Also because of the EV revolution and to a certain extent China’s cheap exports flooding the markets. At the end of the day, most people who buy cars buy them for practical reasons - cheap, can get from point A to B, relatively reliable - not many will buy for driving dynamics and handling and engine horsepower and wheel torque.
EV horsepower and torque are cheap. The problem with China EV especially the lower cost options, the chassis is weak. The horsepower is overwhelming the chassis, suspension, which is dangerous for non trained driver.
Secondly, the thermal management also not for sustainable high power output.
At China, there is peak output + 30min sustainable nominal output on the door sticker. But average consumer don't know where to look, and car makers also keep quiet about that.
Porsche is actually the honest one that quote nominal figures + peak during overboost.
Also Hyundai Ionic 5N can outlast Taycan base/4/4S in track endurance battery/motor/brake by large margin. That's mind blowing thermal management.
*Not sure if Turbo get more thermal capacity than the lower Taycan trim.
China EV, so far Zeekr 001 FR is the only one with sustainable thermal management that is in production.
