    Macan EV appears to have single speed transmission, unlike Taycan

    I'm confused. Does a two-stage single-speed transmission of the Macan do the same as a double-clutch two-speed transmission like the Taycan?

    We win again, new record by Turbo S lapping the Nurburgring

    Keep on dreaming. There's no place for a halo car at Tesla now that Chinese brands take over the EV market. Tesla is already lowering prices in China, that's a sign you can't ignore. Besides, the Cybertruck comes first, mules have been spotted already but the Roadster 2.0 is never been seen...

    We win again, new record by Turbo S lapping the Nurburgring

    Except the Model S Plaid is €1.900.000 cheaper than the Nevera. That's pretty good for a family sedan vs a thoroughbred hypercar.

    Anyone going back to a Tesla?

    That's ridiculous. With my '20 Turbo S I get at least 180 mls in winter with sub zero temps. Summer 220+. After replacing, it takes a few days to accept the new value. It'll be ok for another year(s). Thoughts: Moehahahahaha! 😂🤣😂🤣 Good one! 👍🏻

    911 to Taycan?

    A 911 is a thoroughbred sportscar. A Taycan is a sporty familycar. Also, it's electric vs petrol. Totally different cars, totally different experience imho. I really can't tell you as these things are very personal. I had a 992 C4S but I really prefer the Taycan FWIW.

    The Lotus Eletre R is pretty quick then

    I do like the interior, very very nice indeed. But a Lotus SUV? WTF? 🤭 I guess every single brand just wants to jump onto the EV wagon... I do understand it though. You have to have volume models to make money (or exclusive and expensive low production volume). And SUVs are popular. Maybe we'll...

    HAGERTY's Taycan vs 911 review - by Henry Catchpole

    It all depends what your definition is of "car feeling". A Panamera doesn't have such a low CoG so it will drive differently. Same for the Cayman/911 (as in mid/rear engined) or any other Porsche (ride height etc). Also, your "rotation point" is completely different cuz of the longer wheelbase...

    HAGERTY's Taycan vs 911 review - by Henry Catchpole

    The comparison should be Panamera vs Taycan, same weight, same kind of car. Nürburgring lap times: '23 Taycan Turbo S (20,8km): 7:33.35 '20 Panamera Turbo (20,8km): 7:29.81 And for comparison: 992 Turbo S: 7:17.30 and there's your answer it's just silly to compare a 911 to a Taycan. Don't even...

    HAGERTY's Taycan vs 911 review - by Henry Catchpole

    I had the 992 as a loaner while my Taycan was in the shop after a rear end collision after just 78km by someone texting...🤢 Nothing serious but waiting for parts took two months. So two months of 992 driving so I have a good comparison between the two. My Taycan holds up very well, no serious...

    HAGERTY's Taycan vs 911 review - by Henry Catchpole

    Absolutely not*. It's your opinion and that's fine. But the 911 is designed as a thoroughbred sportscar (with many variant, GTx/RS). It drives very well, even on long drives, it's very versatile but to me it doesn't sound right when you classify a 911 as a GT. *=This GT definition has many...

    HAGERTY's Taycan vs 911 review - by Henry Catchpole

    I think it's silly to compare a 911 to a Taycan. 1. A 911 is a thoroughbred sportscar, the Taycan isn't. 2. The Taycan is electric, a 911 isn't. 3. A Taycan is heavy, a 911 is much lighter. 4. A Taycan can carry 4-5 people with luggage, a 911 only 2 (or you just don't love your kids). 5. If you...

    I think the owner said: "Y"?

    From Audi RS e-tron GT to Taycan GTS ST

    Although I highly prefer the Taycan, the Audi has a great appearance too. It's big, brutal and impressive but it has that typical Audi style and that's all right, same like that the Taycan has that Porsche styling but looks way more organic and futuristic. I can imagining people like the Audi...

    Thinking of going back to ICE

    Challenge accepted: It can only carry two people. It doesn't have much luggage space. It's noisy, all of the time. You're always in the wrong gear when you want to accelerate. It stinks. It vibrates. The shifts are horrible. The powerband is limited and not linear. It's uncomfortable due to coil...

    Thinking of going back to ICE

    I really don't understand why people compare a Taycan with a 911. Those cars are totally different. Of course a 911 drives better on a twisty road, of course it slows down faster, of course it is more responsive. It's lighter. It's a thoroughbred sportscar, SURPRISE! If you want to compare EV vs...

    911 Dakar a.k.a. Taycan CT tribute edition😁

    Is that a factory limited edition or just a PCA limited edition?

    911 Dakar a.k.a. Taycan CT tribute edition😁

    Actually it was a 953, not a 959. With the original one there was a nice story. When looking under the dash there was a little switch but they didn't know where it was for... After talking to the original drivers they found out it was for switching off the brake lights. That way the competition...
