Not a big Porsche guy but drat that thing is wild. Faster round the 'ring than a 720S. Surprising they finally let the Cayman run with the big brother, but I guess there's enough aftermarket shops building big power Cayman's they decided to get a cut of that obvious demand?

Not sure what 140K Euro to USD works out to, I mean google tells me that's $160K US but that's the same as the MSRP of a 911 GT3. Although I'm guessing no one can actually buy a new one for that price  But yea I'm a little surprised this thing exists too.https://www.motortrend.com/news/2022-porsche-taycan-gts-sport-turismo-first-look-review/  This is also a thing now, too, apparently. Good bye gently caress ugly plastic cladding and dropped down to be normal car height. This thing + that new Cayman = my ideal 2 car garage

Payload/tow ratings sound pretty wimpy. 1/3rd that of a basic rear end Cushman Titan and those are hauling around 480lbs of lead-acid batteries.

Was someone actually tracking their Cross Tourismo? I don't really care about the trim level, all the Taycans are like the same feature wise as far as I know just power more power the more you spend. I just like this new Sport Tourismo because it loses all the things that make the Cross Tourismo what it is I was shocked Porsche didn't offer color options for the plastic cladding on the CT, guess this is why...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sopKm4bExQ Ahhhh I can't get over how ugly the new M240i is, at least in photos/video. Weird mix of round bits and hard lines/angles, the big triangles on the grille, the weird pointy bits on the wing mirrors aping m-cars but in a much worse looking way etc. Really not loving it.

I actually like the overall shape of it, especially in that lovely purple. Over-styled in the details creating a bit of a mess on the front end but still one of the best looking current BMWs imo

Having seen it in person the front looks fine/good, the side profile is good, the back is very bad.

Get rid of the POWER DOME, grille triangles, that weird hard vertical edge behind the front wheel arches and the weird arch on the rear bumper and I think it would be a lot better. Best looking of the current BMW's isn't saying much, significantly worse than the old M240i visually IMO.

It's also 3871 pounds, heavier than a Mustang GT Convertible. I know BMWs have been getting chunkier but an 2-series coupe being almost 4000 pounds? Lmao

Lmao 1760kgs for a nominally smallish coupe? The gently caress? Crash tech cant be the reason either, there's bigger (even EV!) thats lighter that is fully crash teched. Cant be the AWD, cant be the combination of all of that.

The 230i weighs in at 3517 according to the internet so it's not the crash structures. So is it 250lb of bigger engine, cooling, bigger brakes blah blah? Probably adds up.

It’s also a luxury segment car, it’s going to be full of material to damp NVH on top of everything else. Heavy piggy or no I’d imagine it still drives much better than the lighter Mustang anyway.

The M4 weighs like 4400 lbs and drives like it weighs 3600. It'll be fine.

Its getting on par in weight with the larger sadly gone V8 VF II Commodore which would challenge the BMW as a drviers car.... NVH material isnt that heavy these days either.
