I mean, if they can build Teslas in Germany, I'm sure Porsche can figure out a way to build cars (at least their SUVs and EVs to begin with) in the United States. Perhaps VW's Chattanooga plant could come into play here. If and when U.S. import tariffs come into play, Porsche may actually have to reconsider their strategy
I mean Mercedes has plants in Mexico and Alabama I think, so it’s definitely doable. The thing is that if they want to sell their cars in the eu they have to follow the eu regulations, regardless of where they manufacture. Doing that wouldn’t really accomplish anything for them. Even worse are the 2030 plans in the eu and California for evs, if they’re still planning on do that shit.
@@mattbr5246 I havent, but that should be a solvable issue though. Look, the main reason Porsche won’t move manufacturing is probably because their cars would probably lose a fair bit of prestige if not made in Germany. I’m sure they could set up elsewhere and still make good cars, but it’d be bad for their brand image, and wouldn’t really solve any of their problems. Not because they couldn’t keep up with qc.
Bugatti is no longer directly a part of the VW Group as of 2024. Porsche and Rimac agreed to setup a joint venture to form 'Bugatti-Rimac' back in 2021. Rimac holds a 55% stake in the venture and Porsche holds 45%. Read more here: www.porsche.com/usa/aboutporsche/pressreleases/pag/?id=649204&pool=international-de&lang=none
Agreed, one of the biggest aspects about the GT3 experience after all is that visceral soundtrack from the naturally-aspirated flat-six. Thankfully, it sounds just as good with Porsche's e-fuels as seen on the (992) 911 GT3 Cup
with the price of the 992.2 having increased by $45k, without any performance increase or technology improvement over the 992.1,, I would hate to see the price increase of a hybrid GT3. A hybrid GT3 would probably increase to GT3RS money .
If I was Porsche, I would move my factory and headquarters to the United States.

A US built gt3 to escape euro carbon restrictions … genius idea ;)
@@Bllksem have you seen how bad quality control is in those Mexican plants? Seems that the cars coming out of Mexico are subpar.

4:10, Who told him that.? Volkswagen is the parent company of Bugatti, Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini.!

A hybrid gt3 is just like buying an expensive track version 911 Carrera. Its definitely doomed asf, motorsport sound wouldnt be the same.

Agreed, and it would also increase complexity. It is still too early to comment on the reliability and cost of ownership of the T-Hybrid system.
Disband the EU
Newsflash, the 992 already sucks
It’s pretty boring and tame indeed
yet the S/T is the greatest driver car they ever made 😂
