In a riveting video from Car Throttle, we witness a lineup of rear-wheel-drive, manual six-cylinder Coupe cars on the brink of extinction. These automotive gems, including the Toyota Supra and the Cayman GTS 4.0, are celebrated for their unique characteristics and driving experiences. The team delves into the intricate details of each vehicle, from the Bavarian influence in the Supra to the distinctive Porsche engine in the Cayman.
As the cars are put through their paces at Bedford Autodrome, the challenges unfold with slaloms, hot laps, and drifts, showcasing the cars' performance and agility. Despite sharing common traits, such as their engine configurations, each car presents a different driving feel and handling dynamics. The Lotus Emira, equipped with a Toyota engine, surprises with its nimbleness but faces criticism for its steering softness compared to the precision of the Porsche.
Throughout the challenges, the team discusses the impending demise of these cars, citing reasons like emissions regulations and unforeseen cyber security constraints. Despite their impending extinction, the cars shine on the track, with the Lotus emerging as the victor in the team's assessments. The video culminates in a unanimous appreciation for these automotive marvels, with the Porsche ultimately chosen as the preferred ride back home.
