  1. I think that actually looks better. I’m still not a huge fan of the massive kidney grilles BMW insists on putting on its cars, all subjective of course.
  2. I’m looking forward to seeing how the all-electric 718 (also touted to use the same 800v architecture) fairs to its petrol counterpart.
  3. Actually the performance of some EV’s has been known to degrade when launched multiple times. It’s likely negligible in everyday driving, but it could make a difference when measuring 10ths of a second.
  4. That’s one of the things I enjoy about a manual/tiptronic gearbox - having the car in the right gear at the right time. Or in the case of PDK, it already knows which gear you want to be in anyway!
  5. Gotcha. Ha I can imagine, the fact we’re even comparing small family SUV’s to sports/supercars is bonkers. There’s so many other elements to take into consideration such as weight, steering feel, gearing, track performance and of course the size of the smile the car puts on your face.
  6. Well spotted. Could be quicker to 60 with a full battery at least, shall look forward to seeing the real life performance stats. Not sure if I can post the link, but CarWow has an interesting video of an MG4 X vs the latest gen BMW M2 which is worth a watch.
  7. Thanks. The quoted 0-100km/h is certainly impressive, particularly for the price! The top end at 180kph not so much unfortunately. Any idea as to why they limit these cars so much as they’re obviously capable of going much faster. To preserve the battery perhaps … For reference purposes, here’s a comparison between the ‘slowest’ 992 gen (base) 911 and the quoted performance stats for the fastest ex30: 992 (base): power: 385ps power/weight: 253 ps/t 0-100: 4.2 (quoted) 0-100: 3.2 (actual, source: fastestlaps) top speed: 293kph EX30 Twin Motor: power: 434ps power/weight: 223ps/t 0-100: 3.6 (quoted) top speed: 180kph Ignoring the fact that Porsche massively under rate the performance statistics of their cars, I’d say that the slowest 911 is certainly faster, even potentially in a straight line. Can’t deny that the EX30 is a performance bargain though, interesting times!
