- Porsche Taycan RWD, 1969 911t
Oh god yeah of course there would be people who'd get the fake sounds and no doubt all of the list you mentioned there! People buy fake crap all the time and do weird shit tooI foresee a "Porsche Serenity" FOD option to remove it. On the other side of the spectrum, perhaps also "Porsche Green Vape Exhaust" option which will blow steam out of the back to simulate exhaust. I'm surprised they have not yet offered "EV Gear Shifting simulation" which holds back the torque/power until the "engine revs up", then periodically cuts the power to 0 to simulate shifting, then starts the buildup again. Maybe an additional delay for Turbo and Turbo S to simulate the turbos spinning up.
Sarcasm? Perhaps. But never underestimate what people are willing to pay for. There used to be an old guy who I think must have lived in my neighborhood somewhere, who bought a red convertible Ferrari and every weekend when it was sunny, would drive around the 20mph speed limit neighborhood in first gear, all decked out in Ferrari gear of course. Impossible to do with a silent Porsche.
I'm on a classic 911 forum and it's so interesting the mix of emotions the Taycan brings about. A lot of the old guys see it as Satan's own vehicle and can't understand why someone like me who is restoring a 1969 911t would want an electric Porsche. Progress lads! It's progress! I'll drive the 911 (when finished) until the government tells me I can't anymore because the fuels all gone!. The Taycan is evolution and you can't fight that! You can however do it with a bit if class and not have fake shit
