Porsche’s TOP SECRET 1000hp Electric Racecar, Driven

[@500features]

That sound made my dog howled I had to stop.

[@davida.737]

It's all wrong. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should do it.

[@Special_T06]

Sounds cool af to me. Makes me want a high performance EV asap.

[@davida.737]

I have about 51,000 miles on my 2019 GT3...I never get tired of the sounds it makes in the tunnels on The Blue Ridge Mountains, or the 6 manual gears. I could never love this car.

[@matviyk3066]

living my dream! i hope to own a 991.2 manual gt3 in a couple years and do just the same thing. EV will only satifsy me for when there is heavy traffic and it self-drives, that way when its self-driving I can be doing something to earn more money for maintaining and buying more ICE perfomance cars/bikes

[@curtjunky]

I would love to see comparison time and decibels between the eGT and club GT cars.

[@Ari--d]

him; this car sounds really good the car; eeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@macberry4048]

I wonder how much weight the car would lose if it was built from the ground up to be electric

[@beristain]

If torture had a sound. It looks cool tho.

[@aussie2uGA]

Now I know why that measurement was called "Hertz". It sure does.

[@paulelliott682]

Well, it WAS a Top Secret LOL

[@RojCowles]

Love the sound, not unlike a high pitch TIE fighter!

[@InternetDude]

Torque and efficiency is what matters in an EV, not hp or whining noise.

[@Mireaze]

Now that's awesome, can't wait to see production EV 911s finally hit the market

[@umah.]

I think you forgot to mention the weight. Weight is important in racing.

[@shoryukenpower]

omg is that really how it sounds? I can't be the only one that finds that unbearably irritating lol

[@Mireaze]

Sounds infinitely better than the car in your pfp

[@shoryukenpower]

@@Mireaze Umm.. good one?

[@XX-166]

They’ll fix that

[@XX-166]

@SV so then you’re saying ALL EVs sound exactly like the one in the video rainman??? Go back downstairs to your mommies basement with your ham sandwich and Cheetos

[@MykalJ5]

I’m with you! I’ll never enjoy the sound.

[@RichardFermion]

I’m in the minority here who like the concept and sound. I will say I think if it had a transmission with gears it would be “worse” from a technical standpoint but I think it would sound better and offer more driver engagement. I bet in the end they have a compelling platform however. Have to start somewhere so I’ll keep an open mind.

[@2.3_44XD--]

In these ev cars presentation there should be a similar combustion car next to it to see the advantages and disadv

[@umah.]

The only advantage EVs can provide for now is only the lack of air pollution. Hybrid race cars are still superiors.

[@dsmluck]

@@umah. Not true. EVs do well in time attack and autoX. Lower COG and polar moment of inertia do wonders for handling.

[@umah.]

@@dsmluck doing well doesn't mean it's better. In order to draw a conclusion which has more advantages than the other we should compare apples to apples. For example, Porsche 919 hybrid Evo is still way faster than the VW I.D. R in Nurburgring which proves it has better handling, acceleration, & power. Look at the performance of Formula E compared to Formula 1, it doesn't even come close. For now, EV is still behind the hybrid tech. But, I'm sure it will catch up.

[@4literv6]

@@umah. the new formula e gen 3 car is going to close that gap later this year, it has similar power to weight ratios and can go over 200mph. Also bad comparison because f1 have tons more total downforce and run on full slicks they change seversl times during a race. Not treaded tires that have to last a whole race like formula e does. Take away downforce and put an f1 on treaded tires and it would be a very interesting comparison. 🤔

[@umah.]

@@4literv6 yeah it's not fair comparison but hey I just compare the pinnacle of hybrid tech to the pinnacle of electric tech in motorsport. 😅

[@wesoakes]

Nails on a chalkboard.

[@4literv6]

Interesting at the faster pace he was only using about 4% per lap in energy. 🤔

[@Larkc-ty5sz]

is this the new boxster/cayman?

[@TheBigboySid]

Yessir

[@7ludi]

No but it will be electric as well but with less impressive tech

[@lawrencepll76]

Why can't the front motor do regenerative breaking, as we as powering the car? I mean since it is already there, it would make sense for it to also deliver power right?

[@phchecker17]

It does deliver power, but way less than the rear motor. You can see when he launches it :)

[@jasonhatton5146]

When pressing the accelerator pedal, all the weight is on the rear wheels. When pressing the brake pedal, all the weight is on the front. The car could also have undesirable handling characteristics if too much power is on the front when cornering.

[@ProgressingStepxStep]

He mentions at 6:15 that it does have regen braking on the front end

[@TheGardenMG]

the production model is going to be on the market faster, cheaper, and better than the Tesla Roadster 2.0

[@4literv6]

It won't be faster, will not be sooner, I'll give you likely cheaper since the supercar capable gen2 roadster starts at 200k. And even though a cayman can exceed 100k already. Porsche will likely keep this well below it's beloved 911&taycan pricing, which the taycan has been out selling the 911 in certain month's lately. 🤔

[@TheGardenMG]

@@4literv6 I don't mean the Cayman EV (or whatever it'll be called) will be faster than the Roadster 2.0, I mean it "will be on the market faster" = you can actually get it sooner, and I'm pretty confidence about that. Porsche already has a few prototype running around and they have the experience on manufacturing, given Tesla's past records on production schedule and priority it's just not possible for the Roadster to make delivery anytime soon.

[@4literv6]

@@TheGardenMG again disagree, Porsche just said 2025 earliest for an ev boxter&Cayman replacement. Did you even watch the video? They said these cars go out on tour starting next month going through spring 2024. At which point Porsche plans to introduce the production intent st version of them in 2024. Slated for 2025 production. The gen2 tesla roadster will be out before then. So should the apex ap0 and sleek piech gt 2dr ev supercars, plus the new delorean ev. 😎

[@TheGardenMG]

@@4literv6 Tesla also promised full self driving by the end of 2019 and we all know how that goes. Giving the Roadster is a very niche market and the priority of the company is currently Cybertruck and Semi I'm fully confidence that the Cayman EV will be produce in meaningful number first.

[@4literv6]

@@TheGardenMG that's all you got huh, fsd call outs? Typical salty Porsche fan. 😀 Either way time will tell in the end. I think it's just as safe to assume Porsche misses the 2025 production target as it is they meet it. With the ev macan coming supposedly in 2023. I'll be curious to see what that does to total ice vs ev sales mix for them by 2025. 🤔

[@Mckorzi]

That electro sound… sucks so bad🤷‍♂️

[@DerekVuong7799]

Now this is a good use of ev tech. Not building suv. If you buy a SUV go buy a plug in hybrid because you buy it for practicality and not to drag race.

[@craig_smith_racer]

How much heavier is it ?? Certainly an interesting piece of machinery, just not sure about them yet, the end of endurance racing perhaps 🤔 watch this space for racing GT cars and road going GT cars.

[@kungfudell07]

I know this is their plan for what the electric caymans could look like, but being honest, nobody is really gunning for those electric caymans 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@shinymike4301]

Sure, I love a race car that sounds like a Dentist's drill...NOT.

[@K6GSXRider]

If this is what future race cars will sound like, I'll pass.

[@Smile-uwokeup-2day]

Wow amazing this car is here so cool at 1 k BHP TOO

[@mrsoccergod5001]

My God that noise is annoying as hell

[@terraf0rm]

One thousand horsepower, one thousand horsepower. One Thousand Horsepower. Great... but how much does it weigh?

[@davidmccarthy6061]

Doesn't matter. It will need to be competitive with the other cars in its class, plus whatever the regulations state.

[@7ludi]

Around 1500kg

[@threatripper]

Holy mother Mary's.......Vaxina!!!

[@elvisahmed]

Oh that's unbearable sound it makes

[@shaneswiss]

Once Porsche and BMW start taking electric cars seriously, Tesla will be dead...

[@4literv6]

Not a chance, instead tesla may kill off one or both of them. They are out selling bmw this year and Porsches best selling ev isn't even competitive against the plaid model s or lucid air sedans. Do some simple research next time. 👍🏻

[@davidmccarthy6061]

Well, at least it sounds barely different than a F1 car. Can't wait for the electric GT races!

[@7ludi]

This sounds completely different to an F1 car

[@SY-tn2io]

New Cayman

[@steveelliott77]

This makes me sad.

[@davida.737]

Yes, it made me sad to see this too. Got my first 911S in 1972, it had a Bursche exhaust system, and I fell in love with that car and the sounds it made. The leather Porsche used back then, unless you've been inside it's difficult to describe, but nothing ever came close to that wondrous smell. This is not a Porsche, it may look like one...

[@antster7]

Repost

[@true.is.around]

after 2 min of driving it i will be deff, too high sound...nothing compare to petrol...still....

[@a64738]

It might be fast and all that but that horrible whining sound gave me a headache and I had to stop watching...

[@virgilpalmer2427]

EV are not inspiring at all... even if its a porsche...

[@kungfudell07]

Being real, I think once they bring out the electric boxter/caymans people are gonna not like it and Porsche may have to render back to the combustion engines

[@SibRevs]

I think Porsche should offer both combustion and electric models together.

[@kungfudell07]

@@SibRevs that’s also my hope, make both equally for people

[@Boss_302]

Horrible sound , I even had to stop looking ...
