This is inevitable. Once they can figure out how to manage the weight, all the high performance cars will be EV. The taycan is only the beginning.

I'am pretty convinced that they will be able to convert this disruptive revolution into a success!
I'am just realising that it has become much easier for competitors to mimic it. Any day a new Chinese brand can emerge and claim to be the next pinnacle in vehicle dynamics. After all, the I6-RWD architecture with 50/50% has become much less a blueprint for success when you can just code new behaviour while having access to full torque vectoring and can put your batteries in the chassis of the car? I'am really curious to know what they will do to convert an i4M50 into a real M... it's only software... not? |

The digital watch revolutionized timekeeping when it was launched in the 70s. Much more accurate than mechanical watches, runs reliably and only needs battery changes every few years, and introduced tons of new features like lights etc (calculator anyone?).
Funny how old tech mechanical watches are just getting more and more expensive and special tho. |

These cars will be too heavy and not enjoyable. Vehicle dynamics are about more than how fast a car goes around a track. The feedback, chassis/steering feel and crisp handling is what matters in a sports car. I don't want a pig weighing 4-5000lbs, I was a light, nimble car that has ample power, but is communicative.

Just kidding. You will accept it as is or the gulag awaits The grille should be larger, and the weight should be greater, in my opinion. I don't see why not. Styling and safety? |

Yeah, it's some type of hybrid, but regardless this isn't a masked product, it's a test mule.

One main reason that mechanical watches are that much desired is hand craftsmanship, rarity and thst they are mainly high luxury goods. But the even bigger factor are governments and regulations. Nobody forced watch manufacturers to build digital watches, it was driven by new technology and possibilities to have more features in a watch, in the end people realized that they don't need all this on their wrists. But car manufacturers are forced by regulations and governments to go the EV way. They would be more than happy to go on with loud and high volume engines and just make a lot of money without having to invest in new facilities and manufacturing tools and processes. But the world has changed, so cars are changing…. |

Makes me realize how much I would want a proper M4 GC (non electric).
