People losing it over a car that dropped on the Internet 5 days ago. A car no one has seen in person, driven, or lived with. Be patient.
I do like that Porsche assimilated the Taycan into their existing design ethos instead of going completely out of the box as Ferrari has done.
Keep in mind, aback any positive growth they may have, it’s spurred [you might argue] by the CCP; an origination that steamrolls ‘innovation’ with government funds. Not mention China’s dire birthrate situation. So not sure how sustainable all this is in the long run.
Car sales amongst a homogeneous culture in a silo’d Asian market is preaching to the choir. If Chinese cars were selling like hot cakes outside of China that would be a different story.
No. The Chinese’s ability to replicate doesn’t = quality. Chinese car enthusiasts want authenticity when it comes to sports cars, surely not some faux 911. And you can program EVs to go fast, you can’t program them to handle well; that takes about 70 years of racing heritage.
It seems natural for them to have done this already, not just because of tariffs. K1 is the type of vehicle mostly Americans would buy so that’s the likely candidate. I’m betting on Tennessee.
There’s no way they’re axing a model they just introduced. They spent over a billion dollars developing it. What they may do is rename both cars 960, what was to be the original Taycan name.
