[@Onyourbiketoo]

even under hard braking those size of discs and xpot calipers are not needed and brake ramping on motors is programed as to how quickly you release the speed control (throttle) and how much pressure you then apply to the brake pedal. I can program the ramp from 100% throttle to 4 wheels beyond limit of tyre adhesion by motors (locked up) and then motors released/modulated by 'ABS' .. We have even gone from full rotation to locked at the tap of 1 key on a laptop ... grin.. was fun :-)

So it seems that Porsche (and Audi for R8 EV replacement) had to shop to Rimac to get proper sport EV core. Actually, Porsche bought 10% of Rimac if the news are true. So kudos to Rimac. They are in Aston Martin also, Pininfarina literally took the their whole carbon monocoque and built on it their hypercar. There are probably other cars. All, from basically startup from the country that doesn't even have car industry. But is, after all the homeland of Nikola Tesla. Rimac factory is just one hour and half from the village he was born.

Bollocks.

[@s1ix]

I feel that this is the electric car that will be responsible for propelling premium sports car manufacturers into the next era, and equally for getting electric cars recognised as viable by the motoring public. Porsche should be commended for being brave enough to wear their electrons on their sleeve, and paving the way. It's out of budget of almost all drivers I'm sure, but there's a want factor. Anyone can build a fast electric car. Not everyone can make one so desirable as Porsche. Excellent.

[@miguellopez3392]

Quit patting their back, tesla built the model S wich is where porsha even got the idea of making this car, it even priced and speced similarly, except the tesla is actually revolutionary because it implements FSD hardware and was the first time people didn't scoff at electrics, it was built by a nearly bankrupt tesla in a desperate attempt to recover and survive the 2008 recession, porch safely makes alalectric car 7 years after the model S was blowing people way with its speed andpracticality, ,you praise the wrong people.

LibC True. And it really doesn’t matter. Those in the market for this car have the financial resources for it, and will get whatever options they want. The only real risk for Porsche will be not being able to make enough of these bad boys as fast as the demand grows, and killing the demand for their ICE range faster than they anticipate.

Low speed fake noise is something between Hyundai Ioniq and Chevy Volt. Not sure why people are so excited about it. Real noise of 2 motors during acceleration is identical to Model 3 Performance. Go try yourself if you don't believe me. I own 2 of those 3 cars. I am so happy Tesla doesn't make fake low speed noise, btw. Acceleration is similar to Model 3 Performance. I am confident that on track Taycan will be better. Double the price though. Hope the battery will have at least 250 real miles of normal driving. I am glad to see that most people do like Taycan, almost no haters, that is great! Finally nobody is complaining about lack of ICE fart.
