Not to Bottas.

Air suspension, AWD, turbo, hybrid, and all-wheel steering?  The Audi stinger is what you call the post-warranty repair bill.

“...if I hammered the throttle, there was a tiny bit of hesitation before the electric thrusters shot the Taycan down the street.”

You gotta watch Goonzquad and Vtuned. Those guys really go out of their way to make things “Almost OEM”. Not all their builds are to my taste, but they are methodical about doing things right. 

Um @Porsche, this word Turbo does not mean what you think it does

Journalism is traditionally focused on reporting the facts. Blogging is more of telling you what the writer thinks about them (and too often telling the reader what to think). Jalopnik is part of the new media that mashes both together. They make a serious effort to get the facts part correct, but they are variable…

1st Gear: Wall Street sucks. “Oh noes, you’re trying a big restructuring that will take a while to play out? You’ve got an EV deal with VW that might turn out great? Who cares! Let’s look at your quarterly numbers and see how you did over the last three months... Off with your head!”

I scrolled down and clicked crackpipe as soon as I saw the first garbage everywhere picture. This is not the type of person that says “my oil change is coming up in 500 miles. Better get it on the schedule!” This is a person who bought a car worth more than their house and has sheets for curtains in the bedroom. 

I’m really hoping they use their formidable knowledge of advanced mathematics and geometry to create a next gen all electric hypercar.

Calling an EV a “Turbo” is absurd. I really dislike this blurring of automotive terms practiced by BMW, Mercedes, and now Porsche. It’s very un-German of them. The German language probably has a very specific word for precisely this type of thing.

I was going to go with “the language of autoerotic asphyxiation”, but putting “Welsh” and “erotic” in the same sentence just didn’t work for me

Say after me: abber-IST-with

Pedestrian safety laws in Europe are paying off.

The designers apparently know nothing about kids today.

Well, after the Alfa’s getting penalized, Hamilton is now classified in 9th and Kubica 10th.

Except they don’t need battery replacements that often and if they do guess what? Toyota replaces them for free as they are under warranty to 100-150k miles depending on your state. 

I hate to tell Ford, but most folks who buy an Outback would be as likely to switch to Ford as your average MacBook buyer would be willing to consider a Chromebook. Never gonna happen.

Kisa Niro and Hyundai Kona electric models maybe?

There is a soft wear update coming for that.

Most of them look like fizzy piss too (though if your piss is that deep yellow you need more water!).
