£600 a month is better than 2000 pm for joe public. Thats a good deal

My brother wants to get the base Taycan in a few years. The model X Performance hes got now was £85,000. First one had to be sent back due to shoddy quality. The new one still has misaligned panels in my opinion but it is what it is. I like that they've used Mercedes-Benz parts on the interior. As you need some quality. He definitely doesn't drive it with confidence. Its babied so no launches or fast driving Its a shame Tesla hire 4 eyes to QC their production cars. Definitely not cheap the Porsche. Even used ones will still be around that price. Just stay off social media regarding complaints and breakdowns. Id give some time for them to iron out the issues and update the car.

Cash, most people aren't buying cash but pcp, hp, lease or contract hire. I agree that theyll come down. My mum paid £37000 for her Kia on Pcp. Shes had some issues that Kia need to look at. Shocking after sales too. While its cleaner she knows my v6 gas guzzler can be driven over 4 years and still not cost £37,000 even if i paid cash at 20k. Okay i recognize the flaw here unless you were buying ev cash...break even is still years ahead vs the equivalent petrol and the gap will decrease. But tbh if youre willing to pay £72k why should it get cheaper My brother has a 2000 1 liter toyota iQ/aygo and pays £0 road tax.Petrol £10 per week..insurance is £300.cost £1500.... Who stands to gain since electric vehicles have existed since Nazi Germany with Porsche etc We are just waiting for the government to really start clawing back money. Once the VED hit is apparent. The incentives keep the motor trade alive and please the Greta gang aiming for zero emissions. Govt get to tick boxes in a Paris agreement and Euro document while cashing on ancient cars. Just not pure classics. We know who drives the majority of those.

question is do you really want to lose the petrol engine in exchange for a 300 hp Electric motor? There will be other things to change for handling purposes. Thats the thing

They already do by then it may be slightly cheaper to convert but not much. Say £12,000 in 2020. Maybe £8000 by 2035 when the competition is live. I cant see it ever being cheap

Its apparently really close but theres a chance it could be spring 2022 I think it should be uploaded to Nissans page soon.

Going to be a case of fix it yourself. Nismo probably wont be worth it.

Gold looks sharper but a bit BMW M4. I rather Urine Yellow

I thought they said supercharging is bad for batteries long term. Any advancement that makes it feasible without reducing the battery life is good news.

Needs a more aggressive diffuser.

can the engine safely handle anything over 500bhp stock?

Thats very cheap. Topaz in Wembley apparently charges £1500. Where did you go because I need to respray my grey part on front bumper then put it on

Black is nice too. @Whitevanman one looked really fresh depends on how you keep it really. Ive got a white one thats no where near perfect but still fresh overall. The red one is not bad id still say if it was private it would be cheaper by a grand or more. Production is coming to an end so new ones will be few. There should be more coming up over the next 5 months. I think many people will hold on now its end of life in terms of production unless hard times hit.

Overpriced not worth more than 20k..... Common issues clutch and Tramlining. Looks like it was changed, also modified with maps. I rather get a stock one thats never been tampered with.

Have you checked out the common issues with the car? if you can live with those then why not.

Check out this dummy

Modded Render

yep, that alone won't be cheap either.

All good when 2030 swings around itll be getting late as you say and modding will only get more expensive. So its now or never. Im sure hes got his own plan for the car. I dont know all the details. Hes done his own research on the car and on forums. I only opened the thread to ask if anyone else had done something similar. Like I said it will take a considerable amount of time and money. Hes going down the specialist route so it will be in stages with each stage requiring hardware and work to be done. The biggest stumbling blocks are the Turbo, ECU, possible gearbox purchases with labour as well as Engine builds if he chooses to add race cams, change internals etc. Its safer to do as people have blown their engines. If it was self built its easy to forget things. There are many specialists in the country that can build the car. He hasn't said who hes going with. Obviously Ive told him its not realistic and how much hes looking at to achieve 700-800hp let alone 1000hp. Its what he wants. So when its all set and done yes big money which could be better invested in big pharma, Tesla stocks over the 5 years but this is his thing. Yep I remember 'Herbie goes bananas' and the remake. You never took a shine to the modern Beetles then?

"attention whoring"... Not on social media tick. Not known in car circles tick, doesnt attend many meets tick....Hes only doing Youtube to document it and for anyone remotely interested No ones seeking any attention or approval. Just a discussion and asking if anyone done it or got close to doing it... If you wanted to put an LS3 in an MX5 id be happy to see it as a car guy and offer encouragement where possible. ZP having spoken to someone who works in Renault-Nissan there could still be u-turn and importation is still possible on the downlow Thats the difference.
