^73e?

that's what jesmb.de says...

 

[WBarnes]

One of each please.

 

[Centurion]

Love it. It's a Shaw that the car is a bit of a unicorn. I have only seen it twice on the roads.

The GT 73e is going to be a demon with 800PS or more.

I wonder how sales are tracking globally.

I like the design, but I just don't think it has resonated with the market.

I hate those wheels on this car.

 

[Merc1]

Those are still not the original monoblocks that AMG used to sell, they're not retro enough.

I have no clue what the projected sales target for these but I wish I did. They’ve been mum on expected sales from the start. Given it’s a very niche model with even the GT 53 starting at $100k I don’t think you were ever going to see these fly off the lot.

But what is the weight going to be? 2500 kg?

Doesn't tell the full story but it's something.

Thank you. I did see this on this Instagram account. It surprised me to see the 8 series performing reasonably in the US.

The Mercedes AMG GT and Porsche Panamera are priced very similarly in Australia. I have no idea how either is performing locally but if I judge it by dealership stock sitting on the floor waiting for delivery, the Panamera sales are almost non existent locally. At least the AMG GT stock seems to move off the floor, even though I have only seen one on the street.

The BMW is priced about AUD$50K-$70K under both and it's sales have been very poor from what I can tell. For example I have seen vehicles that were built in June 2019 only being complied in late 2020 for sale. Australian buyers have just not accepted it at it's targeted price point (AUD$220K on road for an 840i and AUD$310K on road for an M850i).

Non of the above though is a true indication of Ausrtralian sales, but merely my observational analysis based on what I have seen on the dealer lots and out on the street over the last 24 months or so.

When it comes to unit sales in this lofty segment, it's been all about the Porsche Taycan here in Germany. Vehicle registration authorities have also noted an influx of applications for the Audi eTron GT, which I suspect are manufacturer pool/dealership examples. Granted, we are currently living in an extraordinary environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic hence influencing consumer behavior. Yet still, it appears that electric vehicles are currently dominating the 4 door super-sedoupe segment in my country.

What's the price differential between the two in Germany Jimmy? There's no technical reason to choose the Audi, so you would really have to love it's design over the Porsche to pick it.

First reviews indicate that the Audi seems to be a bit of a different animal in direct comparison to its' Porsche sibling. "Far more a refined yet nimble grand tourer than a 4 door electric 911" is a common conclusion. Design is an aspect that is not to be underestimated and Audi is considered a "design brand" here in Germany, commanding a larger following of customers from "creative" professional sectors such as architects, industrial designers and fashion industry executives. Design reviews appear to be unanimously highly favorable for the eTron GT. In terms of pricing, the slight advantage that Audi presents versus Porsche is, in the end, negligible.

In an imaginary world in which I would bathe in milk and honey daily, I'd take both (the Taycan in Cross Turismo form).

It's going to be a tank. It's going top be aweful.

Yeah, it's good to step out of your bubble every once in a while.

You should try it sometime.

Any back to back comparison's with the Taycan?

Only highly subjective clips with regard to exterior/interior design courtesy a few YouTube vloggers.

A unicorn where you live...

I see at least 2-3 daily in Dubai. The 43 variant is surprisingly popular.
