    First videos of upcoming Macan EV

    Youā€™re telling me that there are times in Sport or Sport Plus mode when you are in second gear, and you need to mash the pedal to the floor? That would mean that youā€™re doing 50-85 mph and you get in situations that require smashing the pedal to the floor and triggering a downshift. If so...

    First videos of upcoming Macan EV

    You massively overstate this issue. The only time there is even a minimal lag is if youā€™re crawling in normal mode and you literally just ham fist the accelerator to the floor. Itā€™s super easy to drive this car, rapidly, while barely even noticing the shifts. And the benefits of having a...

    First videos of upcoming Macan EV

    SUVs are boxes on wheels. Thereā€™s only so much you can do styling wise. And they will really need the existing Macan customer base to like this vehicle, so the less differentiation, the less risk of losing the choir. Everyone will know this is a Macan.

    First videos of upcoming Macan EV

    But itā€™s not the Taycan front end. Itā€™s simply the new front headlight design that will be on all the next Gen Porsche EVs, including the Taycan facelift. Itā€™s just a slightly more modern looking Macan.

    First videos of upcoming Macan EV

    Well, it is a derivative of a Macan, whereas the Taycan was a completely new model. Were you expecting theyā€™d design an entirely new vehicle but still call it a Macan?

    No translation required to understand how he feels about the power. šŸ˜† It looks a lot better in that video than it did in the still pictures.

    Macan EV spotted nearly undisguised

    I do wish the rear window was less sloped. It looks kinda like a Cayenne Coupe rear end, which isnā€™t attractive. Iā€™d prefer a more squared off suv type of rear with more room. Still I bet it looks good with the right wheels and sells well.

    Macan EV spotted nearly undisguised

    Front end looks like the Family Truckster. Wonder if the launch color is going to be metallic pea.

    Taycan driver wanted after back-to-back hits and run at 3 am in Los Angeles - Video

    Driver clearly drunk. Fuck him. I got crushed by a hit and run drunk driver 20 years ago. Fuck him.

    Garage Remodeling/Upgrading Feedback.

    Hereā€™s one from the outside. Iā€™m a big fan of carriage doors. GT4 replaced the Spyder, then was sold to pay for my brotherā€™s cancer treatment.

    Garage Remodeling/Upgrading Feedback.

    If you want to go down the rabbit hole, there is an amazing garage thread on Rennlist in the 991 GT3 subforum. Itā€™s called Show Me Your Garage or something like that. Endless ideas. I second earlier recommendation of Race Deck. Iā€™ve done RD Free Flow at three houses now and I love it...

    Porsche Mission X Electric Hypercar Concept Revealed!

    Love it. Canā€™t wait to watch the Luddite petrol headsā€™ heads explode when itā€™s released and sells out in a nanosecond.

    "Volkswagen’s troubled software division is getting new leadership. Again." -Article

    Not sure what you mean. The stereo sounds way better in the GTI. The music separation is much better and clearer, the range is broader, and the bass is strong yet still clean. Could be partly due to a better sound environment in the cabin, but itā€™s significantly better. Yesterday, I played...

    "Volkswagen’s troubled software division is getting new leadership. Again." -Article

    Just bought a base GTI S as a run around town car to complement my 4S. The PCM works perfectly and Apple Car play is flawless. Most surprisingly, with a good source like Tidal, the base stereo in the GTI is noticeably better than the Bose in my Taycan.

    Thoughts on 992.2 facelift.

    You canā€™t fix the ugly fat ass of the 992 with a light bar. And those sport exhausts that look like two baboons squeezing out turtle heads were just icing on the shit cake, though moving them closer together does look a little better. On the whole I think itā€™s better than the 992.1, but that...

    Porsche NFT, anyone?

    Wtf? :CWL: OP, we gotta know, how much did you pay for this piece of digital art? Oh, and having done consulting for a number of big players in the crypto space, Iā€™m 100 percent with daveo on this. Total fucking useless scam vehicles. The only people evangelizing crypto are scammers and...

    New Macan EV Spotted Charging at 172 kW

    I have to say, Iā€™m in love with the current Macan design and have to stop myself everyday from buying one as an ICE backup to complement my Taycan. When I bought the Taycan, I was on the fence with a Macan or Cayenne, but figured trying an EV was fine since I had a GT4 in the garage. Thatā€™s...

    New Macan EV Spotted Charging at 172 kW

    Love it, though I hope they didnā€™t lower the roofline, ala the Cayenne Coupe, which is too low for me.
