled a driver. A professional driver is vastly better at using available traction than you or I. That’s why the pros can corner at speeds that most of can’t without putting the car into a wall. Unless you’re...

    Porsche Panamera vs Taycan - Test 3 Shoot-Out! | Fifth Gear

    Sorry but Karun was pushing that Panamera harder than anyone on here ever has on the street, so saying that ‘my car never leaned like that’ is irrelevant. That car was being driven at the limit by a professional F1 driver. Also that woman, Vicki, while not F1, is a very experienced race car...

    "Volkswagen’s troubled software division is getting new leadership. Again." -Article

    Not sure what you mean. The stereo sounds way better in the GTI. The music separation is much better and clearer, the range is broader, and the bass is strong yet still clean. Could be partly due to a better sound environment in the cabin, but it’s significantly better. Yesterday, I played...

    "Volkswagen’s troubled software division is getting new leadership. Again." -Article

    Just bought a base GTI S as a run around town car to complement my 4S. The PCM works perfectly and Apple Car play is flawless. Most surprisingly, with a good source like Tidal, the base stereo in the GTI is noticeably better than the Bose in my Taycan.

    Spent some time w/ Lucid Air this morning… impressions

    And you think they’ll pour money into a company that’s bleeding hundreds of millions every quarter and can’t even sell the cars they’re producing? Lucid’s deliveries are way behind because demand is way below expectations. It’s a zombie stock. Anyone else notice in the video that the shortcut...

    Spent some time w/ Lucid Air this morning… impressions

    Lucid will be likely out of money soon, so if anyone wants a new one, ya might want to get that order in now.

    Taycan Turbo vs Audi E-Tron S Prestige

    Fractionally better?:CWL: Have you seen the Mission R? Its performance is on par with a Cup car. EV sports cars are about more than the straights. And those of you who think the Taycan is a sports car must have never driven one or maybe your Taycan is 1,500 lbs lighter than mine. EV sports...

    Taycan Turbo vs Audi E-Tron S Prestige

    Pffft. I’d wait for the E Tron S Line Prestige Premium Sportline TSI RS Rennline Edition. Audi’s naming stupidity is only eclipsed by BMW’s X3 M40i S LineXxi nonsense.

    Taycan Prices vs. Competition

    Have you driven a Pano? Much roomier and more luxury focused. Very different car than the Taycan.

    Please help! Let’s imagine the new Macan EV comes out in 2 versions...

    You honestly think that Porsche would offer a 400 mile, 3.8 second Macan for $60k? Not a chance. That spec would likely be close to $100k. Base Macan EV will likely have 250 miles, do 0-60 in 5 seconds, and start at $70k.

    Please help! Let’s imagine the new Macan EV comes out in 2 versions...

    Fast one. 400 miles is plenty. But that option at the price point that you indicated is a pipe dream. Add $20k to that. At least.

    Thoughts on 992.2 facelift.

    You can’t fix the ugly fat ass of the 992 with a light bar. And those sport exhausts that look like two baboons squeezing out turtle heads were just icing on the shit cake, though moving them closer together does look a little better. On the whole I think it’s better than the 992.1, but that...

    Taycan vs Telsa M3P thoughts?

    Because pretty much everything you said in your post was wrong, and I was just wondering if you actually had any track experience to back it up.

    Taycan vs Telsa M3P thoughts?

    How much track time do you have and in what cars?

    Ferrari Purosangue looks like a Taycan?

    Strangely, in videos it sounds awful. I expected that massive V-12 to sing, but it sounds farty. Way overpriced. I’d much prefer a GTC4 Lusso.

    Porsche NFT, anyone?

    Wtf? :CWL: OP, we gotta know, how much did you pay for this piece of digital art? Oh, and having done consulting for a number of big players in the crypto space, I’m 100 percent with daveo on this. Total fucking useless scam vehicles. The only people evangelizing crypto are scammers and...

    HAGERTY's Taycan vs 911 review - by Henry Catchpole

    Seems you struggle with reading comprehension. I said the Taycan gets scary at 90, not that it couldn’t go faster. It lacks the feel required to have any confidence. That said the GT4 will run much higher mid corner speed than the Taycan. And why would I troll about a car I own?:CWL:

    HAGERTY's Taycan vs 911 review - by Henry Catchpole

    Yeah, I would disagree with you there. My GT4 cornered much more capably that my Taycan. Speeds where the Taycan wants to under steer into the weeds, the GT4 just sucks down into the road. There is a sweeper near my house that I could easily take at 125 in my GT4, that gets scary at 90 in the...

    HAGERTY's Taycan vs 911 review - by Henry Catchpole

    Having owned two 911s, a Cayman S, two Spyders, and a GT4, while I loooove my Taycan, I don’t find it very similar to the Porsche sports cars other than in ergonomics and interior design style. It’s a Porsche, but not a sports car.

    Just another daydream: electric 911

    What if the technology is low emission and eventually achieves economies of scale that put on cost parity with other power sources? In that case it might make a lot of sense. Agree it’s a big if, but then so we’re electric cars 20 years ago.
