    Porsches v Ferraris

    My wife refuses to drive mine to her work (or at all most of the time), on the basis that it's "too flashy" and thinks it's "unnecessary". I don't even like to think what she'd say if it was a Fezza

    2024 Panamera interior revealed

    That just looks cool though? ?

    2024 Panamera interior revealed

    Aye ? but I’m taking a guess that ‘Porsche-tax’ is a lot less on a piece of plain plastic than it is on a leather-covered panel

    2024 Panamera interior revealed

    It looks pretty similar to the Taycan interior and I love the interior of mine. I have always found the Panamera cabin a bit overwrought when I've seen it in real life though. I am not a fan of this trend to have silly light bars all over the car, BMW's one is well OTT and just looks bling for...

    What is the best Plug-in Hybrid SUV?

    Good to hear the range update is better in the newer models and the Google software an improvement too ? The XC XX's are really good cars and built like Volvo's!

    What is the best Plug-in Hybrid SUV?

    So we have a late 2021 XC90 T8. Would I recommend it? A tough question but overall yes I would. Further info and reasons. Pro's: Interior - The interior is excellent. Thoughtful and stylish and (if not in the black leather my wife insists on choosing with every car), very attractive. The...

    TopGear's Best Cars of The Last 30 Years includes the Taycan

    Ha yes. The Puma really does have a great chassis, it really is quite excellent. They’re a blast. They’re not coming at this as just the best handling or driving cars, so I guess some of the entries do seem pretty weird. The fact they have never made another Porsche COTY before makes you...

    TopGear's Best Cars of The Last 30 Years includes the Taycan

    I've not driven the Barchetta, but the Ka sold in massive numbers and had a great chassis, as did the Puma. Good fun little cars. Like the Up GTI. Not every car has to cost a fortune to be a great car

    Taycan GTS vs M5 Competition

    probably not but definitely yes. Let’s face it. None of these cars are ‘worth’ the asking price. I had as much fun in an Up GTI, I had bought to fill in time until the Taycan turned up, as I’ve had in lots of fast expensive cars. That was worth the asking price. I think you’d get an M5 and it...

    Taycan GTS vs M5 Competition

    I guess this depends on what you want. Powerful V8 with all the noise. Or an assured and silent electric ‘drivers’ sports saloon. The M5 is a great car but the Taycan looks better. Handles differently. Do you want to step into the electric realm or do you want to place the (imo slightly...

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

    The test group was pretty interesting and a whole second over a pretty short hot-lap is a lot of time. It did look like Karun pushed the Panamera more than Vicky pushed the Taycan (plus she said so herself). The dig at charging an EV at the end was a bit silly and needless IMO. Like they...

    911 to Taycan?

    The main question you need to answer is: why do you want to switch? 4 properly usable seats and a decent boot? A calmer and more luxurious journey quality? The Taycan is Perfect. However, a 911 is a great Sports car and is visceral and noisy and maybe more fun, albeit this isn’t to say the...

    HAGERTY's Taycan vs 911 review - by Henry Catchpole

    Exactly this. I was on some semi-rural roundabouts today with some lads in their hot hatch on my arse trying to follow and without even trying, certainly not using acceleration I whipped around 2 roundabouts with absolute precision (within my limited ability), and they just blundered through...

    BMW XM. What are they thinking?

    It’s no X6M, but it is a looker ? Honestly screw BMW. I was actually gonna consider a new M4 the last gen then they released *that* grill. They really need to take a hard look at how much they’re ruining their brand

    If true… "The coming EV batteries will sweep away fossil fuel transport, with or without net zero"

    Yeah this is it. It’s a heavy car for sure, but overstated when you look at competitive stats. To be fair too: the new Prius is a nice looking car!

    If true… "The coming EV batteries will sweep away fossil fuel transport, with or without net zero"

    I hope we do manage to drop weight in batteries significantly. But as above a lot of the weight - in modern cars in general, not just EV’s…is in the strengthening. A lot of journo’s talk about the Taycan as if it’s an absolute beast, but how much heavier is it than the Panamera? 200kgs? Now this...

    Lotus Type 133 Saloon info

    I think it’s interesting and having driven a few, albeit much much lighter, Lotus’s I think it could be a car with excellent drive-ability. The best handling car I’ve driven properly was an S2 Exige. It seems like Lotus have got their interior quality up now too. With Geely’s expertise as well...

    Taycan Turbo vs Audi E-Tron S Prestige

    I agree. Had some on an S3 (that I didn’t choose but got a massive discount on, long story), and I ended up hating the look and of course: never ever using them 100% with this comment. I absolutely hate the SUV fastbacks. A BMW X6 being a particularly pet hate of mine ? I get the E-torn as a...
