1) Sports cars are not about "need"...they are the antithesis of utilitarian.
2) Porsche deliberately neuters the Boxster/Caymen line every year to maintain their model hierarchy.
3) Go drive a Carrera S and ask yourself if it would be as much fun with 100bhp less...I mean it doesn't need 400bhp.
I love these cars, but I'm not such a fanboy that I won't admit that the chassis of every model year would happily handle quite a bit more power than that which they were offered. I would not say the samething about the other models. |
Its all a measuring contest, these companies are all about getting the numbers, faster than whoever they compete with. Porsche keeps good feeling in their cars and all, worst case example being the GT-R for speed but no feeling. Back in the day car companies didnt care so much about numbers and thats why i think they all had alot more character.
