| Rooting for them but doesn’t look very Porsche to me. Lightly related, here’s the design patent for the original Targa design: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/75/54/b6/382d342... |

| Porsche. “Aluminum key” Tesla roadster. “Drives upside down, flies, does flips, 0-60 in 0.81s” |
| |
| ▲ | origini 44 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Porsche. "You can buy me as promised in a timeframe i told you" Tesla roadster. "Hold my key, i might actually get delivered in 2-5 years after waiting for 10" | | | |
| ▲ | kleiba2 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | "Noticeably different from the very first moment: the aluminium key offers a glimpse of what is to come. Even before the engine starts, a connection to the car is formed, transforming anticipation into something tangible." I would fire the marketing team. | | |
| ▲ | nielsbot 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Is this a Jony Ive collab? Sure seems there are a lot of similarities to the Ferrari Luce. | |
| ▲ | vrganj 31 minutes ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Advertising the fact that the key is from some other metal is... weird. Who gives a fuck? Never have i used a key and thought "wow, I wish the metal was different, that would noticeably change my experience". | |
| ▲ | beklein an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | I see a lot of Claudeisms/AI slop in the copy text on that page. Really disappointed from that page, agreed, fire the marketing team. | | |
| |
| ▲ | eps 31 minutes ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Different target audience. I'd rather have an aluminum key. | |
| ▲ | Markoff 37 minutes ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | one of them is real product, the other just some promo skeleton made for promo, which they dont actually properly show | |
| ▲ | vrganj 30 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | The Aluminium key is a bit silly. But I'd much rather have a premium car from a manufacturer with premium car standards. Have you seen the panel gaps on Teslas? They're like fancy Ladas! |

| First reply on Twitter about this announcement: https://x.com/obi_onecoinobi/status/2110919713337364590 Poor timing. |

| Landing page design is really bad. For a bit, I was not sure if I had landed on a generic WordPress blog. |

| ▲ | nullpoint420 33 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Wow, you're not kidding. This really feels like a hobby site from the early 2010s | | |
| ▲ | f6v 31 minutes ago | parent [-] | | It's a web site for a car. It has pictures of the said car. What's up with it, I don't get it. |

| "Focus on what matters." :/ I guess they replaced their copywriter with AI. |

| I really liked the interior of this model. Glad it looks analog and not the stupid 100% displays you can get in a car today. |
| |
| ▲ | omega3 21 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Huh, everything is digital apart from the needle arm of the rev counter? | | |
| ▲ | meerita 11 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I retract what I said. I watched a close shot of the dashboard, it's purely digital but the needle arm as you mention. What a pity. |

| How are "constantly rearranging" instruments an essential? Some designers don't get it.
Too much ego. Those are the one's who would have failed to finish a cathedral over several generations within the same style (re-read chapter 4 of "The Mythical Man-Month" to understand). It's a distraction. And a pure driver's car avoids any distraction. |
| |
| ▲ | BoingBoomTschak an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | Well, they call it a pure "driver's car" but it's really too fussy to be that. A Miata or Elise/Exige would be what I'd put that label on. | |
| ▲ | gambiting 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I see this in software too - designers have to constantly justify their own employment by redesigning things that work perfectly well and literally no one has ever complained about. But if you're on the payroll to design, you have to design. |

| "Height-adjustable gear lever", lol. Zero info about the engine on the page - or is it electric? The page doesn't really say. For a sports car, that sort of info is kinda important? |
| |
| ▲ | vostrocity 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | In a video, a Porsche official said they haven't decided on the engine yet. | |
| ▲ | nielsbot 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The marketing page says it's mid-engined. Maybe it's one of these newer hybrids not designed for range for but performance boost especially a low RPMs where the gas engine last immediate torque. | |
| ▲ | svelle 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | The car has four exhausts so I'd assume it's not electric. | | |
| ▲ | superze 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Germany doubling down on combustion after doubling down several times. Don't worry guys all is good. Those guys have lost any touch to reality. Nothing will snap them back. | | |
| ▲ | nielsbot 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I think a few things.. (but I am not a policy expert) 1. Governments pulling back on EV transition leading to car companies pulling back from EVs as well. For example, some companies that had previously said "we've designed out last gas engine" now are designing new ones. 2. Turns out gas + EV can be even better than pure electric for a sports car (so I gather) 3. People who drives cars like this DGAF about emissions | |
| ▲ | BoingBoomTschak an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Electric car, decent autonomy and light weight: choose two; at least for now. |

| So is this an EV or an ICE car? The rev counter makes me think ICE? |

| >what does the sports car of tomorrow really need? 1000HP of EV power, definitely not a V8 |
| |
| ▲ | ezst 17 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Why not both? What makes EVs meaningful is when you get to the point of pushing green electricity to the grid and have the bulk of the utilitarian traffic consume it. Electrifying supercars for the sake of it has no measurable impact in the grand scheme of things. | |
| ▲ | Xenoamorphous 34 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | Most car enthusiasts are against EV sport cars. |
