The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT – all 1,108PS (815kW) of it – got me wondering, what is the perfect horsepower figure for a road car? I'm going to go out on a limb and say it isn't anywhere near 1,000; in fact, I think a modest (by modern standards) 300-350 is all you need to have good fun – any more is just needless frivolity.
OPINION: The world's gone wild with stupid horsepower figures – 300's all you need
