I read it. The article is only about 0-60. No one cares about 0-60. In actual 1/4 mile or 1/2 mile long races it loses to both the Plaid and the Lucid, with the Lucid Sapphire being the fastest. But all of them are still boring.
I think what essentially people are saying is from a performance perspective the sf90 isn't worth double the 296 for such a small difference, outside of this they are distingushed enough by styling/presence etc for sure though imo
More than that… “As you’d expect from a car developed on the Nürburgring, the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach is capable of far more than blistering speeds in a straight line. Its lap time on our figure-eight course is just 21.86 seconds at 1.03 g average—the fourth best in the history of our signature handling test. That puts this four-door electric car firmly in the company of high-performance mid-engine supercars; for example, the Weissach trailed a C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Z07 by a hundredth of a second while averaging more g, and it comes in behind the Ferrari 296 GTB and McLaren 765 LT only by a rounding error. It’s that close.” I agree that If we can only have one super car we wouldn’t prefer an electric car. Yet- This is incredibly fast and it handles like a Porsche around a track. It cannot be dismissed and it is likely where the future is going.
