#TodayILearned that a car company in #Indonesia sold Porsche 911 clones in the 1990s that used Mazda engines located in the FRONT of the car.

Details are hazy, but it seems that an executive of Indomobil spun off a company called Marvia that took Porsche 964 body parts and basically cloned their shape, likely by making fiberglass molds from them. The body panels were then mounted on a Mazda MR90 chassis, retaining its 70 HP engine.

While Marvia was making these clones, Indomobil was working on a deal with #Porsche to sell the 996 in Indonesia. Of course, once Porsche got wind of the clone, the deal was called off.

Only 50 Marvia clones were made. Some people speculated that some “Marvias” were actually Porsches that were imported illegally into Indonesia, and given Marvia VINs.

So bizarre!

Nein, nicht wir verlieren die rückständische, ewig gestrige deutsche, Autoindustrie!
Die besserwisserischen, jahrelang ignoranten, hauptsächlich alten weißen Männer, haben es trotz immer wieder, mahnender Worte, geschafft sich selbst absolut überflüssig zu machen. #bmw #zipse #klatten #vw #mercedes #audi #porsche und viele andere. #efules

Der Wirkungsgrad von #bev ist unübertroffen herrausragend. #klimaschutz

Auch elektrische Energie aus erneuerbaren Quellen ist objektiv zu schade für "Fahrspaß" a la #Porsche oder #Xiaomi.

Wenn es uns nicht gelingt Autofahren auf ein vernünftiges, notwendiges Maß zurückzuführen, sind wir sowas von lost!

"So wie Du Rad fährst oder spazieren gehst, fahre ich eben zur Entspannung Sportwagen oder Motorrad!" - finde den Fehler!

#Porsche is already selling lots more electric #Macans than gas ones
Porsche sold more #BEV than #PHEV, with a 23.5% BEV share and 12.6% PHEV share. This represents a 14.5% increase from the previous year’s results – a big rise in #EV sales alongside a drop in #gas model sales.

I think it's good that #Jaguar *stopped making #cars* because the cars they did make in recent times were #SuperUselessVehicles, overpriced and ugly #ConceptCars one couldn't even buy and just generally worse, more expensive and less quality than anything other European brands coughed up.

  • If someone wanted something sporty, #Audi and #Porsche would get them a good offering at a lower price.

  • If they needed some shitty #SUV, #MercedesBenz and #BMW would offer their GL & X series if a #VW #Tiguan wasn't wasn't cutting it and they didn't want an #Amarok.

  • And for anything #cargo or #HighCapacity Jaguar never offered anything (unless we cound requesition production during #WW2 & #WW1)...

I do blame the folks at #TataMotors who own Jaguar (and #LandRover) for refusing to actually innovate and produce some good vehicles.

Obviously Jaguar won't build a #PersonalLightVehicle even if they were to make a super-luxurious one that has the interior of a fighter jet and a price tag to match.

  • Similarly #Bentley struggles as well and for #RollsRoyce their car division - like the #camera division of #Leica - is just a tiny side-hustle kept rolling out of passion and tradition whilst being a rounding error in their finances (cuz the most made Product of Rolls Royce is called "Trent", not "Phantom" and is a turofan engine. likewise Leica makes their money with precision engineering and lab instruments)!

I mean, look at what Jaguar, Land Rover, Bentley, Rolls Royce et. al. offer in a time where people in the U.S. get 5+ year downpayments on USED CARS (!!!) and tell me with a straight face that this is a sustainable market.

  • Spoiler: It's not!

Ja wo darf ich denn anfangen? Im Libanon oder Ludwigsburg, und ist das "hybrid", weil es "mal da und mal dort ist"?

Abgesehen davon, dass ich echt nur nach 2 Jahren Arbeitslosigkeit eventuell darüber nachdenken würde bei einem Automobilhersteller zu arbeiten, bevor mir alles gestrichen würde.
