All right for some

I HAVE HAD A PERFORMANCE CAR ADDICTION ALL OF MY life, but now I’m on the other side of 50, I thought maybe it was time to look at something electric.

Off I went to the local Porsche dealer for a test drive in a Taycan, really wanting to like it. But, alas, it just didn’t do anything for me. I can’t put my finger on why, but it just did not excite me.

Last week, my M3 Competition was due a service so I had a BMW ‘1-something’ for the day. It was while I was driving it that I realised it was giving me the same feeling as the Taycan: lack of enjoyment. Maybe there is a future for electric cars with the masses, then – just not for petrolheads!

I’m just hoping the Emira ticks the excitement box, even though it may be a while until mine arrives.
