Indeed - many may wonder why anyone would buy a C2 911 - personally, I prefer the fun factor at lower speeds as I'm not keen on losing my licence and in the UK, a C2S or Turbo is much more likely to induce this. I don't need 180+ mph when I can only legally do 70. The speed reduction doesn't perceivably detract from the driving satisfaction\experience and I don't really care what folks think about me running a "lesser" car.
911 is a sportcar, totally different than EV limousine.
911 even in its entry engine is still a sportcar. the EV car business is completely different approach and toward a very different public. as I mentioned to Markus, I understand the appeal and the hype on the badge and request client to pay big money for this but the purpose of EV cars are fast acceleration car.
how can a Porsche, even entry model can be slower than basic American car?
This is the same argument one has heard for almost forty years and, guess what, Porsche has remained in business and has prospered. Porsche remains a safe and reliable brand for those looking for image and a certain level of performance. Much like SUV owners, few Porsche owners ever track their cars, even using more than 15% of its performance capabilities.
As one writes this response, one realizes that an opportunity was missed for not posting a YouTube vehicle on why, according to the creator of that video, why the Volkswagen ID.3 is the most influential automobile of the decade. The host makes a very persuasive argument that Volkswagen is producing the ideal product, with the ID.3, that meets the desired wishes of a large sector of the overall market. He points to Volkswagen's success with its Golf with over 35 million sold over eight generations and the Beetle with over 22 million sold. That's a core competency within the Volkswagen Group. The Porsche Taycan was heavily analyzed to fit particular market segments influenced by the changing environmental regulations. Otherwise, without a highly detailed analysis, there is no way the board would have approved the massive investment.
