But the Porsche reminds me what we’ll lose when the world is electric. The wail of that six as it clears 4000 rpm is intoxicating. It doesn’t shove you the way that turbos or Teslas do, but the performance builds so perfectly and linearly. And the steering? Sublime.
Every time it sits for a few weeks I curse it as an albatross and swear I’ll sell it. That lasts no longer the the first turn of they key.
