718 Cayman EV also nearly fully uncovered + video

That is correct and in my opinion a poor tradeoff. How many Porsche buyers are truly driving their vehicles on the track?

While a valid point; that's not porsche's stance on things like this. All you need to do is look at the Taycan GT Weissach - a 4 door car, with no rear seats, with a massive spoiler that halves the range on any autobahn - by all apsects, a shit tradeoff in the name of track performance.

I will also add that those vents find use in south of europe outside of tracks also. Going to south italy or south of Spain at 45+ degrees Celsius will in fact push you car to it's max temperature limit even with those vents. Not everyone lives in a moderate climate in USA.

As for the size and shape of the vents, it's clearly to keep the design language from their newest 911s. By all accounts, they want to present this car as a electric 911 equivalent, likely to justify the price increase it will undoubtly have.

If anything, i would have prefered they completely get rid of the radiator plastic design in the middle of the front bumper. At least they got rid of 90% of it from the back bumper... even though it's still shit matte black plastic on a 100k+ car - no wonder the chinese are winning.

I drive my Taycan TO the track, then get in my racecar and drive ON the track. Anyone who is tracking a Taycan and who is pushing it even close to its limits will go through a set of tires in a day. It is a very silly car to track - way to heavy, too much power for pretty much any amateur driver, and can't really do more than a few sessions without recharging.

I had a lot of fun driving mine. Yes, there was a lot of recharging but I made it work. This opinion seems kind of gatekeeping. The other people at the track I was at were a lot more kind and curious. But maybe they saved this kind of opinion when not face-to-face, and only say it online?
