    718 Cayman new pics

    Fairly certain this render will be close to the final look. You can see the vertical intake slats behind the fake front bumper, and IMO it looks pretty sick. Only thing that can compare is the Caterham Project V coming in about a year from now, similar price point, worse build quality but 800lbs...

    The vehicle youre looking for already exists, it's called the Taycan

    So, has there really been no credible news…

    We'll know definitively by March/April as that is when they do their major press releases (like when they announced the Taycan RWD model). If they're fully green lit, we'll get a full reveal without camo (all mules are not reflective of the final design). I suspect they'll either be postponing...

    So, has there really been no credible news…

    Latest Comments from Steiner on Cayman EV confirm 'chest' design hype with weight close to the driver and not a 'skateboard' pack layout, also hinted at the hardtop variant as well. https://electrek.co/2024/12/02/porsche-boxster-cayman-evs-real-sports-cars-racing-dna/

    So, has there really been no credible news…

    Yeah, IMO, they need to approach their EVs with a more enthusiast perspective, like the engineers of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. 1) Paddle shifters for regen 2) Activatable 'boost' button (same HP unlock that is used on launch control but also manual when motor conditions are met again, could be...

    So, has there really been no credible news…

    Here's some news, they'll be looking to retrofit an ICE drivetrain in the EV designed platform. May have a negative to no effect on the EV platform. https://www.carscoops.com/2024/10/porsche-changes-ev-plan-will-give-future-electric-models-ice-powertrains-too/ Likely not what you wanted to hear.

    What 718 EV drive train would you be most interest in?

    Realistically you're comparing a Macan that weighs over 1500lbs more. A 300 HP 3500 lb EV would do low 5s 0-60 easily. However, I could see the Taycan motor setup would likely just be reused at 400 HP. However, it'd be nice to see something bespoke. Realistically it will likely a derated...

    What 718 EV drive train would you be most interest in?

    Assuming all the following options are available, which drive train would you be most interested in? Note, the Macan EV is 78k (+20k from ICE version), so trying to make prices somewhat realistic given Porsche tax and that it will be likely a Fall 2025 release date. Personally I've always...

    If you’re bored sometime - go test drive a Model 3

    I test drove the M3P twice after being hell bent on it for months. It wasn't until then I sighed as I realized it wasn't for me, and I was going to have to look elsewhere. The Taycan had the opposite impression, thought it'd be good, but it felt great. Rest is history. Vehicles are very...

    Taycan 4S vs BMW i4 m50

    I was comparing DIN weight to DIN weight, you're comparing a different style of weighing. This shows the DIN weights: Taycan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_Taycan BMW...

    Taycan 4S vs BMW i4 m50

    Actually they're the same weight, the Taycan 4S with larger battery is 4894lbs as is the i4 M50 at 4883 (11 lbs isn't exactly significant). I was actually under the impression you want a longer wheelbase for canyons, hence why RAS acts to 'lengthen' the wheelbase during high speed turns...

    Taycan 4S vs BMW i4 m50

    These two trims appear to be very similar performance wise. I read the steering feel on the BMW isn't there, but it seems like an interesting alternative from a company that does pay respects to driving dynamics for ~50k less. What are you thoughts?
