The interior looks like one of those douche bag gamer PC cases. Dude... I know it cost $700, but I need it for the thermal efficiency to cool my sweet over clocked video card. Also: neon.

Clearly, cars like this totally lack any taste. I only wonder, though, what do the people who buy these actually wear? Surely not a suit from any reputable fashionhouse? I couldn't see anything nearly vulgar enough last time I walked past an Armani store?

Also, there must actually be people buying these, or there wouldn't be anyone making them. I fail to see why anyone would buy this.

12 Piston Callipers? Really? Are those incrementally better than 10 piston callipers? Is each one the size of a pencil eraser?

There's something about that gaping maw that I kind of like. It's sort of Continental GT. The rest of the car can go to hell.

In reply to Porsche Planning Electric-Powered Sports Car
The SCCA and other short-distance racing series should be actively promoting electric autosports just as the drag racers are doing. Short course racing could be safer (no race fuel issues). It would usher in an era of dramatically better traction control technology as racers learn how to harness instant torque off the line and in tight corners. Furthermore, it would give drivers a clear challenge: instead of constantly tweaking the rules to keep innovative engine manufacturers in line, it would be far easier to issue every team the same amount of energy for the race: identical battery packs. How they recharge and drive is up to them. That would make for some seriously fun formula racing.

@my favorite car is a motorcycle: This is a great idea. Historically this is how all manner of automotive advancements came about, put them to the test on a race track.

I'd rather not see identical battery packs though, let teams develop their own methods for storing the energy. Give them a maximum weight so they don't just load it up with extra batteries. Then start stretching the length of races to force the development curve.

Regardless of how it's implemented I think all electric racing series could greatly benefit the rate of advancement of electric car technology.

Q: Why did Porsche/Audi/VW start making electric vehicles?

A: So they could charge more.

In reply to REPORT: Porsche Panamera, Cayenne Could Be Axed By VW
This will not happen...ever. The Cayenne is a cash cow and Panamera is soon to be one. Despite Dr. Piech's irrational and now personal motivation to kill the models, he is still a servant to VW's shareholders. Any move now will have to be in the best interests of the shareholders, otherwise it's "auf wiederssein Herr Piech."

@Miscellanea can finally edit his name... brakes...: Also, if building cayennes and panameras allow Porsche to continue building cars like the 911, Carrera GT, Cayman, etc. then I say go ahead. Not to mention, I'm fairly excited for the Panamera. Sure, it's ugly as sin, but I'm quite confident that is as capable or more than others in it's class. It serves a purpose that other Porsche's cannot.

@Miscellanea can finally edit his name... brakes are fixed too.: The Big 3 get reamed for Chevy/Buick/Pontiac, Ford/Mercury/Lincoln, or Dodge/Chrysler versions of the same car. Will Tuareg/Q7/Cayenne work when the U.S. combos didn't?

@rkwadd: I understand what you're saying and usually agree with that sentiment. However, Porsche, Audi, and VW buyers couldn't be much further apart. My wife, for example, relates to VW. She would drive a Toureg, but never even consider a Cayenne. Audi fills the luxury market without the ostentatious image that comes with Porsche. If anything, the Toureg should be stripped of some options and sold at a lower cost. VW should not be in the upscale market they are approaching. That is when they start to cannabalize sales from the Audi and Porsche.

@Miscellanea can finally edit his name... brakes are fixed too.: At first glance I agree with you BUT then I looked up prices. Tuareg starts at $40K. Cayenne starts at $45K. Q7 starts at $47. As soon as you get to trim levels and engine/option packages you realize the 3-brand line up for that platform is a total clusterfuck.

I still think you are probably right that the Cayenne will not die, though.

@rkwadd: Yes, the only one priced incorrectly is the VW. It should be starting at $35k. If you want something more luxurious, then you go to the Porsche or Audi. Both are different demographics. But then again, the VW demographic is a peculiar demographic too. Much like Prius owners, they are willing to spend more money for less in order to make a statement about themselves and their individuality. They simply cannot be lumped with the Ostentatious Porsche owners or Stuffy Audi owners. Individual expression has a price I guess.
