Porsche
it's not a fair fight, the Porshe was always going to win it.

Thank god this isn't one of those 30 minute Russian videos that keep making it to the front page and just a simple 1 minute drag race video
While its a given the Taycan would win, I would still say the M8 had an impressive launch.

I'd still take the glorious sounding ICE of the M8 GC any day of the week.

There’s just something “non-connecting” about an electric car. It’s like replacing a Rolex with an Apple Watch. The 0-60 times get boring real quick without that mechanical connection to your car, only petrol heads will understand, I think. That said, the Taycan does look good, and I get that electric is the way of the future. I hate the future, lol

Agree for my driving needs (a bit more spirited than just drag) but I am impressed with the Taycan (sound withstanding) against the 992- the rollers were meaningful to me and the car looks brilliant. And you know that Im a Turbo S Fanboy owner of many/lover/aficionado.

Very tempting aren't they. I went into the local configurator to build a Taycan.....I was there for 3 hours....the options are mind blowing and by the time it got it to something approximating the 8 spec it was out there. The petrol version is close to $500K here.

Welcome to the Porsche nickle and dime world of options which makes BMW look like a simple participant although depending on the model even Comfort Access is an option vs standard for other luxury manufactures. I've spend more time than I can count on building 911s optioned up to my specs even though I can't fit in one. Mostly that was done to cement the fact that the base MSRP is $20 to $40K below a true spec. |
