World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

God, that's so pathetic on both parties tbh... Instead of focusing on the long term goals for the company and planet, they rather appeal to the short term goals for their brand and keep making combustion motors just so some vain lame can "sound cool." Although all new vehicles imo should be hybrid by now, including diesel hybrids those would get crazy range from what I've heard.
If they'd use synfuel it wouldn't be that bad. It's way more expensive that regular fuel but the rich fucks can pay that for the bragging rights. But every synfuel proposal gets swarmed by lobbyist trying to water it down to normal fuel with homeopathic amount of synfuel added
It takes more energy to make synfuel than just burning regular gas, and it makes the same amount of C02.
They should brand it sympfuel.
They already replaced the Huracan with a hybrid
Oh that's what's up!
Depends on the way they go, Hydrogen can be used in ICE and it's still clean.
It's wildly inefficient, but what Lambo is efficient? If they can have the best of both worlds, good luck to them.
If they mean lets keep with Fossil fuels, they can go fuck themselves.
Hydrogen would require a tank the size of Trump's ass.
You can sit on your high horse and make EV sportscars, but no one will buy one.
Also, these are bullshit brands. Typical owners keep them 24 months or less and barely drive 2000km a year.
Fine, then supercars die. Big whoop, look super cars are just eye candy that would need to evolve regardless of what people might want. If they don't they die its that simple, if someone's false sense of security needs to amplified by a combustion motor rather than idk not causing an actual fucking extinction of humanity then I rather let those old farts cry in a electric Bugatti that can smoke anything but will sounds all "lame. "
Eh, they won't die, they'll just get taxed probably. Look at Italy for example, they charge for any power over 250hp + displacement. At the end of the day if we're not talking about city pollution cars pale in comparison to the shipping industry and airlines.
In the future they would need to be banned, things aren't looking great when it comes to the climate and taxes won't make it better. As a car guy I'll weep when that time comes, but we can't sacrifice the world for a form of transportation. And by then I'll assume all city vehicles would be either very efficient hybrids or fully EVs.
Pretty sure Porsche's EV models have been quite popular
Pretty sure Porsche stopped making them because of poor sales.
They started with one electric model and currently have 3, 5 if you count the Taycan variants.
So... no? Also why go off on something so easy to look up?
This was about sports cars right? Good luck taking your cayenne to a track day, I like dumb cars as much as the next person but it's like trying to enjoy a RSQ8 on a british b-road
Are you saying the Taycan isn't a sports car?
Can you read? I'm talking about the rest of the EV range.
Taycan is mid because it's way too old tech-wise and too big and heavy. If they actually bothered to make an EV Cayman I'd call that an actual sports car.
Taycan is just a hot executive sedan/wagon, I wouldn't really call an E63 a sports car, but my idea is something smaller and lighter, S2K being a perfect example.
But why? It makes no sense to do so given the context of the conversation. I assumed you'd missed the Taycan somehow rather than that you were just arguing in bad faith.
Bruh. The sport variant does 0-60 in 3 seconds. 690 horsepower. Get real.
You were the one who brought up the rest of the EVs?
edit: taycan also weighs more than a w222 while making comparable power so what? i wouldn't call an s class a sports car
a hummer ev does 0-60 in the same amount of time, it's still not a sports car
A hummer EV is not a sedan. Get outta here with your no-true-scotsman nonsense. You realize the Taycan is the safety car for Formula E, right?
Aston were a safety car at some point and they make luxury grand tourers so that doesn't matter. It doesn't take much to make a fast EV, it takes a lot to make it drive like an S2K or a 350Z, which is my point and you'd know that already if you bothered to read my previous comment lmfao.
Your definition is subjective, same as mine, I think Porsche and a lot of other manufacturers are muddying it further for the sake of sales which I have a problem with and I wish they'd stop.
Any of you ever seen an MG Cyberster? Yeah me neither
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE someones driving 300 miles per year on gas 🤣
