Another Reason Why I Love Porsche

oops swag

Ok, maybe I didn't quite get all of that, but why? From what I gather, it uses electric only for 25 miles on either, front or awd. Then if you want to go fast, it's engine only. That seems fine for a Camry, but for a monster super car that gets driven only a few times a year, why?

It's my understanding that in "full power" mode, that the electric motors and engine work in conjunction.

LFA is better imo.

They work together. That's how it gets that massive torque that's up there with a M5 diesel.

Imo, real exotics shouldn't run on batteries and an electric motor. Ill still take an LFA.

So this is where it's headed...

Um, I can appreciate the work... But, fuck that thing!! Give me a shitty 2.7 in a late 70's porsche all day!!

[brainspo0n]

give me a 356 A body all day

with a 4 speed

and collapsed springs

and a mouse nest in the airbox

more complicated = more things to go wrong or break
funny how E30s and other "simple" cars are so popular with engineers
following the principle of KISS in engineering.. keep it simple stupid:)

I could not agree more.

Though it is a fantastic engineering exercise, and cool to learn about.

But when it comes down to it, if I had the money to afford such a car, I would opt for something else.

i'd let blunt make me his asstoy to own that car.
