ISUK:

The regulations have very little to do with it I suspect. It is more to do with the fact that they are recognising our roads are ever more congested so performance is much less of a priority and the average driving skill level of their new customers is fairly low. Many buyers moving up the ladder have only known engines with a lot of torque relative to their overall output so are not used to having to use high revs to gain maximum performance. They want to barely brush the accelerator pedal to feel instant speed. You can see that trend with comments from new buyers of models like the 718. That is why people on boards like this are sadly now a minority for brands like Porsche and Ferrari.

Those infamous 3%, right? Smiley Smiley
