Automotive Discussion / Re: The Supra 3 finally becomes a real sports car again
« on: August 12, 2022, 08:20:51 PM »The Tesla Model S Plaid is definitely not a sports car IMO . It's a 4-door family sedan that just happens to have world class performance. if a buyer just want a car with world class acceleration, and don't care if it's a sedan or automatic, it may be the car for him/her at fraction of the cost of world class sports cars from Bugatti, Ferrari, Lambo, etc.
From the photo below, the Model S Plaid sedan looks just like the standard Model S sedan...
Yes yes I get it about Tesla, thats what I slightly mentioned in my last post. They're EVs, automatics and people don't consider them sports cars, but they are quick. Their power plants are also different so people who truly share a passion for cars, grease and wrenching will look past them.
Its like going to the car meets/events and seeing a bunch of Teslas with their owners.... and thats it. No one cares.
But back on topic. Auto > Manual, unless you do hoonigan things.
