Porsche will follow Hyundai's lead and add a "virtual transmission" to its EVs in the name of driver engagement.

    As stupid as calling an EV “Turbo”?

    Porsche lost the plot a long time ago.

      I hope someday someone is dumb enough to create a V8 EV…

      My first PC had a Turbo button.
      Its purpose was to make the CPU slower.

      Porsche hasn’t lost the plot - they build this stuff intentionally because they know idiots will buy it. It pads their bottom line and lets them continue to make the higher end 911s.
