RS5


But for a more fair comparison:

Taycan or eTron GT?

Would be happy with either, but I would pick the Porsche, well because Porsche...

They are twinsies anyway.
 
E-Tron vs RS5: Audi E-Tron.

E-Tron vs Taycan: I prefer the E-Tron by the smallest of margins... I may end up saying the Taycan on another day.

IS500 vs BMW M3: I'm going for the IS500 instantly.
 
E-tron over Taycan.

If it wasn't an M3 I would go Lexus but the M3 is so much more than the engine. The entire suspension package and the completeness of the M3 is what lures me in.
But are they really a match? In my eyes the Lexus, in spite of the Sport addition, is more of a fast GT while the M3 is a sportscar.
 
Audi RS e-tron GT coupe.

One of them would likely keep their value, be more reliable, cheaper to maintain than the other.

Unfortunately, that means I have to go with the Big L.

BMW M3 with M xDrive which is going to be available this summer.

I think I'd go for the Tuatara.
 
Battle of the Electric Bruisers: Porsche because Porsche.
Battle of the Prominent Proboscidea: Lexus because NA V8.
Battle of the Century: Duesenberg because there’s nothing classier than an open Model J.
 
The Duesenberg has soul. The SSC is just another generic looking hypercar. Also, wasn't the Tuatara the one that's top speed was disputed?

Duesenberg.
 
Tuatara. I like the Duesenberg, but I've always said I like low downforce, top speed focused supercars and I kinda have to put my money where my mouth is, or whatever that saying is.
 
I normal times I would pick the BMW, it seems the 20s of the 21st century of this new millennium has us in very abnormal times...

LexusIS500 for me.


I have always hated the Tuatara name, but I will pick that over the D.
