PORSCHE 911 DAKAR, GENESIS X CONVERTIBLE, NSX IS DONE + MORE! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

The weekly update covers several significant automotive news items, with the Porsche 911 Dakar taking center stage. The reviewer details its GTS-based platform, 473 horsepower output, and impressive acceleration despite off-road modifications. However, concerns are raised about its limited 7.5 inches of ground clearance and a reduced top speed of 150 mph due to all-terrain tires. The reviewer questions the value proposition, noting its $223,450 starting price, a $75,000 premium over the GTS, and suggests it's a niche vehicle for existing Porsche collectors rather than a practical off-roader. Other highlights include the Genesis X Convertible concept, praised for its design but lamented as a concept, and the Hyundai Ioniq 6's US specifications, with particular attention to its impressive 340-mile EPA range and fast charging capabilities. The Fiat 500e's US arrival in 2024 is also noted, with expectations of a competitive price point and over 150 miles of range. The segment concludes with updates on the Lucid Gravity SUV tease and the more affordable Lucid Air trims, alongside preliminary specs for the Porsche Macan EV and the end of Acura NSX production.
