An Etron approaching from behind to overtake at ~30mph sounds the size of a Luton van. It’s mental, the road noise is so massive, unlike any other car, even a Range Rover size thing.
Would not want to be mowed down by one going 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. I hate to get too political but they’re a microcosm of all that’s wrong with the consumerist world reflected in the world’s most sophisticated consumer product. Vast inefficiency, style and posturing over and semblance of usefulness and actual purpose. An embarrassment to every engineer that worked on it. Never has the car industry stooped so low.
Audi Etron is 2.6 tonnes unladen.
Porsche Taycan is around 2.2 tonnes.
Light they’re not.
