NomNomLamborghini pulls plug on plans to launch all-electric supercar
Reason: the driver wants to be heard while driving around, or “for the emotional connection” as they put it nicely in the article. Seems like prosthetic lion’s roar to me.
God, that’s so pathetic on both parties tbh… Instead of focusing on the long term goals for the company and planet, they rather appeal to the short term goals for their brand and keep making combustion motors just so some vain lame can “sound cool.” Although all new vehicles imo should be hybrid by now, including diesel hybrids those would get crazy range from what I’ve heard.
You can sit on your high horse and make EV sportscars, but no one will buy one.
Also, these are bullshit brands. Typical owners keep them 24 months or less and barely drive 2000km a year.
entropicdriftPretty sure Porsche’s EV models have been quite popular
Pretty sure Porsche stopped making them because of poor sales.
They started with one electric model and currently have 3, 5 if you count the Taycan variants.
So… no? Also why go off on something so easy to look up?
real_squidsThis was about sports cars right? Good luck taking your cayenne to a track day, I like dumb cars as much as the next person but it’s like trying to enjoy a RSQ8 on a british b-road
Are you saying the Taycan isn’t a sports car?
Can you read? I’m talking about the rest of the EV range.
Taycan is mid because it’s way too old tech-wise and too big and heavy. If they actually bothered to make an EV Cayman I’d call that an actual sports car.
Taycan is just a hot executive sedan/wagon, I wouldn’t really call an E63 a sports car, but my idea is something smaller and lighter, S2K being a perfect example.

But why? It makes no sense to do so given the context of the conversation. I assumed you’d missed the Taycan somehow rather than that you were just arguing in bad faith.

Bruh. The sport variant does 0-60 in 3 seconds. 690 horsepower. Get real.
You were the one who brought up the rest of the EVs?
edit: taycan also weighs more than a w222 while making comparable power so what? i wouldn’t call an s class a sports car
a hummer ev does 0-60 in the same amount of time, it’s still not a sports car
A hummer EV is not a sedan. Get outta here with your no-true-scotsman nonsense. You realize the Taycan is the safety car for Formula E, right?
