    You can sit on your high horse and make EV sportscars, but no one will buy one.

    Also, these are bullshit brands. Typical owners keep them 24 months or less and barely drive 2000km a year.

      Fine, then supercars die. Big whoop, look super cars are just eye candy that would need to evolve regardless of what people might want. If they don’t they die its that simple, if someone’s false sense of security needs to amplified by a combustion motor rather than idk not causing an actual fucking extinction of humanity then I rather let those old farts cry in a electric Bugatti that can smoke anything but will sounds all "lame. "

        Eh, they won’t die, they’ll just get taxed probably. Look at Italy for example, they charge for any power over 250hp + displacement. At the end of the day if we’re not talking about city pollution cars pale in comparison to the shipping industry and airlines.

          In the future they would need to be banned, things aren’t looking great when it comes to the climate and taxes won’t make it better. As a car guy I’ll weep when that time comes, but we can’t sacrifice the world for a form of transportation. And by then I’ll assume all city vehicles would be either very efficient hybrids or fully EVs.

            This was about sports cars right? Good luck taking your cayenne to a track day, I like dumb cars as much as the next person but it’s like trying to enjoy a RSQ8 on a british b-road

                Can you read? I’m talking about the rest of the EV range.

                Taycan is mid because it’s way too old tech-wise and too big and heavy. If they actually bothered to make an EV Cayman I’d call that an actual sports car.

                Taycan is just a hot executive sedan/wagon, I wouldn’t really call an E63 a sports car, but my idea is something smaller and lighter, S2K being a perfect example.

                  Can you read? I’m talking about the rest of the EV range.

                  But why? It makes no sense to do so given the context of the conversation. I assumed you’d missed the Taycan somehow rather than that you were just arguing in bad faith.

                  Bruh. The sport variant does 0-60 in 3 seconds. 690 horsepower. Get real.

                    You were the one who brought up the rest of the EVs?

                    edit: taycan also weighs more than a w222 while making comparable power so what? i wouldn’t call an s class a sports car

                    a hummer ev does 0-60 in the same amount of time, it’s still not a sports car
