  • Опубликовано: 18 май 2024
  • We drive and the discuss the technical changes that make the new Porsche Taycan Turbo GT one of the fastest vehicles they ever made. Updates to the drive motors, batteries and suspension showcase future technology to make its way into many other cars. With a higher price tag, and higher depreciation it makes this a far more risky buy over a traditional 911, 718, or even cars like the Corvette Z06 or Eray. Others to consider are Lucid Sapphire, Tesla Model S Plaid.

      in events like this, the lead driver in a lead/follow usually drives at about 60-80% of pace. sometimes less. sometimes a bit more. depends on the follow vehicle and how they are driving. but nowhere near race pace.

In addition, Rivian has a much more advanced rear drive motor(s), and the sapphire does without the complication of porsches single motor/transmission/e-lsd rear end by just using two superpowerful motors with ratio high enough to still hit higher top speed than the Taycan GT.
      Also, also. Lucid has not even made a super aggressive track pack type of car yet. I'd be interested to see their answer to the Turbo GT.

      Wait a second, you're complaining your virtual experience of two cars you've never driven? The future is weird man, just go 'dress up' as in jeans and polo and go test drive a 4S or Lucid Air, or Regular Cayman S or something, if you're over 28 and not driving the super top tier models people won't bat an eye. It'd be a blast even when being nanny'd by a car sales rep. It's actually quite a fun 'hobby' to test drive vehicles you have no intention of driving once a year or so. Not like you have to provide bank statements.

      Are people who buy traditional sports cars concerned about worse gas mileage, more expensive oil, pads, rotors, and tires?
      Most consumables go way down in EVs (fuel, brake pads, rotors, oil changes), at the end of the day its a wash when worse case you deal with 25% quicker wear due to weight. These vehicles are closer to a BMW M6/M7 Sedan versus a Corvette Z06 in their buying demographic / levels of practicality they offer.
      Hell, even the BMW M2 weighs over 3800 lbs now.
