That was an interesting write up, thanks for the info.

There was a huge /r/cars post a few years ago that ripped on Matt for his canyon driving and he quit this sub after that.

Their multitone roofs are really awesome. I wish more manufacturers would offer interesting paint options like that.

I don’t know if you’re trolling or what, but I think perhaps you mistook my comment for a diss at Porsche. But that wasn’t my intention, I was just making an observation. Your criticism of Porsche for using another company’s technology is just bizarre.

But the big news is the optional-for-hybrid-models Porsche Active Ride, a fully active system with a motor pump unit at each corner of the car that pumps fluid in and out of the damper. This allows Porsche to put force into the suspension, and so the Active Ride dampers are charged with controlling pitch, dive, roll, and ride height in addition to their normal duties. When set to Normal mode, there’s a driver-selectable setting for Active Ride that reduces pitch and dive to almost nothing, and another mode which has the car lean into the corners, like a motorcycle.

Porsche’s “Active Ride” sounds just like Mercedes “Active Body Control”. Even the lean into corners function is already a feature of some Mercedes ABC cars that Mercedes calls “Active Curve Tilting”.

Insuring what?

How long does a full format take on an 18TB HDD?

You should be able to get a first gen early year Panamera v8 for that kind of money. Maintenance costs would concern me.
