Are they trying to kill off ICE cars? Who is they?

Taycan is nice but is it a supercar? It’s arguably competing with the Tesla Model S which isn’t.

As has been said already the end of ICE cars has been coming for the last 10 years or more. Perhaps it’s more likely that everyday utilitarian cars will end up electric leaving supercars to be that bit more special than they already are.

Perhaps i'm getting old, but supercars are dull (not helped by the fact that a lot of them seem to be owned by people who couldn't drive a greasy stick up a pigs ar*s but spend endless you-tube videos showing off with them....)

I feel the same about the culture around these cars and the endless numbers game, but in isolation they're totally beguiling. Maybe it's because I'm in the from North, but even seeing a standard Aventador being driven is a glee-inducing event.

Does it matter that a new "superhyperevomax" car gets launched every time they change their socks??
Most of these people who can afford to buy them are usually people you wouldn't want to know, who will go on trackdays to show off their new toy and chat with other knobheads who are the same as them.
Most PH members will appreciate the cars for what they are,as cars, not an indication of how big a knobhead you are
You'd say all this to their faces yeah?

With cars running with over 1000bhp is 800bhp enough for a hypercar?
How much does it weigh?

What exactly is it about the wealthy man taking his expensive car on a track to enjoy it that makes you think he's a knobhead?

Whilst I don't agree with Big Robbo's view that all super/hypercard drivers must be dicks, you do realise you're conforming to the steretoype he describes?
Show me your garage. No garage? My garage is bigger than yours!

Right, so every person who has an expensive car must be the same. Talk about tarring everyone with the same brush!
