Electrifying Porsche Taycan Base Model takes centre stage in Hong Kong

Electric Vehicles (EV) and hybrid cars have been significantly expanding over the last decade, especially with supportive policies and technology advancement, according to the International Energy Agency. In fact, a report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance stated 58 percent of global passenger vehicle sales in 2040 will come from electric vehicles. With the Hong Kong government actively supporting the adoption of EV cars throughout the city and a wider range of options available on the market, is it time to switch over to electric cars?

A larger network of charging stations 
The local government has, for several years, taking an active role in supporting the adoption of electric cars in the city through tax reductions, financial incentives and more importantly laying out infrastructures for charging stations across the city. In 2019, The Chief Executive announced the preparation of a $2 billion pilot subsidy scheme to promote the installation of an EV charging network that will be made easily accessible to EV car owners in private residential car parks as well as public parking spaces.&nbsp;

Better for the environment 
Hong Kong’s air pollution index has been a major cause of concern for many residents, as well as the local government, prompting it to facilitate an EV-friendly city to combat the detrimental consequences of greenhouse gas emissions from petrol and diesel vehicles. According to the Environmental Protection Department, 60% of carbon monoxide emissions comes from transportation. Because electric cars are powered by electric motors that run on rechargeable batteries, replacing conventional cars with EV cars drastically reduces carbon emissions into the air.&nbsp;

More Economical 
One of the biggest reservations most consumers have when considering an electric car is the mileage. The Tesla Model 3 currently boasts the longest range among other EV cars on the market, covering 320miles on a full six to nine-hour charge. In contrast, conventional fuel-pumped cars go between 360 to 480 miles on a full tank, needless to mention that refuelling also takes less time. But Hong Kong also has the most expensive auto-fuel retail price in the world, according to the Consumer Council. It costs $17 per litre to pump gas while charging an EV car is free.&nbsp;
However, if road trips out of the city is a priority, hybrid cars offer the best of both words covering a longer range fueled by reusable energy, and gas as a reserve. Otherwise, there are about 3,351 EV charging stations across the city, at refuelling stations, public parking spaces as well as private residential car parks (one within every 10km).

A growing range of options 
Over the years the number of electric vehicles and hybrid cars entering the market has steadily increased, offering an optimistic future for the development and advancement of EV cars. No longer exclusive to Tesla, the industry now features some of the biggest names in the motor industry including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin, Porsche and Volkswagen, to name a few. Rolls Royce had also declared its commitment to manufacturing a line of EV cars, skipping on hybrids completely, and iPhone and Macintosh technology company Apple also recently announced that it will be rolling out an EV car in 2024.
As of right now, Tesla remains in the lead, offering models with the longest range and quickest acceleration on the market, however that will soon change with more hybrid sedans and utility EVs expected to come out of the woodworks with improved specifications, performance, charging time, and even more luxurious exterior and interior layouts.&nbsp;

Save on cost 
Though the cost of purchasing an EV car can set you back anywhere between $500,000 to $1 million, the cost of maintenance and servicing will save buyers money in the long run. Conventional cars consist of several parts that often break down or need regular servicing or maintenance, whereas EV cars only need to be serviced twice a year and have their brake fluid replaced every 5 years. Though the battery packs are the most expensive part to maintaining ((between five to fifteen thousand) an EV car, most battery packs come with an eight-year (or 100,000miles) warranty and take about 17 years to die (or&nbsp; 200,000miles).&nbsp;
So, is it time to switch to electric cars? 
There are at least 12,000 registered electric cars in the city and despite the initial upfront cost of switching over to an electric car is high, the need for maintenance, servicing and downtime are much less and more convenient than conventional cars. Saving at least $5,000 per year, not including the government’s incentives. And with a wider range of options to hit the market in the next few years, and a more widespread network of EV chargers in gross spaces, both public and private residential areas across the city to accommodate the demands of private electric car owners, there is very little downside to a sustainable, cost-efficient and eco-friendly move as to switch from conventional gas-powered cars to its electric alternative.&nbsp;

The new 911 models are fitted with Porsche&#8217;s new generation of flat-six turbocharged engines, whose power is delivered through a newly-developed eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. For the S type models, this translates to a whopping 450bHp produced – a 30bHp increase to the previous generation – which sees these sportscars zip from 0-100kmph in less than four seconds.

Aware of the demands of driving in today&#8217;s Digital Age, the Porsche 911 models been fitted with cutting-edge technology to ensure ultimate comfort and convenience to its driver, including a 10.9-inch touchscreen monitor from which to control the car&#8217;s settings. More interestingly, Porsche has also unveiled the world&#8217;s first Wet mode, designed to detect wet road conditions and adjust for a safe drive experience accordingly. If that weren&#8217;t enough, there&#8217;s also a Night Vision Assist function debuting in the new models, where a thermal imaging camera helps improve vision in the dark.

It&#8217;s not just the mechanics that have seen a significant improvement. The new Porsche 911 models also feature a more muscular appearance, boasting wider wheel arches, recessed bonnet, wider rear spoiler and automated pop-out door handles, yet despite its sportier appeal, its underlying charm is all classic Porsche.

A <a href="https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24452/lot/44/">rare Porsche 550A</a> from 1958 was snapped up at Bonhams’ Scottsdale Auction earlier this year. With its impeccable racing pedigree and well-documented provenance, the vintage sports car was a top attraction at the event.

Built in 1958 as the penultimate model of a limited 40-car release, this Porsche was first purchased by Dutch nobleman, Count Carel Godin de Beaufort. Under his ownership, it scored a class win and was sixth overall at the Nürburgring 1000 Kilometers. It also proved its mettle at the grueling Le Mans 24 Hours race, placing second in class and fifth overall.
These victories marked the beginning of a prodigious and long-lived racing career that continued well into the 21st century, and spanned both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Most recently, the 550A participated in ten consecutive Mille Miglia races in Italy.

When it went under the hammer, this rare Porsche 550A was smartly outfitted in its historic #32 livery from the 1958 Le Mans. Under the hood lay a period-accurate engine and a 4-speed gearbox. Given its impressive provenance and near-mint condition, it came as no surprise that the vintage sports car fetched a final price of US$5.17 million.

This year promises to be an absolute thriller for adrenaline junkies, with the release of new cars from Lamborghini to Aston Martin.
We have picked out some of the top luxury vehicles set for release in 2017.
Lamborghini Aventador S
What better way to start off the year than by Lamborghini announcing their brand new car, the Aventador S.
With power, style and finesse packed into one, it’s the ultimate status symbol for anyone in Hong Kong.
But, questions may be asked about what makes the Aventador so special. Well, according to the dealer’s spokesman, Jason Lau, the 740hp, v12 machine capable of speeds up to 350km/h has a “new aerodynamic design, redeveloped suspension, increased power and new driving dynamics”.
But, this car doesn’t come cheap as it will cost more than the HK$6.65 million Aventador Coupe.
Aston Martin DB11
If you’re feeling the need for speed, then the Aston Martin DB11 is perfect for you.
Don’t let the outer sleek and stylish look fool you as this car is nothing but raw, primal power. Described as the most powerful production DB model ever, the DB11 comes equipped with a 600-horsepower, 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine.
In addition to the 700Nm of torque and going from zero to 100km/h in less than four seconds, the car can also reach speeds of up to 320km/h.
The DB11 will be significantly cheaper than the Lamborghini Aventador S as it is priced at HK$3.58 million.
Watch the video of Gafencu taking the DB11 for a test drive round Hong Kong here: <a href="//www.gafencushop.com/db11-video/" target="_blank">www.igafencu.com</a>
Porsche Panamera
Porsche is continuing with its four-door theme and has unveiled a brand new model of the Panamera.
But, don’t be fooled by the fact that it doesn’t look as sharp as the Lamborghini Aventador S and Aston Martin DB11 as the Panamera has a top speed of 264km/h.
The car comes with a 550hp, four-litre V8 Panamera Turbo or a 440hp, 2.9-litre V6 Panamera 4S.
If you’re interested in the Panamera, it will cost you HK$1.46 million.
Ferrari GTC4Lusso T V8
Ferrari has been producing luxury sport cars for decades now and they have gone with a different look when it comes to their newest model, the GTC4Lusso T V8.
Make no mistake, the car still comes with all the normal bells and whistles you expect from Ferrari as it features a V8 engine that is capable of pumping out an incredible 760Nm of torque.
The GTC4Lusso T V8 is capable of going from zero to 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds and has a maximum speed of 320km/h. How’s that for you speed lovers!
Surprisingly, the GTC5Lusso T V8 will only cost HK$2.32 million.
BMW 5 Series (520d, 530i and 540i)
The seventh generation of the BMW 5 series is one to look out for if you prefer a more classic look.
With adaptive LED headlights, this series is “the most innovative and connected business sedan”, according to spokeswoman Katherine Ng.
“Its many intelligent functions are adopted from the BMW 7 Series, such as gesture control, wireless charging, voice command, and a display key,” she adds.
The 520d, which costs HK$569,000, comes with a 1,995cc  4-cylinder engine and has 184hp.
As for the 530i, both the luxury and sport edition have a 1,998cc  4-cylinder and boast 252hp. In regards to the price, the luxury edition costs HK$789,000, while the sport edition is slightly cheaper at HK$739,000.
Meanwhile, the 540i is by far the best of the lot as it possesses a 2,998cc  6-cylinder engine and has 340hp. With the upgrades in features, it is no surprise that it is the priciest model at HK$989,000.
