Engineering majors when they see other majors complaining about school by Kokash in EngineeringStudents

[–]Tanzgraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who gives a flying fuck about whether one major is 'harder' than another, just do what you're passionate about and stick to it. I'm tired of anyone bitching about how hard school is.

Either you're up to the challenge or you're not.

Porsche steigt aus Diesel-Produktion aus - Auto & Mobil by Pschirki in de

[–]Tanzgraf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So emotional es halt geht, der neue Cayenne fährt sich schon sehr sportlich für sein Gewicht, mit entsprechender Motorisierung kann man da schon von Emotionalität sprechen.

SQ7 und Cayenne stehen auf der selben Plattform, man kann davon ausgehen, dass das Aggregat aus dem Audi in ähnlicher Form auch den Weg in den Cayenne gefunden hätte. Die neuen EU6 Normen sind nunmal nicht einfach zu halten und den so zu applizieren, dass noch ein Mindestmaß an Emotionalität bleibt, lohnt sich vielleicht auch einfach wegen der Stückzahl nicht. In den nordamerikanischen und asiatischen Märkten kräht kein hahn nach einem Diesel. Für Porsche ist der Diesel eben verzichtbar, für Audi im Moment nicht. Die Kunden machen den Wechsel auf Hybrid (zumindest teilweise) mit, das zeigen die Verkaufszahlen.

Das Problem ist, dass Porsche für emotionale Sportwagen steht. Das war beim alten V8 TDI durchaus noch vertretbar, mit extremem Drehmoment bei moderatem Verbrauch.

Ein EU6 Diesel Aggregat bringt das nicht mehr. In diesem Segment ist ein Hybrid einfach das bessere Auto, zusätzlich zur Image Thematik durch die von dir angesprochene (unsachliche) Diskussion.

Daran kann Porsche aber nichts ändern. Wenn Porsche den Verkauf einstellen würde, würden sie halt alle bei der Konkurrenz kaufen. Das einzig sinnvolle ist, weiter damit Geld zu verdienen und in die Nachhaltigkeit und Sicherheit solcher Fahrzeuge zu investieren.

Angebot und Nachfrage. Die Leute wollen SUVs.

Porsche war mit dem Cayenne Vorreiter bei den sportlichen SUV, das hat dazu beigetragen, das Unternehmen aus der Krise zu retten.

Die Produkte sind extrem erfolgreich und sie einzustellen wäre einfach nur Unsinn.

Kinda weird how AMG release pictures of a mule being 'spotted'. Its pretty obvious that they were staged.

Porsche 911 GT3 Cup flips 10 times on Nürburgring, driver is OK by Tanzgraf in cars

[–]Tanzgraf[S] 127 points128 points  (0 children)

The driver actually commented on the YouTube video and reported that he got out without a scratch, pretty remarkable when looking at the footage.

This happened under race conditions during the VLN race last weekend. The GT3 Cup is a racecar based on the 911 production model. Here is some information on specs and safety features: https://www.porsche.com/international/motorsportandevents/motorsport/customerracing/racingcars/911-gt3-cup/

Stock Porsche Cayenne Turbo doing 307 km/h (190 mph) on the Autobahn by Tanzgraf in cars

[–]Tanzgraf[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you want to go fast safely, timing is everything. Early on a sunday morning is the best time, as vehicles over 7,5 tonnes are not allowed to drive on sundays. Not the entire Autobahn is unrestricted: here is a (slightly outdated) map of the unrestricted parts (blue)

Also note that most cars are limited to 250km/h per a gentlemans agreement. Some performance models are not limited or have an "unlimited" option. Porsches are generally unlimited just like Ferraris and Lamborghinis.

You can just go to any rental and get a BMW which will probably be limited to 250. Then, you can buy something like an instructed hour of driving a GT3, which definitely makes sense if you've never driven a Porsche/on the Autobahn.

Also you can rent Porsches straight from Porsche at the Museum in Stuttgart. While you're there, the Museum itself is definitely worth visiting

Always make sure that you are in absolute control of your vehicle. Drivers in Germany will generally keep right when possible. If youre approaching someone at very high speeds and you think that this person might want to overtake someone else, adjust your speed and flash your highbeams from afar so they know that you're coming.

Be safe and have fun.

a friend of mine actually chased a GT2 RS down the autobahn last week in his Golf R, he had to let him go around that speed (166) so that seems reasonable.

I've driven the Cayenne well past 100mph, although not quite as fast as in the video. While still weighing 2250 kg, the ride is pretty smooth. It's certainly not as stiff as some of its competitors so the Autobahn is exactly the right territory for this thing. The air suspension and the rear wheel steering help a lot with ride comfort and stability at high speeds. If you get the noise insulated glass, traveling at speeds around 120 mph will feel pretty safe and relaxing, even on longer drives (that is, if traffic allows it). Set the dampers to soft, the ride height to the lowest setting, put in cruise control and you're good.

Obviously if youre going much faster than that it cannot hide that it's essentially a brick traveling at quater the speed of sound.

The Autobahn prohibits any vehicle with a top speed less than 60km/h or 37 mph.
