Quite an unnecessary exaggeration. I'm not a fan of video game fake engagement, and fake shifts, having test drove the 5N (I was looking at the 6N potentially). I just want more control and connection over the systems and vehicle, not an emulation of a gasoline vehicle. 1) Give the driver the...

The standard brake pedal in both options would still max out the brake capacity in emergency... no thought from the driver is required. Admittedly the 2nd option is dangerous. Brake capacity is always tire/traction limited these days. Adding physical brakes + regen isn't going to enhance the...

I'd prefer real driver engagement back, like an optional 3rd pedal mode have it drop down when engaged in said mode. Have it look exactly like a clutch but only have it do some type of braking. 1a) When the mode isn't engaged act like a Tesla where the regen is built into the accelerator pedal...

Just by virtue of all the petrol heads, manual clutch enthusiasts, weight, sound, and like everything they complain about. They'll have absolutely no issues continuing to sell 911s. That's like asking, how will we sell chocolate ice cream when we introduce vanilla. They're fundamentally...

Yet here we are discussing scrapping the entire project. I didn't once say to take it back to the drawing board, poor take. I am saying they're doing a poor job differentiating themselves from the pack and making a compelling driver focused product. Let's be real, Hyundai is doing a better...

I thought their unique take to be first to put the battery weight behind the driver, as well as being seated closer to the ground versus on top of a battery pack, would ensure a more unique experience, and increase the connected feel to leagues above any existing EV. If you add in some manual...

While I'd prefer 66kwh, it isn't a large enough pack for the consumer base. As stated in previous press releases, they'll be doing around a 85kwh pack, which brings the weight to around 3430 lbs. Again in previous press releases they said they'd come in below 3500lbs. They want it to have...

Cheers' I just bought my first one last month just a club ST barebones. It is literally and figuratively a breathe of fresh air and a departure from the Taycan 4s and BMW i4 i've owned recently (close to 5k lbs each). I also just learned manual last month too. Its definitely different mindset...

I agree, but the real solution since every EV is fast... is to add engagement elsewhere. Perhaps the Miata ethos, you need to make a slow light weight EV so you can drive it at the limit on the street so you can properly play with the torque vectoring. Or have a crazy idea is having the paddle...

They showcased it in January Las Vegas NV, stated planning on coming to the US with 2k units a year in production. Its an interesting option that will likely be in the shop more than the road. It will also be a base price of ~125k with no cupholders, by that I mean is that it is a focused 'Toy'...

The JMEV SC01 seems interesting, but one big caveat. It isn't legal outside of China. Complete lack of safety standards or plans to sell outside of China. So I am not sure its worth mentioning.

I know we've all be eagerly awaiting any news and a full reveal for the Cayman EV for like 4 years now. Curious, how do you all feel now that Alpine A110 EV and Caterham Project V has been confirmed (as of 2026 Vegas CES)? Do you find them to be real competitors or more niche picks that aren't...

According to the very bottom of this article (below), the batteries have been in series production since April 2024, its unclear though if those were the 2nd generation or the ones used on the Hybrid 911...

Yeah keyword, in house. As per your 2nd article: "Now Porsche says Cellforce's R&D efforts will support the wider Volkswagen group and V4Smart, a battery company Porsche acquired this year. It supplies the high-performance cells for the 911 GTS hybrid sports car." So it's just reiterating what...

This is incorrect, they announced back in May they're expanding their partnership with the same battery supplier that they've been working for the 911 hybrid. V4 Drive is the battery platform. They have several battery products, one of which is suitable for a BEV, it's a slightly different...

Here's some (old) news you may have missed. Last link is newer August news, battery tech related. Porsche acquired majority share of the Varta AG platform V4Drive GmbH this past May, renaming it V4Smart. Varta AG is a smaller branch of the larger parent company Clarios. Varta has been around...

Fairly certain this render will be close to the final look. You can see the vertical intake slats behind the fake front bumper, and IMO it looks pretty sick. Only thing that can compare is the Caterham Project V coming in about a year from now, similar price point, worse build quality but 800lbs...

The vehicle youre looking for already exists, it's called the Taycan

We'll know definitively by March/April as that is when they do their major press releases (like when they announced the Taycan RWD model). If they're fully green lit, we'll get a full reveal without camo (all mules are not reflective of the final design). I suspect they'll either be postponing...

Latest Comments from Steiner on Cayman EV confirm 'chest' design hype with weight close to the driver and not a 'skateboard' pack layout, also hinted at the hardtop variant as well. https://electrek.co/2024/12/02/porsche-boxster-cayman-evs-real-sports-cars-racing-dna/
