Default New car release for 75th Anniversary? What a complete bust....

I just got home from work after spending all day looking forward to coming home and checking out RL to see a super new 992 GT or super dream car released. What do we get? A souped up golf cart with a release date in 2027 b/c there is no technology to produce a 1500 kg battery powered car with these specs now. Anyone else feeling a little shafted here?? I guess I will enjoy my GT3 a little more. Rant over

I feel like Charleton Heston at that NRA meeting when he said "I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands" with respect to my high performance gas powered cars. the politics behind the push for anything E really has persuaded me to get the highest performance ICE vehicles I now have.

The Mission X is a more exciting reveal than a parts bin 911 (even though I'll probably still want one).

It looks like every other electric hypercar concept, they are all blending together. Not much new other than it being a Porsche.

Aw come on Rich. You are responding to this, right? I do agree that my GT3 (and even my 991) is 100% of this fool's needs and they get driven plenty. But you've got to dream right? Not sure I'd want an RS for the street. Porsche has been tantalizing us with this 'reveal' for months. Every time we turn around this EV stuff is getting shoved down our throats. Just saying....

Exclamation

I hope Porsche makes the Podium, no interest for Modena especially after clinching Nordschleife.
