Marques Brownlee Instagram – I love electric cars, but as I’ve said on the Auto Focus channel there are certain TYPES of vehicles that with today’s tech are BEST when made electric. Take a luxury sedan – what do you want from the best one? It better be super smooth, comfortable, quiet (and probably expensive). A new electric version? Literally the smoothest, quietest, most spacious version ever. (also probably expensive). Total win across the board. But sports cars are not one of those things. Yet. The power is there, duh, but there’s also a ton of weight that comes with it. And the best sports car across the board rivers best when it’s lighter, nimble and reliable. The gap is closing (and hybrids are getting VERY good) out the apex sports car is still not fully electric. Honestly I was nervous to get it after watching basically every review on the internet proclaiming this to be the “best car ever created” and “too good” but the professionals were on to something. I’m not ready to say it’s the best car ever made, but most of its traits are already top 5% of any car I’ve ever experienced: Handling, steering feel, balance, physical switches, interior build quality, speakers, acceleration (ok it’s 8/10ths as quick as PLAID) The tech is actually kinda bad compared to new EVs. The backup camera is weak, there’s no phone key, the app does almost nothing, no dashcam, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto are welcome but also honestly still not very good. I don’t even think that’s a hot take. I’ve compared smartphones to the Porsche 911’s incremental improvement model for years. When the category is young, we call it lazy. When the category is mature, we call it refinement. And I’m only 700 miles in, but damn this car is REFINED as hell. So this is the new daily 🤓 It’s no Carrera GT (♥️ @dougdemuro) but it’s MY Turbo S and i love this thing For the Porsche nerds 2024 992 Turbo S Jet black metallic + Stealth PPF PASM, PCCB, Sports Aero, Front axle lift, glass roof Chalk stitching Carbon mirror caps, door trim, GT steering wheel Wheels powder coated, brakes painted and glossy hood stripe by @autopolishingcenter Is there a 992.2 hybrid refresh coming?
