I'm too narrow into Circuto Monteblanco's turn two. Lars Kern, Porsche’s factory development-driver ace in the car leading me around the track, pulls away. No matter, though. Tug at the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT’s right-hand steering-wheel paddle and you unlock Attack Mode, which gives you 1,019 horsepower for 10 seconds. Get on throttle quickly, and the car scrambles out of the corner with authority, vaporizing my mistake.
SEVILLE, Spain – Left foot firmly on the brake, right foot stomped on the accelerator to the floor. Launch control confirmed in the gauges and I slip my left foot off the brake pedal. I'm pinned to the seat like my young nephew the first time I took him on the Disneyland tea cup centrifuge.

At the time, its closest all-electric rival was the Tesla Model S – the Taycan was also ridiculously quick, but represented a more complete package with sharp handling, trustworthy brakes and more repeatable performance. In the time since, the related Audi E-Tron GT and more luxurious alternatives such as the Mercedes EQS, EQE, and Lucid Air have mounted challenges, but none have touched the Taycan in terms of holistic performance. Doing so would likely mean adding an extra digit to the price tag by opting for niche EVs from Rimac or Pininfarina.
It's a big day in the business of motorsports, as confirmation has emerged that Liberty Media has purchased the commercial rights to MotoGP for a reported 4.2 billion euro—or approximately $4.5 billion.

Tesla hasn't even publicly announced the development of aModel 3 Plaid yet but you might already be able to buy a set of its wheels. Despite Tesla being surprisingly tight-lipped about the highest-performance version of its most popular car, someone in Sacramento, California just listed a set of 2024 Tesla Model 3 Plaid wheels on Craigslist. Could they be real?
MADRID — Ford is planning to produce a new sports-utility vehicle at its plant in Valencia, Spain, the company said on Thursday.
On the evidence of this outing, the Silence S04, a new electric quadricycle from a Spanish company that also makes electric motorbikes, does everything that the Citroën Ami promises to do but better.
