I think 1000hp will be reserved for a halo 918 replacement.
It’s not going to compete with the Tesla Roadster. It’s going to be competing with cars that exist.
well. my view is that the only thing selling point of tesla roadster is that there are no EV roadster. so once this is release then, the Tesla one become irrelevant.
The Polestar O2 will be out before the Tesla Roadster and that won't even complete with the 718.
Concept do look nice but very hard to know what the final vehicle would look like. On the other hand this looks a lot like the Audi quattro conceptThe Polestar O2 will be out before the Tesla Roadster and that won't even complete with the 718.
I actually really like it.
So far all of the Polestars concepts look very close to production. Even the Precept
If were going to list everything that’s going to be out before that roadster, admin is going to have to buy more server space.
For sure, the 911 is Porsche's top ICE dog, but at only 640 HP (for the Turbo S) its relevance will quickly fade as soccer moms driving Model X's and yahoos driving Rivian pick-ups leave 911's in their dust. My guess is that that the 718 will have 1000 HP variants to fend off the competition and that the electric 911 will eventually come on the scene when lightweight, solid state batteries allow it to produce massive power without massive weight, and then regain its title as the top dog. (At least that is my hope as my midlife crisis can't wait forever!

I agree and I really hope you're right. Let see what Rimac technology spills into the 718. I assume a good amount.For sure, the 911 is Porsche's top ICE dog, but at only 640 HP (for the Turbo S) its relevance will quickly fade as soccer moms driving Model X's and yahoos driving Rivian pick-ups leave 911's in their dust.

Yes it's chintzy. The P2 is that cheap price point car. The Polestar 1 is an incredible car, high quality, but $150k.
my test drive of the Polestar sedan made me hate it - I'm not a customer.
the Turbo S will be hybridized. It’s already pdk only, awd with turbos, and 3700#. Hybrid will just make it better, and much faster. It ought to get within shooting distance of a Ferrari 296 GTB, so probably just shy of 800hpFor sure, the 911 is Porsche's top ICE dog, but at only 640 HP (for the Turbo S) its relevance will quickly fade as soccer moms driving Model X's and yahoos driving Rivian pick-ups leave 911's in their dust.

Hybrid-schmybrid, my midlife crisis will not involve any pit stops at last-century gas stations! I envision a future in which my eco-friendly 1000 HP e-718 (most likely black with acid green calipers) silently rockets away from a pretty red Ferrari 296 GTB as if it was standing still.
