I agree. But as long as it can be switched off, I have no problem with it. More options for more people.
Ok, I can see your point if this is an option that can be turned off at least tied to my driver profile, i.e. I do it once and never have to worry about switching it off again. Then again, options like this cost money to develop and maintain, which is then amortized amongst all cars, including mine. Therefore, I'd prefer if they just took the option price out of my car, let the people who do love it amortize it amongst their cars. Heck, make it an OTA-On-Demand option, see how many people buy it or want to pay monthly - ideally a separate download of separate software, so that even when not enabled, the ICE emulation software doesn't interfere with normal EV driving.

After the Luce I guess this isn’t so bad. I did a few edits and I kinda like it in a mid-00s jdm car kinda way.

It’s not bad, but it’s also not good. Especially for a $200k supercar.

Side view is normal sedan.

Front is like a 15 year old VW golf. Not bad looking, but doesn’t seem like a supercar.

The configurator is now online for the AMG. Starting price is mid way between a Taycan 4S and GTS here in Denmark - The MB with a lot more standard equipment.

It looks a lot better in black.

I also look better in a black t-shirt. But only because you can’t see my belly fat.

Black is cheating for a bad design.
I should rephrase to "it looks better en basically any color that is not the lime green one".

Tech is impressive. Looking forward to see it IRL.

It looks a bit weird but specs and tech is good i think. does it have something similar like PAR for handling?

A fully equipped 63 is about the same price as a Turbo GT and a fully optioned Turbo S

It does have an Active Ride like Taycan. Even some Chinese OEMs have them now.
As Active Ride becomes more ubiquitous, it will come down to how its turned.

Looks like its active ride feature is only roll bars.
Six inches longer than Taycan and a porky 5,600 lbs.
Thats the previous suspension. The new Active Suspension uses hydraulic actuators on each wheel, like the Porsche Active Ride.
Porsche uses the ZF system
