BMW i4M50 here I come? I'm sick of driving cars with superfluous doors.

might as well wait then until June when it becomes the i4 M60, with its shared output with the i5 M60 and I believe different battery.

I've been following this platform as well as my RS etron GT lease is up in Sept 2026 and was hoping this would be my next ride, so it looks like I might just get another e tron GT until these Caymen EV's fizzle in demand.

I’m on holiday and stopped at the Porsche Charging Lounge at Leonberg, near Stuttgart. Just as we left a Boxster EV rolled in. Only got a blurry photo but nice to see that they are at least working on it still ?

356-like retro, no screens, just buttons and knobs. Analog dials as well. Emphasize range over acceleration, but keep excellent handling. Convertible option. Use an original boxster business plan to go after affordability and reliability to bring in new enthusiasts.

Having driven Northvolt into dust, Porsche should’ve just bought them and trundled on with battery development. Now they’re back to square one.

And I want my allocation.

Elaborate, please ?
V4Smart is not square one although there are few details about their linkage to the 718.

Porsche zero-dollar change-ordered Northvolt into the ground.

Your response is too cryptic to be useful.

This article is quite detailed, and paints a very clear picture. Over-investment in over-hyped venture, an ex-Tesla exec who tried to ape the same pretend strategy, and a reckoning. It remains puzzling that these large groups bet new models on something that unproven without a contingency plan.

BMW audits, pulls the plug, and the rest of the house of cards crumbles.

This is the 911 turbo s hybrid / electric turbo charger 911 turbo s. There were already leaks about it being tested at nurburing - including sound videos. 700hp + if leaks are to be believed

...well that's disappointing.

I expected Porsche to reveal something interesting, given Audi just did.
