    God, that’s so pathetic on both parties tbh… Instead of focusing on the long term goals for the company and planet, they rather appeal to the short term goals for their brand and keep making combustion motors just so some vain lame can “sound cool.” Although all new vehicles imo should be hybrid by now, including diesel hybrids those would get crazy range from what I’ve heard.

      If they’d use synfuel it wouldn’t be that bad. It’s way more expensive that regular fuel but the rich fucks can pay that for the bragging rights. But every synfuel proposal gets swarmed by lobbyist trying to water it down to normal fuel with homeopathic amount of synfuel added

        It takes more energy to make synfuel than just burning regular gas, and it makes the same amount of C02.

        They should brand it sympfuel.

      You can sit on your high horse and make EV sportscars, but no one will buy one.

      Also, these are bullshit brands. Typical owners keep them 24 months or less and barely drive 2000km a year.

        Fine, then supercars die. Big whoop, look super cars are just eye candy that would need to evolve regardless of what people might want. If they don’t they die its that simple, if someone’s false sense of security needs to amplified by a combustion motor rather than idk not causing an actual fucking extinction of humanity then I rather let those old farts cry in a electric Bugatti that can smoke anything but will sounds all "lame. "

          Eh, they won’t die, they’ll just get taxed probably. Look at Italy for example, they charge for any power over 250hp + displacement. At the end of the day if we’re not talking about city pollution cars pale in comparison to the shipping industry and airlines.

              This was about sports cars right? Good luck taking your cayenne to a track day, I like dumb cars as much as the next person but it’s like trying to enjoy a RSQ8 on a british b-road

      Depends on the way they go, Hydrogen can be used in ICE and it’s still clean.

      It’s wildly inefficient, but what Lambo is efficient? If they can have the best of both worlds, good luck to them.

      If they mean lets keep with Fossil fuels, they can go fuck themselves.
