Vega Turbocharged August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 the 2L version should be very under power for its size. go for the V6 instead. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Hypersonic August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 Seen 1 yesterday night. It is very small for a porsche. the 2L version should be very under power for its size. go for the V6 instead. I don't think so. 237hp with 1.8 ton translate to 7.5kg/hp. As comparison, Range Rover Evoque is 240hp with 1.7 ton translate to 7kg/hp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As comparison, Range Rover Evoque is 240hp with 1.7 ton translate to 7kg/hp. ok. maybe the word "underpower" is subjective. I find 240hp pulling a 1.3 ton is nothing impressive with today's product offering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum 5th Gear August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 the 2L version should be very under power for its size. go for the V6 instead. if 2.0L 237bhp/1.77 ton under power, then Lexus should close shop liao RX270, 2.7L 187bhp/1.84 ton still quite comfortable, 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it is not subjective. If it beyond 10kg/hp, it is underpower. What mass mkt SUV produce 240hp with 1.3 ton of weight? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mention 1.3 ton is a SUV. to me, 240hp pulling a 1.3 ton car is so-so in today's product offering. nothing to shout about and I do respect your view that this 2L Porsche is not underpower.

I am not sure if the 2L version comes with AWD, but if it does, it will add more weight to the already heavy body. so far, I only SUV I driven for long is the Airtek turbo which is only 1.6 ton and I find it already underpower. but that's me. to each his own.

In city road, it is very hard to fully utilise its AWD system except during downpour. To really test it in Sg, need to close off 99 bend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessary have to be off-roading. AWD helps during downpour or cup corner. Macan has AWD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vid Hypersonic August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 Went to see it today. Other than the Turbo, the other 2 not worth considering. The base model is a joke for Porsche. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
