Porsche's 2027 Taycan fakes gear shifts and rev sounds in pricey EV theater

[Redaktion]

Porsche built its legacy around the sounds and feel of an air-cooled flat-six engine and couldn't resist releasing a 2027 electric Taycan with an E-Shift feature. Its electric supercar can pipe synthetic engine noises through the speakers and jolt with simulated gear changes on demand.

And German car manufacturers wonder why China is eating their lunch.

You seem to be quite a bit misinformed:
The sales slump is car sales in China in general, irrespective of car brand.

Chinese cars are selling like hot cakes everywhere, inside and out of China (except the US, obviously).

To give some examples, you'll see Chinese cars in Australia (BYD Seal U is selling great), Uruguay (last month BYD #1, Geely #2, Chevrolet #3, Suzuki #4, and Dongfeng #5, so 3 out of the 5 most sold brands were Chinese), Spain (almost 20% of cars sold to private individuals were Chinese brands)... I even saw a BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme parked in Monaco last week beside a Bugatti, a McLaren, and a few other nice cars.

Another true statement is that traditional brands are falling quite a bit in the largest car market in the world (China), hence indy0's comment.
