Yes! That’s what I wanna see!
Can’t wait to see what other car makers have in store.

Looks good but could do without the fake exhaust tip.

The whole Porsche community obsession with a manual transmission is hilarious. Anything built since 2005 is geared so fucking long, if you are hustling the car your gear changes consist of moving between 2nd and 3rd. 3rd will easily run you from 60kmh to 140kmh it's that long.

Right don't disagree but the long gearing means if you are hustling he car along, so using some revs, honestly it's 2nd to 3rd then........ that's it. I've no idea what 4th through 7th are for other than economy on the freeway.
I have the PDK so once the box and engine are warm i flip the switch to SPORT which tightens the whole car up a bit, then I flip the gear level to manual and use the flappy paddles to pick the gear i want. Again though, if I am giving it a bit of a flog, i can rev out second, change to 3rd and I am WELL beyond illegal speeds already. It's not like a Miata or whatever where you've go short gears and a narrow power band. Part of the "problem" is the engine revs so freely. Most of the fun and visceral experience is above 4500RPM and doing that in 3rd means 120kh. Why the gears are so fucking long is beyond me. |

I'm sure this will be the gold standard of driver's cars amongst EVs. But the thought of such a pure driver's car going EV depresses me. The traditional markers of a sports car: light weight, shifting one's gears, a wonderful noise, etc. which culminate in an engaging driving experience are all being thrown in the waste bin.
I'm gonna do my best to get an ICE Boxster S/GTS before this happens. The world is changing too fast.

True, but will it still be "good"?
About the gearing issues, the V12 doesn't even use 1st gear, it literally is unavailable unless you switch to manual and down shift into it. Even launch mode, it starts out in 2nd gear. It will down shift quickly with a throttle stab, but will cruise in the highest possible gear all the time. Damn fuel mileage rules |
