Gedurende die week het Bank Windhoek die wenners van sy handelsmerk liedkompetisie aangekondig. Onder die tema "Is dit moontlik om 'n bank lief te hê?" is PDK as die wenner aangekondig en het 70 000 Namibiese dollar in prysgeld ontvang. Daar was 155 amptelike liedjie-voorleggings en 126 video-inskrywings. Bank Windhoek se hof van bemarking, Jacquiline Pack, het die belangrikheid van die kreatiewe ekonomie beklemtoon en die bank se verbintenis tot kreatiewe kunste uiteengesit.

In this episode of Build Momentum, we are joined by Dr. James Lane, Chief Executive Officer of PDK International, a nonprofit that supports those who work in public education, and its community-based movement Educators Rising. He has served at the federal, state, and local levels: in the U.S. Department of Education as Acting Assistant Secretary and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education; as Superintendent of Public Instruction in Virginia; and as Superintendent of three Virginia school divisions in Chesterfield County, Goochland County, and Middlesex County. Dr. Lane is also a former school principal and band director.Some Questions We Ask:Tell us more about your career at all levels of K-12 education and now as a leader at PDK? (01:22)What is the most rewarding aspect of your career? (05:01)What insights from your time in the Department of Education surprised you—and were there any misconceptions about the superintendency that you experienced while working as a policymaker?

Die aktuellen Automobilkurznachrichten mit Michael Weyland Thema heute:  Neuer Porsche 911 GT3 meistert Nordschleife in 6:56,294 Minuten      Der Porsche 911 GT3 ist das schnellste Serienfahrzeug mit manuellem Schaltgetriebe auf der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Porsche Markenbotschafter Jörg Bergmeister unterbot den bis dato geltenden Rekord eines deutlich stärker motorisierten Mitbewerbers um mehr als 9,5 Sekunden. Aufgrund umfangreicher Weiterentwicklungen aller performancerelevanten Fahrzeugkomponenten war der handgeschaltete 911 GT3 mit Weissach Paket sogar 3,633 Sekunden schneller unterwegs als das Vorgängermodell (992.1) mit Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK).   „Immer mehr Kunden des 911 GT3 entscheiden sich für das Sechsgang-Schaltgetriebe. Und immer häufiger werden wir von diesen Kunden gefragt, wie schnell denn ein 911 GT3 mit Handschaltung auf der Nordschleife wäre“, berichtet man bei Porsche. „Diese Frage haben wir jetzt beantwortet und sind – obwohl wir wissen, dass die Variante mit PDK noch einmal deutlich schneller ist – unsere offizielle Rundenzeit mit manuellem Sechsganggetriebe gefahren. Auch ohne die automatisierten, superschnellen und präzisen Schaltvorgänge des PDK und mit konventionellem statt elektronisch geregeltem Sperrdifferenzial nimmt der neue 911 GT3 seinem Vorgänger mit PDK rund 3,6 Sekunden ab.“ Bei sonnigem Wetter, 12 Grad Umgebungs- und 27 Grad Asphalttemperatur ging Jörg Bergmeister am späten Nachmittag im 375 kW (510 PS) starken 911 GT3 mit Weissach Paket auf die 20,832 Kilometer lange Strecke. Wie bei der offiziellen Runde des Vorgängermodells waren straßenzugelassene Reifen des Typs Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 R in den Dimensionen 255/35 R20 vorn und 315/30 R21 hinten montiert. Bessere Performance bei gleicher Motorleistung „Der neue 911 GT3 vermittelt am Limit noch mehr Vertrauen als das Vorgängermodell. Ich bin in fast jeder Kurve schneller unterwegs gewesen“, beschreibt Jörg Bergmeister das Fahrverhalten des Sportwagens. „Vor allem beim Fahrwerk haben wir eine Menge vom 911 GT3 RS gelernt. Das Auto liegt auf Bodenwellen und über die Curbs deutlich ruhiger. Und dank der acht Prozent kürzeren Übersetzung liegt bei gleicher Motorleistung beim Beschleunigen spürbar mehr Kraft an der Hinterachse an. Auch wenn es mit dem Siebengang-PDK noch ein paar Sekunden schneller gegangen wäre – mit dem Sechsgang-Schaltgetriebe hatte ich auf der schnellen Runde definitiv mehr zu tun und somit auch ein bisschen mehr Spaß“.

Die aktuellen Automobilkurznachrichten mit Michael Weyland Thema heute: Der neue Porsche 911 GT3 und 911 GT3 mit Touring-Paket     Porsche legt den 911 GT3 neu auf. Der besonders rundstreckentaugliche Straßensportwagen debütiert in seinem Jubiläumsjahr mit erweiterter Leichtbaustrategie, einem frei saugenden 4,0-Liter-Boxermotor mit 375 kW (510 PS) und 450 Nm sowie neuen, besonders kundenorientierten Optionen. Erstmals ist für den 911 GT3 ein Weissach-Paket erhältlich, mit dem man das Fahrzeug noch individueller für den Einsatz auf Rundstrecken konfigurieren kann. Der 4,0-Liter-Saugmotor des neuen 911 GT3 wurde auf die aktuellen, deutlich verschärften Abgasnormen ausgelegt, der Boxermotor leistet aber unverändert 375 kW (510 PS). In der leichtesten Fahrzeugkonfiguration muss der Motor lediglich 2,8 kg/PS (3,8 kg/kW) bewegen. Zudem verfügen sowohl das 7-Gang-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) als auch das 6-Gang-GT-Schaltgetriebe über eine im Vergleich zum Vorgänger um acht Prozent kürzere Achsübersetzung. Beide Getriebeoptionen sind sowohl für den 911 GT3 als auch für den 911 GT3 mit Touring-Paket verfügbar. Der neue 911 GT3 beschleunigt mit PDK in 3,4 Sekunden auf Tempo 100 und erreicht eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 311 km/h, mit dem Handschaltgetriebe sind es 3,9 Sekunden bzw.  313 km/h. Individuelle Pakete für 911 GT3 und 911 GT3 Touring Für den neuen 911 GT3 bietet Porsche verschiedene Ausstattungspakete an. Mit dem erstmals verfügbaren Weissach-Paket kann der 911 GT3 noch individueller für den Einsatz auf Rundstrecken konfiguriert werden. Stabilisator, Koppelstangen und Schubfeld an der Hinterachse bestehen ebenso aus CfK wie Dach, Sideplates des Heckflügels, Außenspiegeloberschale, Spiegeldreieck und die Airblades im Frontbereich. Zusätzliche Leder- und Race-Tex-Bezüge werten den Innenraum optisch auf. Optional sind ein CfK-Überrollkäfig und die Magnesium-Leichtbau-Schmiederäder erhältlich. Der neue Porsche 911 GT3 kann ab Ende des Jahres bestellt werden. Sie sollten sich darauf eistellen, dass Ihr Bankkonto danach um mindestens 209.000,00 Euro geschrumpft ist. Ich vermute allerdings, dass es noch um einiges mehr sein wird, denn es gibt mit Sicherheit auch noch das eine oder andere Extra, das Sie mitbestellen werden. Und sei es nur der Chronograph, den Porsche als „Sportwagen fürs Handgelenk exklusiv für Besitzer des 911 GT3 und des 911 GT3 Touring im Porsche Design anbietet.   Alle Fotos: Dr. Ing. h.c. F.

Au Kurdistan irakien, trois millions d'électeurs sont appelés aux urnes ce dimanche 20 octobre. Ces élections législatives étaient sans cesse reportées depuis deux ans à cause des divisions entre les deux principaux partis, le Parti démocratique du Kurdistan (PDK) et l'Union patriotique du Kurdistan (UPK). Un tiers des votants ont entre 18 et 30 ans. Réserve de voix incontournable, ces jeunes électeurs qui ont grandi dans un Kurdistan autonome et libéré de l'emprise irakienne rejettent ce bipartisme qui paralyse le pays.   De notre correspondant à Souleymanieh, Lucas LazoKlaxons, feux d'artifices : la fin de campagne a été animée dans le centre-ville de Souleymanieh. Épicentre des mouvements étudiants au Kurdistan, la ville se démarque par une certaine liberté de ton. Nous retrouvons Kanye, la vingtaine, dans un parc à l'écart du tumulte. Comme de nombreux jeunes ici à Souleymanieh, Kanye exprime sa défiance à l'égard du scrutin : « Le Parlement ne sert à rien ! C'est le truc le plus inutile de tout le Kurdistan. Ils promettent qu'ils feront quelque chose pour toi, mais ils ne peuvent rien faire. Ils ne sont pas des politiciens déterminés à faire le bien pour leur peuple. » Militante féministe, Kanye ne baisse pas les bras, mais elle déplore l'inaction du gouvernement, alors qu'un jeune sur trois ne trouve pas de travail. Une situation qui pousse chaque année plus de 30 000 Kurdes vers l'exil : « On a l'impression qu'ils font tout leur possible pour pousser la jeunesse à partir. Je suis de cette jeunesse qui ne souhaite pas quitter son pays, je veux le rendre meilleur ! Ces politiques ne font que nous poser des limites et à la fin, ils nous empêcheront de faire quoi que ce soit. »Muhammad a 24 ans. Photographe passionné d'histoire, il nous ouvre les portes de sa chambre noire. Lui non plus n'aspire pas à quitter le Kurdistan. Au contraire, il rêve d'en raviver les couleurs du passé : « J'utilise des vieux films pour comprendre comment les photos d'autrefois ont été prises et pour documenter la mémoire visuelle du Kurdistan. »« Je suis sans espoir »Pourtant, Muhammad est inquiet : la campagne très tendue qui s'achève a ravivé les divisions entre les deux principaux partis politiques kurdes, le PDK et l'UPK, qui se partagent le pouvoir depuis la fin de la guerre civile des années 1990. Une situation dangereuse, selon lui, pour l'unité de la région : « Ils se battent les uns les autres pour des problèmes politiques. Je suis fier d'être kurde, mais je ne suis pas fier d'être un Kurde qui déteste les Kurdes. » Dans un café discret du centre-ville, nous retrouvons Stella. En 2021, cette étudiante avait rejoint les cortèges dénonçant la corruption qui paralyse le Kurdistan. Aujourd'hui, la jeune femme a complètement perdu toute illusion : « Si vous voulez la vérité, je suis sans espoir. Je ne crois pas que les choses puissent changer, à moins que cette génération soit effacée et remplacée par la suivante. Comme ça, peut-être que les choses changeront. Si l'Irak peut garantir nos droits élémentaires, alors ça ne me dérange pas d'être avec l'Irak. »Sans espoir, donc, au point de souhaiter le retour de Bagdad pour prendre le contrôle du Kurdistan. Une conviction inhabituelle dans cette région qui s'est battue pour obtenir une autonomie aujourd'hui affaiblie par la crise économique et la paralysie démocratique. Pas sûr que ces élections puissent rétablir la confiance entre la jeunesse kurde et la classe politique.

In this episode, Ben Bajarin and Jay Goldberg discuss the tectonic shift happening in the semiconductor industry due to the rise of AI. They highlight the need for substantial improvements in energy-efficient computing performance and the importance of reducing power consumption. The conversation also touches on the role of companies like Applied Materials in driving innovation and advancements in the industry. They discuss Intel's investments in advanced packaging and lithography, as well as the release of their PDK. The episode concludes with a discussion on the breakthrough in high NA EUV technology by Imec.

Porsche took inspiration from its history of off-road racing 911s and put that into a limited-edition, road-going package dubbed Dakar. This model transforms the 911 Carrera and turns it into a high-riding machine. Equipped with no back seat, and fixed-back buckets in front, this 911 isn't making light of its racing focus, even if none ever see a rally stage in anger. The 911 Dakar also sports bespoke front and rear fascias, that help better protect the machine from the trials and tribulations of off-roading. Porsche also lifted the 911 Dakar and included an adjustable ride-height suspension to crank it up a little more. Behind the driver is still a flat-six that sends 473 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed PDK transmission. From there, power travels through the standard all-wheel-drive system to get to the off-road rubber. On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2023 Porsche 911 Dakar and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the 911 Dakar and highlights some of the changes and his favorite features. Later, Wren takes you along on a live drive review of this limited-edition Porsche. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Autoweek's Patrick Carone about the 911 Dakar, the proliferation of off-roading sports cars in the marketplace, and more. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes this 911 special.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: How a chip is designed, published by YM on June 28, 2024 on LessWrong. Disclaimer: This is highly incomplete. I am not an expert in the field. There might be some unfamiliar terms. While I will try to explain things, explaining every single term would be beyond this post. You will usually be able to get a sufficient understanding by clicking the links or googling it. Introduction I think everyone, if they read about the chip industry long enough, has a moment where they have to put down a book or pause a podcast and simply remain stunned at the fact that it is possible to design and build something that is so incredibly impressive. The Apple A17 chip contains 183 million transistors per square millimeter. All placed in a coherent manner and produced with extremely high reliability. This is exactly why it is so fascinating to learn more about how it is actually done. On top of that, in a universe where compute is arguably the most important input in the AI production function, this knowledge is also crucial to effective AI governance. So what follows is a quick introduction to the processes of getting a chip from a vague idea to sending your files to the manufacturer, also called the tape-out. Background Knowledge One of the most important decisions, a decision that significantly determines all the others, is what manufacturer will build your chip and what process they will use. There are companies that do both design and manufacturing (e.g. Intel), but especially when it comes to the most advanced logic chips, more and more companies are what is called " fabless" - they focus on the design and task a so-called "foundry" (e.g. TSMC) with the manufacturing. Nowadays many fabs and fabless companies work together very closely in what is called Design-Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO). In practice, there are quite significant limitations in chip design, and the fab will check design plans and inform designers what can and can't be manufactured. This collaborative approach ensures that chip designs are optimized for the specific manufacturing process, balancing performance, power, area, and yield considerations. DTCO has become increasingly important as the industry approaches the physical limits of semiconductor scaling, requiring closer integration between design teams and process engineers to continue advancing chip capabilities. The foundry sends the design company what is called the process design kit ( PDK ), which contains all the important specifics to the fab and the manufacturing process (also known as the technology node). One factor that in large part determines the profitability of a chip is the yield of the manufacturing process. The yield is the fraction of chips produced that work flawlessly and can be sold. Compared to other types of products, in the semiconductor industry the yield is quite low, sometimes moving significantly below 50% for periods of time, especially at the beginning of a new technology node. To improve yield, optimal manufacturability is taken into account at many stages of the design process in what is called Design for Manufacturability (DFM). Chips are also designed to be easy to test (Design For Testability, DFT). In this post we are focussing on the design process, not with the actual manufacturing steps or the details of a transistor. But it is important to know that in practice we are working with standard cells that are all equal in height and vary in width. varies to make design and manufacturing easier. Often the IP for the standard cells is licensed from third parties. The Design Process My stages follow the outline given by Prof. Adam Teman in this lecture.

Ajmal and Marc discuss car servicing in general, Marc reviews a drive of his 356, and there is the general natter and tangents they go down discussing all things life and cars. The topic of car colours comes up, and the general absence of transaxles cars on our roads these days. Porsche Books for Christmas anyone? Marc has received a couple in the post, and the topics are also discussed. How do you all drive a PDK or other Dual Clutch Car? Reach out to the boys, follow, message, observations and questions. Ajmal is @flatcapdriver Marc is @marcandcars Thank you for listening, and please share this podcast. It really helps the channel more than you can know.

En 2004 Porsche fue la primera marca en ofrecer un cambio de doble embrague llamado PDK como opción en sus 911…. ahora es de serie y la opción es el manual… El Mundo al revés. Muchos me habéis pedido videos de técnica y otros, comparar un cambio de doble embrague con uno manual… Hoy voy a satisfacer a todos. Cambio manual, cómo funciona. Hay cosas en los coches que todo el mundo cree que saben cómo funcionan, pero no todos los saben. Una de ellas es el cambio. Muchos aficionados, cuando usan la palanca creen que hay piñones que se desplazan y tienen que engranar, de ahí que, si lo haces mal, las marchas rascan. Pues no. Lo voy a explicar de forma muy sencilla: Los piñones, todos los de todas las marchas, están siempre engranados los unos con los otros. Generalmente son la excepción de la marcha atrás. Cada marcha tiene dos pares de piñones, uno que gira al régimen del motor y otro al régimen de las ruedas. Y os preguntaréis, “si giran locos, ¿Cómo se mueve el coche?”. Sencillo, lo que haces con la palanca de cambios es desplazar unas piezas que bloquean unos u otros piñones, según la marcha. Y antes de que esas piezas móviles lleguen a los piñones están los llamados “sincros”, unos anillos que “rozan” unos con otros e igualan la velocidad de esos piñones que giraban “libres” antes de bloquearlos. Como funciona un cambio de doble embrague. Para mí un cambio de doble embrague no es un cambio automático, sino un cambio manual secuencial que puede robotizarse y hacerse automático. Pero da igual que lo consideramos un manual que puede usarse en automático o un automático que puede usarse como manual, lo importante es que sepamos cómo funciona… En realidad, más que cambios de “doble embrague” deberíamos decir “doble cambio con doble embrague”. El sistema es sencillísimo de entender. Hay dos cambios y dos embragues. Imagínate que vamos en uno de los cambios, por ejemplo, en segunda marcha. ¿Os acordáis cuando hablábamos del sensor del acelerador? Esto permite al coche saber si queremos correr menos, reducir o correr más. Como os decía, el coche tiene dos cambios y vamos en uno de ellos en segunda… y el otro, en función de nuestras intenciones, ya tiene insertada la primera o la tercera. Cuando el conductor en la palanca o en la leva del volante lo decide el coche no cambia de marcha, simplemente se desacopla un embrague y se acopla el otro. Es un sistema que Porsche desarrollo en competición en 1983 en su 956 de forma experimental y que permite que sea el conductor quien cambie en las levas del volante o en la palanca, o que sea el propio coche. ¿Y cuál es mejor? Objetivamente, no lo dudes, es más eficiente el cambio de doble embrague tipo PDK: Es más rápido, más fiable e impide que un error del conductor estropee el motor o el cambio. Por algo será que, cuando el reglamento lo permite, es el usado sistemáticamente en competición. Algo tendrá el agua cuando la bendicen. Pero cuando hablamos de disfrutar de un coche, no siempre lo más eficiente es lo mejor. Por ejemplo, a lo mejor es más eficiente un eléctrico que un coche de combustión o es más eficiente, por práctico, una berlina que un coupé. Pero, lo digo siempre, el corazón tiene razones que la razón no entiende. Y es que entiendo perfectamente a los puristas que se gastan el dinero en un Porsche nuevo o usado y eligen o buscan uno con cambio manual. Manejar bien un coche con cambio manual es un verdadero placer y además sientes que haces algo que no todo el mundo es capaz de hacer. A mí me pasa cuando voy por carretera de curvas, trazando fino y haciendo cambios perfectos usando el punta-tacón. Conclusión. No, la conclusión no es si es mejor uno que otro, sino si es mejor o peor para ti. Desde siempre el mundo del automóvil ha tratado de “democratizarse”. Al principio de su historia, conducir un coche no era fácil y no lo hacía cualquiera, solo profesionales, los famosos “chauffeurs” que en español pasó a ser chóferes, o gente adinerada aficionada a la velocidad. Para correr en circuito, no lo dudo, prefiero un buen secuencial, pero para mi coche de cada día, para disfrutar conduciendo no necesariamente “a toda pastilla” sino disfrutar de conducir bien… a lo mejor, si me comprase un Porsche 911 ahora, lo pediría con cambio manual… ¡soy un friqui! Coche de día. He elegido como coche del día al “Halcón milenario”. No, no me refiero a la nave de Han Solo sino al Seat León MKII con el que disputamos las 24 Horas de Montmeló en el año 2008, que tenía cambio de doble embrague. Esto lo conté con detalle en un vídeo del área de miembros… Fue el primer coche con cambio de doble embrague que conduje en circuito y la experiencia fue alucinante.

"Porsche 911 Dakar shows what it can do on gravel, sand and snow As part of testing, the Porsche 911 Dakar handled testing on gravel, sand and snow, with the German automaker excited for the upcoming LA Auto Show.

END AD---" "-on-gravel-sand-and-snow/index.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=newsletter Ahead of its public debut during the LA Auto Show later this month, the Porsche 911 Dakar underwent testing on gravel, sand, and snow. The Dakar model name is a nod to the victory by Porsche in the 1984 Paris-Dakar rally with a purpose-built Porsche 911 car. 4 VIEW GALLERY - 4 IMAGES Overall, Porsche tested the 911 Dakar for 300,000 miles in different weather conditions, including 6,000 miles of off-road testing. These varying environments gave Porsche the best baseline on how the car drives in any type of weather or terrain. During testing on sand dunes in Dubai and Morocco, the 911 Dakar conquered a 160-ft. steep dune climb with outside air temperature topping 113 degrees Fahrenheit. 4 Here is what Frank Moser, VP of the 911/718 model line at Porsche, said in a statement: ""The 911 Dakar delivered strong performance even in the desert. Especially here, the 911 Dakar can make the most of its conceptual advantages - the combination of low weight, higher ground clearance, a powerful rear-mounted engine and a short wheelbase make for an exhilarating driving experience. I was able to experience it myself on test drives in the Sahara."" 4 The snow tests were especially interesting to Porsche, with a specific interest in traction and steering precision. Frozen lakes in Sweden hosted the test drivers with 90 percent compacted snow surface to mimic winter driving. Porsche will wait until the LA Auto Show to offer specifics about the car, which is expected to have extra ground clearance, modifications to make it off-road better, and all-terrain tires to help get the job done. The 911 Dakar's powertrain and full details will be revealed soon, but don't be surprised if the 911 turbocharged flat-xis engine and the eight-speed PDK automatic transmission are included.

About DanDan Moore is head of developer relations for FusionAuth, where he helps share information about authentication, authorization and security with developers building all kinds of applications.A former CTO, AWS certification instructor, engineering manager and a longtime developer, he's been writing software for (checks watch) over 20 years.Links Referenced: FusionAuth: https://fusionauth.io Twitter: https://twitter.com/mooreds TranscriptAnnouncer: Hello, and welcome to Screaming in the Cloud with your host, Chief Cloud Economist at The Duckbill Group, Corey Quinn. This weekly show features conversations with people doing interesting work in the world of cloud, thoughtful commentary on the state of the technical world, and ridiculous titles for which Corey refuses to apologize. This is Screaming in the Cloud.Corey: This episode is sponsored in part by our friends at AWS AppConfig. Engineers love to solve, and occasionally create, problems. But not when it's an on-call fire-drill at 4 in the morning. Software problems should drive innovation and collaboration, NOT stress, and sleeplessness, and threats of violence. That's why so many developers are realizing the value of AWS AppConfig Feature Flags. Feature Flags let developers push code to production, but hide that that feature from customers so that the developers can release their feature when it's ready. This practice allows for safe, fast, and convenient software development. You can seamlessly incorporate AppConfig Feature Flags into your AWS or cloud environment and ship your Features with excitement, not trepidation and fear. To get started, go to snark.cloud/appconfig. That's snark.cloud/appconfig.Corey: This episode is sponsored in part by our friends at Sysdig. Sysdig secures your cloud from source to run. They believe, as do I, that DevOps and security are inextricably linked. If you wanna learn more about how they view this, check out their blog, it's definitely worth the read. To learn more about how they are absolutely getting it right from where I sit, visit Sysdig.com and tell them that I sent you. That's S Y S D I G.com. And my thanks to them for their continued support of this ridiculous nonsense.Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud. I'm Corey Quinn. I am joined today on this promoted episode, which is brought to us by our friends at FusionAuth by Dan Moore, who is their head of DevRel at same. Dan, thank you for joining me.Dan: Corey, thank you so much for having me.Corey: So, you and I have been talking for a while. I believe it predates not just you working over at FusionAuth but me even writing the newsletter and the rest. We met on a leadership Slack many years ago. We've kept in touch ever since, and I think, I haven't run the actual numbers on this, but I believe that you are at the top of the leaderboard right now for the number of responses I have gotten to various newsletter issues that I've sent out over the years.And it's always something great. It's “Here's a link I found that I thought that you might appreciate.” And we finally sat down and met each other in person, had a cup of coffee somewhat recently, and the first thing you asked was, “Is it okay that I keep doing this?” And at the bottom of the newsletter is “Hey, if you've seen something interesting, hit reply and let me know.” And you'd be surprised how few people actually take me up on it. So, let me start by thanking you for being as enthusiastic a contributor of the content as you have been.Dan: Well, I appreciate that. And I remember the first time I ran across your newsletter and was super impressed by kind of the breadth of it. And I guess my way of thanking you is to just send you interesting tidbits that I run across. And it's always fun when I see one of the links that I sent go into the newsletter because what you provide is just such a service to the community. So, thank you.Corey: The fun part, too, is that about half the time that you send a link in, I already have it in my queue, or I've seen it before, but not always. I talked to Jeff Barr about this a while back, and apparently, a big Amazonian theme that he lives by is two is better than zero. He'd rather two people tell him about a thing than no one tells him about the thing. And I've tried to embody that. It's the right answer, but it's also super tricky to figure out what people have heard or haven't heard. It leads to interesting places. But enough about my nonsense. Let's talk about your nonsense instead. So, FusionAuth; what do you folks do over there?Dan: So, FusionAuth is an auth provider, and we offer a Community Edition, which is downloadable for free; we also offer premium editions, but the space we play in is really CIAM, which is Customer Identity Access Management. Very similar to Auth0 or Cognito that some of your listeners might have heard of.Corey: If people have heard about Cognito, it's usually bracketed by profanity, in one direction or another, but I'm sure we'll get there in a minute. I will say that I never considered authentication to be a differentiator between services that I use. And then one day I was looking for a tool—I'm not going to name what it was just because I don't really want to deal with the angry letters and whatnot—but I signed up for this thing to test it out, and “Oh, great. So, what's my password?” “Oh, we don't use passwords. We just every time you want to log in, we're going to email you a link and then you go ahead and click the link.”And I hadn't seen something like that before. And my immediate response to that was, “Okay, this feels like an area they've decided to innovate in.” Their core business is basically information retention and returning it to you—basically any CRUD app. Yay. I don't think this is where I want them to be innovating.I want them to use the tried and true solutions, not build their own or be creative on this stuff, so it was a contributor to me wanting to go in a different direction. When you start doing things like that, there's no multi-factor authentication available and you start to wonder, how have they implemented this? What corners have they cut? Who's reviewed this? It just gave me a weird feeling.And that was sort of the day I realized that authentication for me is kind of like crypto, by which I mean cryptography, not cryptocurrency, I want to be very clear on, here. You should not roll your own cryptography, you should not roll your own encryption, you should buy off-the-shelf unless you're one of maybe five companies on the planet. Spoiler, if you're listening to this, you are almost certainly not one of them.Dan: [laugh]. Yeah. So, first of all, I've been at FusionAuth for a couple of years. Before I came to FusionAuth, I had rolled my own authentication a couple of times. And what I've realized working there is that it really is—there a couple of things worth unpacking here.One is you can now buy or leverage open-source libraries or other providers a lot more than you could 15 or 20 years ago. So, it's become this thing that can be snapped into your architecture. The second is, auth is the front door to application. And while it isn't really that differentiated—I don't think most applications, as you kind of alluded to, should innovate there—it is kind of critical that it runs all the time that it's safe and secure, that it's accessible, that it looks like your application.So, at the same time, it's undifferentiated, right? Like, at the end of the day, people just want to get through authentication and authorization schemes into your application. That is really the critical thing. So, it's undifferentiated, it's critical, it needs to be highly available. Those are all things that make it a good candidate for outsourcing.Corey: There are a few things to unpack there. First is that everything becomes commoditized in the fullness of time. And this is a good thing. Back in the original dotcom bubble, there were entire teams of engineers at all kinds of different e-commerce companies that were basically destroying themselves trying to build an online shopping cart. And today you wind up implementing Shopify or something like it—which is usually Shopify—and that solves the problem for you. This is no longer a point of differentiation.If I want to start selling physical goods on the internet, it feels like it'll take me half an hour or so to wind up with a bare-bones shopping cart thing ready to go, and then I just have to add inventory. Authentication feels like it was kind of the same thing. I mean, back in that song from early on in internet history “Code Monkey” talks about building a login page as part of it, and yeah, that was a colossal pain. These days, there are a bunch of different ways to do that with folks who spend their entire careers working on this exact problem so you can go and work on something that is a lot more core and central to the value that your business ostensibly provides. And that seems like the right path to go down.But this does lead to the obvious counter-question of how is it that you differentiate other than, you know, via marketing, which again, not the worst answer in the world, but it also turns into skeezy marketing. “Yes, you should use this other company's option, or you could use ours and we don't have any intentional backdoors in our version.” “Hmm. That sounds more suspicious and more than a little bit frightening. Tell me more.” “No, legal won't let me.” And it's “Okay.” Aside from the terrible things, how do you differentiate?Dan: I liked that. That was an oddly specific disclaimer, right? Like, whenever a company says, “Oh, yeah, no.” [laugh].Corey: “My breakfast cereal has less arsenic than leading brands.”Dan: Perfect. So yeah, so FusionAuth realizes that, kind of, there are a lot of options out there, and so we've chosen to niche down. And one of the things that we really focus on is the CIAM market. And that stands for Customer Identity Access Management. And we can dive into that a little bit later if you want to know more about that.We have a variety of deployment options, which I think differentiates us from a lot of the SaaS providers out there. You can run us as a self-hosted option with, by the way, professional-grade support, you can use us as a SaaS provider if you don't want to run it yourself. We are experts in operating this piece of software. And then thirdly, you can move between them, right? It's your data, so if you start out and you're bare bones and you want to save money, you can start with self-hosted, when you grow, move to the SaaS version.Or we actually have some bigger companies that kickstart on the SaaS version because they want to get going with this integration problem and then later, as they build out their capabilities, they want the option to move it in-house. So, that is a really key differentiator for us. The last one I'd say is we're really dev-focused. Who isn't, right? Everyone says they're dev-focused, but we live that in terms of our APIs, in terms of our documentation, in terms of our open development process. Like, there's actually a GitHub issues list you can go look on the FusionAuth GitHub profile and it shows exactly what we have planned for the next couple of releases.Corey: If you go to one of my test reference applications, lasttweetinaws.com, as of the time of this recording at least, it asks you to authenticate with your Twitter account. And you can do that, and it's free; I don't charge for any of these things. And once you're authenticated, you can use it to author Twitter threads because I needed it to exist, first off, and secondly, it makes a super handy test app to try out a whole bunch of different things.And one of the reasons you can just go and use it without registering an account for this thing or anything else was because I tried to set that up in an early version with Cognito and immediately gave the hell up and figured, all right, if you can find the URL, you can use this thing because the experience was that terrible. If instead, I had gone down the path of using FusionAuth, what would have made that experience different, other than the fact that Cognito was pretty clearly a tech demo at best rather than something that had any care, finish, spit and polish went into it.Dan: So, I've used Cognito. I'm not going to bag on Cognito, I'm going to leave that to—[laugh].Corey: Oh, I will, don't worry. I'll do all the bagging on Cognito you'd like because the problem is, and I want to be clear on this point, is that I didn't understand what it was doing because the interface was arcane, and the failure mode of everything in this entire sector, when the interface is bad, the immediate takeaway is not “This thing's a piece of crap.” It's, “Oh, I'm bad at this. I'm just not smart enough.” And it's insulting, and it sets me off every time I see it. So, if I feel like I'm coming across as relatively annoyed by the product, it's because it made me feel dumb. That is one of those cardinal sins, from my perspective. So, if you work on that team, please reach out. I would love to give you a laundry list of feedback. I'm not here to make you feel bad about your product; I'm here to make you feel bad about making your customers feel bad. Now please, Dan, continue.Dan: Sure. So, I would just say that one of the things that we've strived to do for years and years is translate some of the arcane IAM Identity Access Management jargon into what normal developers expect. And so, we don't have clients in our OAuth implementation—although they really are clients if you're an RFC junkie—we have applications, right? We have users, we have groups, we have all these things that are what users would expect, even though underlying them they're based on the same standards that, frankly, Cognito and Auth0 and a lot of other people use as well.But to get back to your question, I would say that, if you had chosen to use FusionAuth, you would have had a couple of advantages. The first is, as I mentioned, kind of the developer friendliness and the extensive documentation, example applications. The second would be a themeability. And this is something that we hear from our clients over and over again, is Cognito is okay if you stay within the lines in terms of your user interface, right? If you just want to login form, if you want to stay between lines and you don't want to customize your application's login page at all.We actually provide you with HTML templates. It's actually using a language called FreeMarker, but they let you do whatever the heck you want. Now, of course, with great power comes great responsibility. Now, you own that piece, right, and we do have some more simple customization you can do if all you want to do is change the color. But most of our clients are the kind of folks who really want their application login screen to look exactly like their application, and so they're willing to take on that slightly heavier burden. Unfortunately, Cognito doesn't give you that option at all, as far as I can tell when I've kicked the tires on it. The theming is—how I put this politely—some of our clients have found the theming to be lacking.Corey: That's part of the issue where when I was looking at all the reference implementations, I could find for Cognito, it went from “Oh, you have your own app, and its branding, and the rest,” and bam, suddenly, you're looking right, like, you're logging into an AWS console sub-console property because of course they have those. And it felt like “Oh, great. If I'm going to rip off some company's design aesthetic wholesale, I'm sorry, Amazon is nowhere near anywhere except the bottom 10% of that list, I've got to say. I'm sorry, but it is not an aesthetically pleasing site, full stop. So, why impose that on customers?”It feels like it's one of those things where—like, so many Amazon service teams say, “We're going to start by building a minimum lovable product.” And it's yeah, it's a product that only a parent could love. And the problem is, so many of them don't seem to iterate beyond that do a full-featured story. And this is again, this is not every AWS service. A lot of them are phenomenal and grow into themselves over time.One of the best rags-to-riches stories that I can recall is EFS, their Elastic File System, for an example. But others, like Cognito just sort of seem to sit and languish for so long that I've basically given up hope. Even if they wind up eventually fixing all of these problems, the reputation has been cemented at this point. They've got to give it a different terrible name.Dan: I mean, here's the thing. Like, EFS, if it looks horrible, right, or if it has, like, a toughest user experience, guess what? Your users are devs. And if they're forced to use it, they will. They can sometimes see the glimmers of the beauty that is kind of embedded, right, the diamond in the rough. If your users come to a login page and see something ugly, you immediately have this really negative association. And so again, the login and authentication process is really the front door of your application, and you just need to make sure that it shines.Corey: For me at least, so much of what's what a user experience or user takeaway is going to be about a company's product starts with their process of logging into it, which is one of the reasons that I have challenges with the way that multi-factor auth can be presented, like, “Step one, login to the thing.” Oh, great. Now, you have to fish out your YubiKey, or you have to go check your email for a link or find a code somewhere and punch it in. It adds friction to a process. So, when you have these services or tools that oh, your session will expire every 15 minutes and you have to do that whole thing again to log back in, it's ugh, I'm already annoyed by the time I even look at anything beyond just the login stuff.And heaven forbid, like, there are worse things, let's be very clear here. For example, if I log in to a site, and I'm suddenly looking at someone else's account, yeah, that's known as a disaster and I don't care how beautiful the design aesthetic is or how easy to use it is, we're done here. But that is job zero: the security aspect of these things. Then there's all the polish that makes it go from something that people tolerate because they have to into something that, in the context of a login page I guess, just sort of fades into the background.Dan: That's exactly what you want, right? It's just like the old story about the sysadmin. People only notice when things are going wrong. People only care about authentication when it stops them from getting into what they actually want to do, right? No one ever says, “Oh, my gosh, that login experience was so amazing for that application. I'm going to come back to that application,” right? They notice when it's friction, they noticed when it's sand in the gears.And our goal at FusionAuth, obviously, security is job zero because as you said, last thing you want is for a user to have access to some other user's data or to be able to escalate their privileges, but after that, you want to fade in the background, right? No one comes to FusionAuth and builds a whole application on top of it, right? We are one component that plugs into your application and lets you get on to the fundamentals of building the features that your users really care about, and then wraps your whole application in a blanket of security, essentially.Corey: I'll take even one more example before we just drive this point home in a way that I hope resonates with folks. Everyone has an opinion on logging into AWS properties because “Oh, what about your Amazon account?” At which point it's “Oh, sit down. We're going for a ride here. Are you talking about amazon.com account? Are you talking about the root account for my AWS account? Are you talking about an IAM user? Are you talking about the service formerly known as AWS SSO that's now IAM Identity Center users? Are you talking about their Chime user account? Are you talking about your repost forum account?” And so, on and so on and so on. I'm sure I'm missing half a dozen right now off the top of my head.Yeah, that's awful. I've been also developing lately on top of Google Cloud, and it is so far to the opposite end of that spectrum that it's suspicious and more than a little bit frightening. When I go to console.cloud.google.com, I am boom, there. There is no login approach, which on the one hand, I definitely appreciate, just from a pure perspective of you're Google, you track everything I do on the internet. Thank you for not insulting my intelligence by pretending you don't know who I am when I log into your Cloud Console.Counterpoint, when I log into the admin portal for my Google Workspaces account, admin.google.com, it always re-prompts for a password, which is reasonable. You'd think that stuff running production might want to do something like that, in some cases. I would not be annoyed if it asked me to just type in a password again when I get to the expensive things that have lasting repercussions.Although, given my personality, logging into Gmail can have massive career repercussions as soon as I hit send on anything. I digress. It is such a difference from user experience and ease-of-use that it's one of those areas where I feel like you're fighting something of a losing battle, just because when it works well, it's glorious to the point where you don't notice it. When authentication doesn't work well, it's annoying. And there's really no in between.Dan: I don't have anything to say to that. I mean, I a hundred percent agree that it's something that you could have to get right and no one cares, except for when you get it wrong. And if your listeners can take one thing away from this call, right, I know it's we're sponsored by FusionAuth, I want to rep Fusion, I want people to be aware of FusionAuth, but don't roll your own, right? There are a lot of solutions out there. I hope you evaluate FusionAuth, I hope you evaluate some other solutions, but this is such a critical thing and Corey has laid out [laugh] in multiple different ways, the ways it can ruin your user experience and your reputation. So, look at something that you can build or a library that you can build on top of. Don't roll your own. Please, please don't.Corey: This episode is sponsored in part by Honeycomb. When production is running slow, it's hard to know where problems originate. Is it your application code, users, or the underlying systems? I've got five bucks on DNS, personally. Why scroll through endless dashboards while dealing with alert floods, going from tool to tool to tool that you employ, guessing at which puzzle pieces matter? Context switching and tool sprawl are slowly killing both your team and your business. You should care more about one of those than the other; which one is up to you. Drop the separate pillars and enter a world of getting one unified understanding of the one thing driving your business: production. With Honeycomb, you guess less and know more. Try it for free at honeycomb.io/screaminginthecloud. Observability: it's more than just hipster monitoring.Corey: So, tell me a little bit more about how it is that you folks think about yourselves in just in terms of the market space, for example. The idea of CIAM, customer IAM, it does feel viscerally different than traditional IAM in the context of, you know, AWS, which I use all the time, but I don't think I have the vocabulary to describe it without sounding like a buffoon. What is the definition between the two, please? Or the divergence, at least?Dan: Yeah, so I mean, not to go back to AWS services, but I'm sure a lot of your listeners are familiar with them. AWS SSO or the artist formerly known as AWS SSO is IAM, right? So, it's Workforce, right, and Workforce—Corey: And it was glorious, to the point where I felt like it was basically NDA'ed from other service teams because they couldn't talk about it. But this was so much nicer than having to juggle IAM keys and sessions that timeout after an hour in the console. “What do you doing in the console?” “I'm doing ClickOps, Jeremy. Leave me alone.”It's just I want to make sure that I'm talking about this the right way. It feels like AWS SSO—creature formerly known as—and traditional IAM feels like they're directionally the same thing as far as what they target, as far as customer bases, and what they empower you to do.Dan: Absolutely, absolutely. There are other players in that same market, right? And that's the market that grew up originally: it's for employees. So, employees have this very fixed lifecycle. They have complicated relationships with other employees and departments in organizations, you can tell them what to do, right, you can say you have to enroll your MFA key or you are no longer employed with us.Customers have a different set of requirements, and yet they're crucial to businesses because customers are, [laugh] who pay you money, right? And so, things that customers do that employees don't: they choose to register; they pick you, you don't pick them; they have a wide variety of devices and expectations; they also have a higher expectation of UX polish. Again, with an IAM solution, you can kind of dictate to your employees because you're paying them money. With a customer identity access management solution, it is part of your product, in the same way, you can't really dictate features unless you have something that the customer absolutely has to have and there are no substitutes for it, you have to adjust to the customer demands. CIAM is more responsive to those demands and is a smoother experience.The other thing I would say is CIAM, also, frankly, has a simpler model. Most customers have access to applications, maybe they have a couple of roles that you know, an admin role, an editor role, a viewer role if you're kind of a media conglomerate, for an example, but they don't have necessarily the thicket of complexity that you might have to have an eye on, so it's just simpler to model.Corey: Here's an area that feels like it's on the boundary between them. I distinctly remember being actively annoyed a while back that I had to roll my marketing person her own entire AWS IAM account solely so that she could upload assets into an S3 bucket that was driving some other stuff. It feels very much like that is a better use case for something that is a customer IAM solution. Because if I screw up those permissions even slightly, well, congratulations, now I've inadvertently given someone access to wind up, you know, taking production down. It feels like it is way too close to things that are going to leave a mark, whereas the idea of a customer authentication story for something like that is awesome.And no please if you're listening to this, don't email me with this thing you built and put on the Marketplace that “Oh, it uses signed URLs and whatnot to wind up automatically federating an identity just for this one per—” Yes. I don't want to build something ridiculous and overwrought so a single person can update assets within S3. I promise I don't want to do that. It just ends badly.Dan: Well, that was the promise of Cognito, right? And that is actually one of the reasons you should stick with Cognito if you have super-detailed requirements that are all about AWS and permissions to things inside AWS. Cognito has that tight integration. And I assume—I haven't looked at some of the other big cloud providers, but I assume that some of the other ones have that similar level of integration. So yeah, so that my answer there would be Cognito is the CIAM solution that AWS has, so that is what I would expect it to be able to handle, relatively smoothly.Corey: A question I have for you about the product itself is based on a frustration I originally had with Cognito, which is that once you're in there and you are using that for authentication and you have users, there's no way for me to get access to the credentials of my users. I can't really do an export in any traditional sense. Is that possible with FusionAuth?Dan: Absolutely. So, your data is your data. And because we're a self-hosted or SaaS solution, if you're running it self-hosted, obviously you have access to the password hashes in your database. If you are—Corey: The hashes, not the plaintext passwords to be explicitly clear on this. [laugh].Dan: Absolutely the hashes. And we have a number of guides that help you get hashes from other providers into ours. We have a written export guide ourselves, but it's in the database and the schema is public. You can go download our schema right now. And if—Corey: And I assume you've used an industry standard hashing algorithm for this?Dan: Yeah, we have a number of different options. You can bring your own actually, if you want, and we've had people bring their own options because they have either special needs or they have an older thing that's not as secure. And so, they still want their users to be able to log in, so they write a plugin and then they import the users' hashes, and then we transparently re-encrypt with a more modern one. The default for us is PDK.Corey: I assume you do the re-encryption at login time because there's no other way for you to get that.Dan: Exactly. Yeah yeah yeah—Corey: Yeah.Dan: —because that's the only time we see the password, right? Like we don't see it any other time. But we support Bcrypt and other modern algorithms. And it's entirely configurable; if you want to set a factor, which basically is how—Corey: I want to use MD5 because I'm still living in 2003.Dan: [laugh]. Please don't use MD5. Second takeaway: don't roll your own and don't use MD5. Yeah, so it's very tweakable, but we shipped with a secured default, basically.Corey: I just want to clarify as well why this is actively important. I don't think people quite understand that in many cases, picking an authentication provider is one of those lasting decisions where migrations take an awful lot of work. And they probably should. There should be no mechanism by which I can export the clear text passwords. If any authentication provider advertises or offers such a thing, don't use that one. I'm going to be very direct on that point.The downside to this is that if you are going to migrate from any other provider to any other provider, it has to happen either slowly as in, every time people log in, it'll check with the old system and then migrate that user to the new one, or you have to force password resets for your entire customer base. And the problem with that is I don't care what story you tell me. If I get an email from one of my vendors saying “You now have to reset your password because we're migrating to their auth thing,” or whatnot, there's no way around it, there's no messaging that solves this, people will think that you suffered a data breach that you are not disclosing. And that is a heavy, heavy lift. Another pattern I've seen is it for a period of three months or whatnot, depending on user base, you will wind up having the plug in there, and anyone who logs in after that point will, “Ohh you need to reset your password. And your password is expired. Click here to reset.” That tends to be a little bit better when it's not the proactive outreach announcement, but it's still a difficult lift and it adds—again—friction to the customer experience.Dan: Yep. And the third one—which you imply it—is you have access to your password hashes. They're hashed in a secure manner. And trust me, even though they're hashed securely, like, if you contact FusionAuth and say, “Hey, I want to move off FusionAuth,” we will arrange a way to get you your database in a secure manner, right? It's going to be encrypted, we're going to have a separate password that we communicate with you out-of-band because this is—even if it is hashed and salted and handled correctly, it's still very, very sensitive data because credentials are the keys to the kingdom.So, but those are the three options, right? The slow migration, which is operationally expensive, the requiring the user to reset their password, which is horribly expensive from a user interface perspective, right, and the customer service perspective, or export your password hashes. And we think that the third option is the least of the evils because guess what? It's your data, right? It's your user data. We will help you be careful with it, but you own it.Corey: I think that there's a lot of seriously important nuance to the whole world of authentication. And the fact that this is such a difficult area to even talk about with folks who are not deeply steeped in that ecosystem should be an indication alone that this is the sort of thing that you definitely want to outsource to a company that knows what the hell they're doing. And it's not like other areas of tech where you can basically stumble your way through something. It's like “Well, I'm going to write a Lambda to go ahead and post some nonsense on Twitter.” “Okay, are you good at programming?” “Not even slightly, but I am persistent and brute force is a viable strategy, so we're going to go with that one.” “Great. Okay, that's awesome.”But authentication is one of those areas where mistakes will show. The reputational impact of losing data goes from merely embarrassing to potentially life-ruining for folks. The most stressful job I've ever had from a data security position wasn't when I was dealing with money—because that's only money, which sounds like a weird thing to say—it was when I did a brief stint at Grindr where people weren't out. In some countries, users could have wound up in jail or have been killed if their sexuality became known. And that was the stuff that kept me up at night.Compared to that, “Okay, you got some credit card numbers with that. What the hell do I care about that, relatively speaking?” It's like, “Yeah, it's well, my credit card number was stolen.” “Yeah, but did you die, though?” “Oh, you had to make a phone call and reset some stuff.” And I'm not trivializing the importance of data security. Especially, like, if you're a bank, and you're listening to this, and you're terrified, yeah, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm just saying there are worse things.Dan: Sure. Yeah. I mean, I think that, unfortunately, the pandemic showed us that we're living more and more of our lives online. And the identity online and making sure that safe and secure is just critical. And again, not just for your employees, although that's really important, too, but more of your customer interactions are going to be taking place online because it's scalable, because it makes people money, because it allows for capabilities that weren't previously there, and you have to take that seriously. So, take care of your users' data. Please, please do that.Corey: And one of the best ways you can do that is by not touching the things that are commoditized in your effort to apply differentiation. That's why I will never again write my own auth system, with a couple of asterisks next to it because some of what I do is objectively horrifying, intentionally so. But if I care about the authentication piece, I have the good sense to pay someone else to do it for me.Dan: From personal experience, you mentioned at the beginning that we go back aways. I remember when I first discovered RDS, and I thought, “Oh, my God. I can outsource all this scut work, all of the database backups, all of the upgrades, all of the availability checking, right? Like, I can outsource this to somebody else who will take this off my plate.” And I was so thankful.And I don't—outside of, again, with some asterisks, right, there are places where I could consider running a database, but they're very few and far between—I feel like auth has entered that category. There are great providers like FusionAuth out there that are happy to take this off your plate and let you move forward. And in some ways, I'm not really sure which is more dangerous; like, not running a database properly or not running an auth system properly. They both give me shivers and I would hate to [laugh] hate to be forced to choose. But they're comparable levels of risk, so I a hundred percent agree, Corey.Corey: Dan, I really want to thank you for taking so much time to talk to me about your view of the world. If people want to learn more because you're not in their inboxes responding to newsletters every week, where's the best place to find you?Dan: Sure, you can find more about me at Twitter. I'm @mooreds, M-O-O-R-E-D-S. And you can learn more about FusionAuth and download it for free at fusionauth.io.Corey: And we will put links to all of that in the show notes.

The Porsche 911 has stuck mostly true to its origins over the years: sure, it's now turbocharged, larger and liquid-cooled, but it's still hanging the flat-six engine out of its rear and hasn't departed far from its familiar shape. Most importantly, the 992-generation Porsche 911 is still fun to drive. Adding to that fun, the Porsche 911 GTS adds squeezes some extra performance out of the 3.0-liter flat-six mill and sends 473 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels by way of a seven-speed manual transmission or Porsche's PDK. The extra oomph joins the 911 GTS's retuned suspension, 911 Turbo brakes and slight weight savings over a standard Carrera. If you want open-air fun, Porsche also offers its GTS in a cabriolet shell, which lets you enjoy the summer fun. In this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek's Mark Vaughn hops behind the wheel of the 2022 Porsche 911 GTS Cabriolet and puts it through its paces. Vaughn takes you on a guided tour of the '22 Porsche 911 GTS and highlights some of its features and quirks. Vaughn also takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to those segments, Vaughn joins host Wesley Wren in the studio to talk more about the 911 GTS Cabriolet. The pair talk about how the latest-generation Porsche 911 stacks up against its history, the performance specs of this 911 GTS and more. Closing the show, the two discuss what makes the 2022 Porsche 911 GTS Cabriolet special.

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注前几天，我在无意间看到兔子的办公桌上放着一把林肯的车钥匙，自从上次帕美GTS的事情之后，我就立马断定这车肯定不是他的，但是我就很好奇，这又是谁的车给他开了？难道又是发小的车？于是我就问他，你是又有个发小买林肯了？兔子看了我一眼，说不是发小买的，而是他爸的朋友新买了一台飞行家，两个父辈的人在一起吹牛，难免要聊聊新买的车，对方表示想做个车辆的整备，主要就是脚垫、玻璃膜、内饰透明膜、透明车衣之类的，兔子的爸爸一听，就说自己儿子有相关的资源，价格方面不用操心，于是回来就跟兔子说，让他帮忙弄一下，兔子想着父辈的关系，就答应了下来，所以今天就把车子开来，然后等下班就送到朋友的美容店去。我问兔子，这车是哪个版本的，兔子跟我说，是个四驱尊享版……我就很纳闷，因为实际上除了高高在上的行政版（68.98万）和总统版（75.98万）之外，剩下的三款车型中，四驱尊雅版是卖的比较好的，因为大多数买林肯的客户，他们对于配置要求远高于价格，说白了就是根本不差钱，就图个自我愉悦，但是这不代表高高在上的行政版和总统版卖的不好，要知道直到现在为止，行政版和总统版在有些地方依旧是“一车难求”。而54.98万的尊享版和59.98万的尊雅版，这两台车虽然价格差了5万块钱，但是多出的5万块钱能换来一套20寸轮毂、并线辅助、倒车车侧预警、可变悬架、手机无线充电、后排座椅通风加热、后排控制多媒体、Revel14喇叭音响系统、感应雨刷……这些都是能够保证车辆豪华度和舒适度的配置。我就很疑惑，为什么他去买了个尊享版？兔子说，他也问过他爸的朋友，人家的回答很耿直：用不上，感觉也不需要。兔子还跟我说，你别看是个尊享版，那配置已经很高啦！我嘲笑他是野马开多了，稍微给点配置就觉得香喷喷……聊了一会儿，我问他，这车现在行情怎么样，你爸爸的朋友大概花了多少钱？兔子说他自己都很惊讶，因为这车到现在都没啥优惠，基本上就是原价提车，他爸的朋友虽然没有加装潢，但是等了挺久。说实在的，我已经很久没有关注过林肯的市场了，怎么林肯一下子变的这么好卖了？而且价格还这么硬气，难道是要像雷克萨斯看齐？为此我还特地查了下，发现林肯在2020年一共卖了61761台车，我的天呐，这可是林肯啊，而且飞行家这车起售价就达到了50.98万，也就是说一个最低配的两驱版本，落地都要57万左右……所以，今天我们就来好好聊聊这台国产林肯飞行家。飞行家的亮点和槽点在开始聊飞行家之前，我一直想吐槽一个点，就是之前林肯的车辆命名，总让我觉得有种“错乱感”，比如之前的MKC、MKX、MKT都是SUV车型，但是MKZ和MKS又是两台轿车，就算按官方培训资料里的说法，“MK”是为了向他们的传奇车型MARK来致敬，但是不熟悉林肯的人，经常会对这些字母摸不着头脑，以至于我之前经常碰到类似这样的情况：A：你买了林肯的什么车？B：我买的MKZ。A：哦，是不是他们家那个SUV？B：不是，那个是MKC。A：……（脑袋发蒙）现在，林肯换了个命名方式，不用以前MK啥啥啥的，就给你来个中文名：冒险家、航海家、飞行家……相比于原来的MK后面跟个字母，现在的名字至少让很多人都清楚，林肯叫“XX家”的都是SUV车型。冒险家航海家飞行家领航员那么，林肯飞行家在目前林肯的SUV体系里是怎样的一个定位，依照现有的车型来看，它的等级仅次于百万级的林肯领航员，之前在2019年11月的时候纯进口版上市，那时候两款车型分别定价62.88万和68.88万，结果卖了没多久，到了2020年7月的时候，国产版就正式上市，进口版的飞行家也就逐渐暗淡了下来，反倒是国产版本的飞行家逐渐走进消费者的视野，毕竟对于一台搭载3.0T双涡轮增压发动机、车长超过5米的中大型豪华品牌SUV而言，50.98万的起售价就已经是最好的广告。关于飞行家这台车的豪华之处，我相信很多去看过车的朋友已经有所体会，但是我更关注的并不是它的内饰、空间或者品牌，而是那颗3.0T-V6双涡轮增压发动机，以及那套10R80变速箱。毕竟这是一台林肯，所以这台车做的也很“林肯”，该有的豪华配置一个不少，该有的内饰外观也都是一应俱全，所以不用去怀疑林肯在豪华车领域的积淀，至少在美式豪华的领域里，林肯是有发言权的。我们先聊一聊这个发动机，这颗3.0T-V6发动机其实本源是那颗福特2.7T-V6双涡轮增压发动机，我们可以简单理解成是一个强化升级扩缸的版本，而福特2.7T-V6发动机作为沃德十佳发动机，其本身325匹HP的动力输出和10.3：1的压缩比，让这款发动机的数据傲视群雄，国内的福特锐界EcoBoost-330版本用的就是这台机子。而林肯作为福特集团的高端品牌，这两颗发动机在保持架构一致的基础上，林肯针对这颗3.0T发动机进行了许多地方的改进，比如使用了紧密石墨铸铁材质的中缸+集成排气铝合金缸盖，从而在需要强度的地方进行强度上的增加，在不需要强度补足的地方进行减重，还有更耐高温的涡轮，并且针对、正时皮带部件、活塞和曲轴等部位都进行强化，同时工程师还给这颗发动机增加了额外的隔音降噪措施，比如复合材料制作的油底壳、凸轮轴罩和进气歧管，对横向外壳也做了很多修正……这些都是林肯针对这颗3.0T发动机做出的改进，用厂家工程师的话说，就是“这颗发动机能够让你在驾驶时，获得闲庭信步般的，不会吵到让人觉得过分的高性能表现”。说的简单一点，就是林肯这颗3.0T发动机本身底子就很牛X，并且通过工程师的调教让它变的更牛X，而且更符合豪华车的要求。说完了发动机，我们再聊聊变速箱，我相信很多朋友对于这个10R80的10AT变速箱已经很熟悉了，因为福特和林肯都在用，并且这个10R80变速箱本身就是福特制造，关于这个变速箱的由来，其实有个小故事，我们都知道AT变速箱一直是对整车厂极其重要的一部分，很多车厂其实都没有能力去自己做AT变速箱，主要原因是开发费用非常高、难度非常大，而福特虽然财大气粗，但是过日子终究是能省则省，于是福特想到了之前和自己一起做横置6AT变速箱的通用，鉴于先前的良好合作，两家车厂都撸起袖子加油干，开始了变速箱的研发，而且分工明确，通用主要负责9AT横置变速箱，福特主要负责10AT纵置变速箱，最后通用和福特两家共享研发成果，而我们之前聊过的换装10AT变速箱的凯迪拉克CT6，用的就是这个10R80变速箱。关于这个10R80具体的优势点和技术参数，我们今天不展开说了，毕竟什么“10AT三离合换挡执行机构”、“变速箱电液控制阀体”等等细节部件，再怎么去说也极其枯燥，综合来说一句话，这个10AT变速箱最大的优势点，就是能够提供更精确细密的齿比分布，从而找到一个完美符合发动机工况的挡位，并且换挡速度足够快（福特官方表示换挡速度堪比PDK），同时还可以适配插电式混合动力车型，所以为什么我们看到普通燃油版的飞行家在用这个变速箱，然后新能源版本的飞行家也在用这个变速箱。但是，林肯飞行家并不是说没有缺点，其本身的发动机和变速箱是优势，这一点毋庸置疑，可是有几个小问题，尤其是细节上的小问题，是我忍不住想吐槽的，而这也是林肯为什么一直没办法真正的去和BBA掰手腕的原因，说到底都是细节上的不足，但是这就跟我之前视频里说的凯迪拉克CT6那样，本来是一台很好的车，但是就是因为各种细节上的不足，导致让很多人失去了兴趣。第一，发动机声浪导入系统。目前就我已知的情况来看，这个模拟声浪是无法关闭的，能不能关掉暂且不提，关键是模拟出来的声音让我有一种“廉价感”，丝毫没有那种六缸机的厚重，各位去试驾的时候可以留意一下。第二，车机。由于采用了和国外不同的车机（海外是SYNC-3，国内是SYNC+），所以国产飞行家没有CARPLAY，这一点其实对于苹果手机用户挺不友好的，究其原因是因为国产版的车机系统，是长安福特和百度联合开发的……你们懂的，并且内置的网络SIM卡（运营商是中国联通）流量很贵，还不能换卡。第三，车道保持功能开启的时候，要很用力的抓住方向盘，而且在下雨天的时候由于路面反光，容易造成无法识别的情况。第四，车辆前排和二排竟然没有点烟器插口，只有220V电源口和USB插口，这可是一个豪华车啊，假如我需要后期加装行车记录仪，或者是USB充电器、车载吸尘器、轮胎充气泵……没有点烟器插口就会带来不便。第五，有人反映这台车出现车机花屏死机的情况，还有其他车主遇到了别的小问题。飞行家的对手们飞行家的竞争对手都有谁？我首先想到的是BBA的中大型SUV，也就是奔驰GLE、宝马X和奥迪Q7，而飞行家的长宽高分别是5080*2022*1759，轴距3025，块头比这三台BBA都要大。但是，首先在价位上，这几台车和飞行家就已经不在一个级别了，尤其是GLE和X5，GLE的SUV版本指导价69.98-88.98万，而且目前全系几乎没什么优惠，坚挺地平价销售；X5指导价69.99-86.39万，2.0T优惠最高也就小几万，3.0T没有优惠而且一车难求。如果你的预算与飞行家的高配相当，那么也只能买到GLE和X5的低配，也就是2.0T车型，如果你的预算足够上到飞行家的顶配，裸车75万左右，那么就可以摸到GLE和X5 3.0T车型的门槛。至于Q7，指导价68.88-83.88万，价位略低一点，优惠大了不少，大几万是有的，但仍然有着最低60几万的入手门槛，总体上还是比飞行家贵一些。而从产品角度，GLE的SUV版本有5座和7座可选，而X5只有5座，想要7座就只能咬牙去买X7，只有Q7是全系7座，如果有7座刚需，首先就得排除X5，如果特别在意后排的乘坐体验，那么这三款车可能都不是最好的选择，因为只有飞行家才有2-2-2的6座。所以严格来说，飞行家与BBA的中大型SUV还是有些区别的，不仅体现在价位上，同时还体现在产品上，但实际这几台车之间的交集还挺多，我认识的好几个飞行家车主，在购车时几乎都考虑过GLE、X5或者Q7，而最后之所以选择了飞行家，主要原因是BBA的价格实在太挺了。所以，飞行家从价格上来说，他都不想或者说没有办法和BBA正面硬刚的，而我认为飞行家最直接的竞争对手应该是沃尔沃XC90，别看XC90的官方指导价高达63.89万~77.99万，只要你进店看车找个销售问问，开口就是十来万的优惠，优惠完也就和飞行家的价格区间差不多了。飞行家和XC90怎么选？首先飞行家主打2-2-2的6座，但是可选7座，XC90主打2-3-2的7座，没有6座且只有最低配是5座。从这里就可以依据自己对座椅布局以及乘坐舒适性，做一个初步筛选了。其次，飞行家的内饰我觉得更加讨喜一点，尤其对于中年人来说，年轻人不喜欢的“老气”，在中年人眼里就是成熟稳重，并不是说XC90做得不好，但是那种北欧的冷淡风格，缺了一丝豪华感和温暖感，并不是所有人都喜欢的。飞行家6座飞行家7座配置方面，飞行家在舒适性配置方面要略高一筹，比如全系标配的多层玻璃和主动降噪，从次低配尊享版开始配备方向盘加热、方向盘电动调节和前排座椅通风，以及从中配尊雅版开始配备的后排座椅加热和通风，次顶配行政版和顶配总统版还有前排座椅按摩和电吸门……这些东西在XC90上面，要么是选配，要么就没有，比如方向盘加热和后排座椅加热是全系需要选配，前排座椅通风要到顶配智雅豪华版才有，前排座椅按摩和电吸门则是想都不要想，就两个字“没有”。但XC90也有自己独到的地方，比如安全配置，尤其是主动安全配置，全系标配自适应巡航还是挺厉害的，此外像什么主动刹车、车道保持、车道偏离预警、驾驶疲劳提示也是标配。当然飞行家也不差，从次低配尊享版开始也陆续补齐了，总体上飞行家的配置是非常高的，当然这也是美系车的特点，只要钱到位，给你弄满配，甭管有用、没用、想不想用、会不会用……都给你安排上，要的就是一个排面。动力方面，飞行家全系3.0T V6双涡轮+10AT（355HP、553Nm），除了入门版是个后驱车型外，其他都是适时四驱；XC90分2.0T单增压的B5车型（250HP/350Nm），和2.0T机械涡轮双增压的B6车型（300HP/400Nm），匹配的都是8AT变速箱，全系都有48V轻混系统和全时四驱系统。其实我们很难从三大件上评判这两车谁好谁坏，飞行家是粗犷的美式风格，排量要大，马力要大，扭矩要大……反正什么都要大，同时，飞行家也是50-60万价位里极少数可以买到搭载3.0T机头的中大型SUV，对于追求“动力存款”的人来说，还是相当有杀伤力的，毕竟动力就像存款，我可以不用，但是不能没有；相比之下，XC90的2.0T就显得更加“务实”一点，当然机械+涡轮的双增压方式放在今天显得非常另类，我印象中除了沃尔沃市面上也没有什么在售车型采用这种形式，动力比主流高功率2.0T高出很多，同时油耗比起飞行家的3.0T也要少小几个油，当然2.0T单增压的B5车型还是差了点意思，我是属于追求驾驶的人，我不追求特别亮眼的动力数据，但是大排量、多缸数带来的平顺性、从容感在小排量上是难以实现的，这种大车开起来就要有底气一些，所以，在这方面我会更加偏向飞行家一些。除了XC90之外，我们再来说说凯迪拉克的XT6，官方指导价38.97万~54.97万，我们本地的优惠幅度已经达到了7万多，勉强可以算是落地40万的车吧，有意思的是，在他们的美国老家，凯迪拉克XT6不仅定位和飞行家差不多，而且价格也差不多，只不过美国的XT6是3.6L自吸发动机，到了国内被换成了2.0T，再加上凯迪拉克在国内的价格一直都走的是“亲民路线”（其实凯迪拉克心里也苦），两车差价一下就被拉开了。所以，如果是对于价格比较敏感，同时又想有一个还算不错的品牌，那么凯迪拉克XT6从性价比上来看，肯定是强于飞行家的，不仅有6座/7座可选，而且有前驱也有四驱……但是，凯迪拉克现在的车都面临几个问题，首先就是我之前在视频里说的内饰问题，凯迪拉克现在不管是CT6还是XT6，这两台车的内饰真的太难跟“豪华”沾边了，再一个就是品牌力的问题，如果说一个豪华品牌的形象和给人的印象变成了“打骨折”和“性价比”，那这个所谓的“豪华”更多的还是厂家在宣传时的一厢情愿，当然，我还是希望凯迪拉克能坚持这个路数，毕竟这样我们消费者就能用一个合理的价格去买到合适的车，而不是捧着几十万却换回来一个1.33T的发动机。当然，现在XT6和飞行家在国内的价格差距确实很大，所以买XT6的一般不会去看飞行家，买飞行家的也不会去看XT6……而各位听到这里其实也明白，一台飞行家真正的价格应该是多少了吧？写在最后最后，借着这个机会也和各位聊一聊现在林肯国产化之后的布局。我们能很清楚的看到，目前林肯旗下的轿车线就感觉不是自己亲生的一样，在当年林肯大陆带着辉煌面世之后，轿车线就一天不如一天，也不知道是林肯心太大，还是已经放弃轿车线，反正林肯现在确实是在SUV车型上开始发力，先是在疫情刚刚稳定的2020年3月，就立马火速发布国产冒险家，接着在2020年7月发布国产飞行家，现在2021年1月18号又开始了全新的航海家预售，这也是一台介于紧凑型SUV冒险家和中大型SUV飞行家之间的一款中型SUV，预售的最低价定得并不高，只要33.08万，但是顶配48.58万的车型，使得同款车型之间的价格差距非常大，究其原因是因为有2.0T和2.7T两个版本。全新航海家现在航海家开启预售，林肯的海陆空就齐全了（冒险家代表“陆”，航海家代表“海”，飞行家代表“空”），再加上全尺寸SUV领航员作为精神象征，领导着海陆空三军一起攻打中国的豪华SUV市场……嗯，我只能说拭目以待。对于林肯来说，现在SUV系列的三剑客已经布局完成，马上会不会再去发力轿车线，我觉得是个未知数，不过对于我这种没有什么品牌追求的人来说，林肯给我的感觉一直就是精装修版的福特，而且扒开林肯的底裤，确实也就是精装修版的福特，冒险家就是精装修版锐际，航海家就是精装修版锐界（取消了7座），飞行家就是精装修版探险者（换成了3.0T发动机）。所以，我一直很不明白买林肯的意义在哪里，同样是美系豪华品牌，优惠又不像凯迪拉克那么大，而且林肯的车子依旧摆脱不掉美系车在细节处的各项短板，所以我只能说，选择林肯的，那都是真爱。*图片源自网络音频图文更新在订阅号：

本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注前几天，我在无意间看到兔子的办公桌上放着一把林肯的车钥匙，自从上次帕美GTS的事情之后，我就立马断定这车肯定不是他的，但是我就很好奇，这又是谁的车给他开了？难道又是发小的车？于是我就问他，你是又有个发小买林肯了？兔子看了我一眼，说不是发小买的，而是他爸的朋友新买了一台飞行家，两个父辈的人在一起吹牛，难免要聊聊新买的车，对方表示想做个车辆的整备，主要就是脚垫、玻璃膜、内饰透明膜、透明车衣之类的，兔子的爸爸一听，就说自己儿子有相关的资源，价格方面不用操心，于是回来就跟兔子说，让他帮忙弄一下，兔子想着父辈的关系，就答应了下来，所以今天就把车子开来，然后等下班就送到朋友的美容店去。我问兔子，这车是哪个版本的，兔子跟我说，是个四驱尊享版……我就很纳闷，因为实际上除了高高在上的行政版（68.98万）和总统版（75.98万）之外，剩下的三款车型中，四驱尊雅版是卖的比较好的，因为大多数买林肯的客户，他们对于配置要求远高于价格，说白了就是根本不差钱，就图个自我愉悦，但是这不代表高高在上的行政版和总统版卖的不好，要知道直到现在为止，行政版和总统版在有些地方依旧是“一车难求”。而54.98万的尊享版和59.98万的尊雅版，这两台车虽然价格差了5万块钱，但是多出的5万块钱能换来一套20寸轮毂、并线辅助、倒车车侧预警、可变悬架、手机无线充电、后排座椅通风加热、后排控制多媒体、Revel14喇叭音响系统、感应雨刷……这些都是能够保证车辆豪华度和舒适度的配置。我就很疑惑，为什么他去买了个尊享版？兔子说，他也问过他爸的朋友，人家的回答很耿直：用不上，感觉也不需要。兔子还跟我说，你别看是个尊享版，那配置已经很高啦！我嘲笑他是野马开多了，稍微给点配置就觉得香喷喷……聊了一会儿，我问他，这车现在行情怎么样，你爸爸的朋友大概花了多少钱？兔子说他自己都很惊讶，因为这车到现在都没啥优惠，基本上就是原价提车，他爸的朋友虽然没有加装潢，但是等了挺久。说实在的，我已经很久没有关注过林肯的市场了，怎么林肯一下子变的这么好卖了？而且价格还这么硬气，难道是要像雷克萨斯看齐？为此我还特地查了下，发现林肯在2020年一共卖了61761台车，我的天呐，这可是林肯啊，而且飞行家这车起售价就达到了50.98万，也就是说一个最低配的两驱版本，落地都要57万左右……所以，今天我们就来好好聊聊这台国产林肯飞行家。飞行家的亮点和槽点在开始聊飞行家之前，我一直想吐槽一个点，就是之前林肯的车辆命名，总让我觉得有种“错乱感”，比如之前的MKC、MKX、MKT都是SUV车型，但是MKZ和MKS又是两台轿车，就算按官方培训资料里的说法，“MK”是为了向他们的传奇车型MARK来致敬，但是不熟悉林肯的人，经常会对这些字母摸不着头脑，以至于我之前经常碰到类似这样的情况：A：你买了林肯的什么车？B：我买的MKZ。A：哦，是不是他们家那个SUV？B：不是，那个是MKC。A：……（脑袋发蒙）现在，林肯换了个命名方式，不用以前MK啥啥啥的，就给你来个中文名：冒险家、航海家、飞行家……相比于原来的MK后面跟个字母，现在的名字至少让很多人都清楚，林肯叫“XX家”的都是SUV车型。冒险家航海家飞行家领航员那么，林肯飞行家在目前林肯的SUV体系里是怎样的一个定位，依照现有的车型来看，它的等级仅次于百万级的林肯领航员，之前在2019年11月的时候纯进口版上市，那时候两款车型分别定价62.88万和68.88万，结果卖了没多久，到了2020年7月的时候，国产版就正式上市，进口版的飞行家也就逐渐暗淡了下来，反倒是国产版本的飞行家逐渐走进消费者的视野，毕竟对于一台搭载3.0T双涡轮增压发动机、车长超过5米的中大型豪华品牌SUV而言，50.98万的起售价就已经是最好的广告。关于飞行家这台车的豪华之处，我相信很多去看过车的朋友已经有所体会，但是我更关注的并不是它的内饰、空间或者品牌，而是那颗3.0T-V6双涡轮增压发动机，以及那套10R80变速箱。毕竟这是一台林肯，所以这台车做的也很“林肯”，该有的豪华配置一个不少，该有的内饰外观也都是一应俱全，所以不用去怀疑林肯在豪华车领域的积淀，至少在美式豪华的领域里，林肯是有发言权的。我们先聊一聊这个发动机，这颗3.0T-V6发动机其实本源是那颗福特2.7T-V6双涡轮增压发动机，我们可以简单理解成是一个强化升级扩缸的版本，而福特2.7T-V6发动机作为沃德十佳发动机，其本身325匹HP的动力输出和10.3：1的压缩比，让这款发动机的数据傲视群雄，国内的福特锐界EcoBoost-330版本用的就是这台机子。而林肯作为福特集团的高端品牌，这两颗发动机在保持架构一致的基础上，林肯针对这颗3.0T发动机进行了许多地方的改进，比如使用了紧密石墨铸铁材质的中缸+集成排气铝合金缸盖，从而在需要强度的地方进行强度上的增加，在不需要强度补足的地方进行减重，还有更耐高温的涡轮，并且针对、正时皮带部件、活塞和曲轴等部位都进行强化，同时工程师还给这颗发动机增加了额外的隔音降噪措施，比如复合材料制作的油底壳、凸轮轴罩和进气歧管，对横向外壳也做了很多修正……这些都是林肯针对这颗3.0T发动机做出的改进，用厂家工程师的话说，就是“这颗发动机能够让你在驾驶时，获得闲庭信步般的，不会吵到让人觉得过分的高性能表现”。说的简单一点，就是林肯这颗3.0T发动机本身底子就很牛X，并且通过工程师的调教让它变的更牛X，而且更符合豪华车的要求。说完了发动机，我们再聊聊变速箱，我相信很多朋友对于这个10R80的10AT变速箱已经很熟悉了，因为福特和林肯都在用，并且这个10R80变速箱本身就是福特制造，关于这个变速箱的由来，其实有个小故事，我们都知道AT变速箱一直是对整车厂极其重要的一部分，很多车厂其实都没有能力去自己做AT变速箱，主要原因是开发费用非常高、难度非常大，而福特虽然财大气粗，但是过日子终究是能省则省，于是福特想到了之前和自己一起做横置6AT变速箱的通用，鉴于先前的良好合作，两家车厂都撸起袖子加油干，开始了变速箱的研发，而且分工明确，通用主要负责9AT横置变速箱，福特主要负责10AT纵置变速箱，最后通用和福特两家共享研发成果，而我们之前聊过的换装10AT变速箱的凯迪拉克CT6，用的就是这个10R80变速箱。关于这个10R80具体的优势点和技术参数，我们今天不展开说了，毕竟什么“10AT三离合换挡执行机构”、“变速箱电液控制阀体”等等细节部件，再怎么去说也极其枯燥，综合来说一句话，这个10AT变速箱最大的优势点，就是能够提供更精确细密的齿比分布，从而找到一个完美符合发动机工况的挡位，并且换挡速度足够快（福特官方表示换挡速度堪比PDK），同时还可以适配插电式混合动力车型，所以为什么我们看到普通燃油版的飞行家在用这个变速箱，然后新能源版本的飞行家也在用这个变速箱。但是，林肯飞行家并不是说没有缺点，其本身的发动机和变速箱是优势，这一点毋庸置疑，可是有几个小问题，尤其是细节上的小问题，是我忍不住想吐槽的，而这也是林肯为什么一直没办法真正的去和BBA掰手腕的原因，说到底都是细节上的不足，但是这就跟我之前视频里说的凯迪拉克CT6那样，本来是一台很好的车，但是就是因为各种细节上的不足，导致让很多人失去了兴趣。第一，发动机声浪导入系统。目前就我已知的情况来看，这个模拟声浪是无法关闭的，能不能关掉暂且不提，关键是模拟出来的声音让我有一种“廉价感”，丝毫没有那种六缸机的厚重，各位去试驾的时候可以留意一下。第二，车机。由于采用了和国外不同的车机（海外是SYNC-3，国内是SYNC+），所以国产飞行家没有CARPLAY，这一点其实对于苹果手机用户挺不友好的，究其原因是因为国产版的车机系统，是长安福特和百度联合开发的……你们懂的，并且内置的网络SIM卡（运营商是中国联通）流量很贵，还不能换卡。第三，车道保持功能开启的时候，要很用力的抓住方向盘，而且在下雨天的时候由于路面反光，容易造成无法识别的情况。第四，车辆前排和二排竟然没有点烟器插口，只有220V电源口和USB插口，这可是一个豪华车啊，假如我需要后期加装行车记录仪，或者是USB充电器、车载吸尘器、轮胎充气泵……没有点烟器插口就会带来不便。第五，有人反映这台车出现车机花屏死机的情况，还有其他车主遇到了别的小问题。飞行家的对手们飞行家的竞争对手都有谁？我首先想到的是BBA的中大型SUV，也就是奔驰GLE、宝马X和奥迪Q7，而飞行家的长宽高分别是5080*2022*1759，轴距3025，块头比这三台BBA都要大。但是，首先在价位上，这几台车和飞行家就已经不在一个级别了，尤其是GLE和X5，GLE的SUV版本指导价69.98-88.98万，而且目前全系几乎没什么优惠，坚挺地平价销售；X5指导价69.99-86.39万，2.0T优惠最高也就小几万，3.0T没有优惠而且一车难求。如果你的预算与飞行家的高配相当，那么也只能买到GLE和X5的低配，也就是2.0T车型，如果你的预算足够上到飞行家的顶配，裸车75万左右，那么就可以摸到GLE和X5 3.0T车型的门槛。至于Q7，指导价68.88-83.88万，价位略低一点，优惠大了不少，大几万是有的，但仍然有着最低60几万的入手门槛，总体上还是比飞行家贵一些。而从产品角度，GLE的SUV版本有5座和7座可选，而X5只有5座，想要7座就只能咬牙去买X7，只有Q7是全系7座，如果有7座刚需，首先就得排除X5，如果特别在意后排的乘坐体验，那么这三款车可能都不是最好的选择，因为只有飞行家才有2-2-2的6座。所以严格来说，飞行家与BBA的中大型SUV还是有些区别的，不仅体现在价位上，同时还体现在产品上，但实际这几台车之间的交集还挺多，我认识的好几个飞行家车主，在购车时几乎都考虑过GLE、X5或者Q7，而最后之所以选择了飞行家，主要原因是BBA的价格实在太挺了。所以，飞行家从价格上来说，他都不想或者说没有办法和BBA正面硬刚的，而我认为飞行家最直接的竞争对手应该是沃尔沃XC90，别看XC90的官方指导价高达63.89万~77.99万，只要你进店看车找个销售问问，开口就是十来万的优惠，优惠完也就和飞行家的价格区间差不多了。飞行家和XC90怎么选？首先飞行家主打2-2-2的6座，但是可选7座，XC90主打2-3-2的7座，没有6座且只有最低配是5座。从这里就可以依据自己对座椅布局以及乘坐舒适性，做一个初步筛选了。其次，飞行家的内饰我觉得更加讨喜一点，尤其对于中年人来说，年轻人不喜欢的“老气”，在中年人眼里就是成熟稳重，并不是说XC90做得不好，但是那种北欧的冷淡风格，缺了一丝豪华感和温暖感，并不是所有人都喜欢的。飞行家6座飞行家7座配置方面，飞行家在舒适性配置方面要略高一筹，比如全系标配的多层玻璃和主动降噪，从次低配尊享版开始配备方向盘加热、方向盘电动调节和前排座椅通风，以及从中配尊雅版开始配备的后排座椅加热和通风，次顶配行政版和顶配总统版还有前排座椅按摩和电吸门……这些东西在XC90上面，要么是选配，要么就没有，比如方向盘加热和后排座椅加热是全系需要选配，前排座椅通风要到顶配智雅豪华版才有，前排座椅按摩和电吸门则是想都不要想，就两个字“没有”。但XC90也有自己独到的地方，比如安全配置，尤其是主动安全配置，全系标配自适应巡航还是挺厉害的，此外像什么主动刹车、车道保持、车道偏离预警、驾驶疲劳提示也是标配。当然飞行家也不差，从次低配尊享版开始也陆续补齐了，总体上飞行家的配置是非常高的，当然这也是美系车的特点，只要钱到位，给你弄满配，甭管有用、没用、想不想用、会不会用……都给你安排上，要的就是一个排面。动力方面，飞行家全系3.0T V6双涡轮+10AT（355HP、553Nm），除了入门版是个后驱车型外，其他都是适时四驱；XC90分2.0T单增压的B5车型（250HP/350Nm），和2.0T机械涡轮双增压的B6车型（300HP/400Nm），匹配的都是8AT变速箱，全系都有48V轻混系统和全时四驱系统。其实我们很难从三大件上评判这两车谁好谁坏，飞行家是粗犷的美式风格，排量要大，马力要大，扭矩要大……反正什么都要大，同时，飞行家也是50-60万价位里极少数可以买到搭载3.0T机头的中大型SUV，对于追求“动力存款”的人来说，还是相当有杀伤力的，毕竟动力就像存款，我可以不用，但是不能没有；相比之下，XC90的2.0T就显得更加“务实”一点，当然机械+涡轮的双增压方式放在今天显得非常另类，我印象中除了沃尔沃市面上也没有什么在售车型采用这种形式，动力比主流高功率2.0T高出很多，同时油耗比起飞行家的3.0T也要少小几个油，当然2.0T单增压的B5车型还是差了点意思，我是属于追求驾驶的人，我不追求特别亮眼的动力数据，但是大排量、多缸数带来的平顺性、从容感在小排量上是难以实现的，这种大车开起来就要有底气一些，所以，在这方面我会更加偏向飞行家一些。除了XC90之外，我们再来说说凯迪拉克的XT6，官方指导价38.97万~54.97万，我们本地的优惠幅度已经达到了7万多，勉强可以算是落地40万的车吧，有意思的是，在他们的美国老家，凯迪拉克XT6不仅定位和飞行家差不多，而且价格也差不多，只不过美国的XT6是3.6L自吸发动机，到了国内被换成了2.0T，再加上凯迪拉克在国内的价格一直都走的是“亲民路线”（其实凯迪拉克心里也苦），两车差价一下就被拉开了。所以，如果是对于价格比较敏感，同时又想有一个还算不错的品牌，那么凯迪拉克XT6从性价比上来看，肯定是强于飞行家的，不仅有6座/7座可选，而且有前驱也有四驱……但是，凯迪拉克现在的车都面临几个问题，首先就是我之前在视频里说的内饰问题，凯迪拉克现在不管是CT6还是XT6，这两台车的内饰真的太难跟“豪华”沾边了，再一个就是品牌力的问题，如果说一个豪华品牌的形象和给人的印象变成了“打骨折”和“性价比”，那这个所谓的“豪华”更多的还是厂家在宣传时的一厢情愿，当然，我还是希望凯迪拉克能坚持这个路数，毕竟这样我们消费者就能用一个合理的价格去买到合适的车，而不是捧着几十万却换回来一个1.33T的发动机。当然，现在XT6和飞行家在国内的价格差距确实很大，所以买XT6的一般不会去看飞行家，买飞行家的也不会去看XT6……而各位听到这里其实也明白，一台飞行家真正的价格应该是多少了吧？写在最后最后，借着这个机会也和各位聊一聊现在林肯国产化之后的布局。我们能很清楚的看到，目前林肯旗下的轿车线就感觉不是自己亲生的一样，在当年林肯大陆带着辉煌面世之后，轿车线就一天不如一天，也不知道是林肯心太大，还是已经放弃轿车线，反正林肯现在确实是在SUV车型上开始发力，先是在疫情刚刚稳定的2020年3月，就立马火速发布国产冒险家，接着在2020年7月发布国产飞行家，现在2021年1月18号又开始了全新的航海家预售，这也是一台介于紧凑型SUV冒险家和中大型SUV飞行家之间的一款中型SUV，预售的最低价定得并不高，只要33.08万，但是顶配48.58万的车型，使得同款车型之间的价格差距非常大，究其原因是因为有2.0T和2.7T两个版本。全新航海家现在航海家开启预售，林肯的海陆空就齐全了（冒险家代表“陆”，航海家代表“海”，飞行家代表“空”），再加上全尺寸SUV领航员作为精神象征，领导着海陆空三军一起攻打中国的豪华SUV市场……嗯，我只能说拭目以待。对于林肯来说，现在SUV系列的三剑客已经布局完成，马上会不会再去发力轿车线，我觉得是个未知数，不过对于我这种没有什么品牌追求的人来说，林肯给我的感觉一直就是精装修版的福特，而且扒开林肯的底裤，确实也就是精装修版的福特，冒险家就是精装修版锐际，航海家就是精装修版锐界（取消了7座），飞行家就是精装修版探险者（换成了3.0T发动机）。所以，我一直很不明白买林肯的意义在哪里，同样是美系豪华品牌，优惠又不像凯迪拉克那么大，而且林肯的车子依旧摆脱不掉美系车在细节处的各项短板，所以我只能说，选择林肯的，那都是真爱。*图片源自网络音频图文更新在订阅号：

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注！我的发小最近换车了，从之前的吉博力换成了Panamera GTS，至于为什么会跨度这么大，这里面其实有个小故事。2015年下旬，我的发小从国外留学回来，毕业归来之后，买车就成了他所面临的第一件事，其实以他家里的条件，买个超跑不算难事，甚至可以说是小菜一碟，但是家里面觉得开个超跑实在是太招摇，于是就给提出了限制条件：必须是四门车。于是，我的发小就开始屁颠颠的去看车。最开始去看了奥迪和宝马，但是家里觉得奥迪RS7档次有点低，宝马M6 Gran Coupe（四门）则是等车时间太久，于是就只能去看看奔驰，好在那会儿CLS还没有换代，并且店里有一台CLS63 AMG的现车，配置也是该有的都有，发小看的很喜欢，于是和销售打了个招呼，准备过两天带家里人来看看，想着让销售好好吹一吹这个车，完了价格到时候坐下来再谈一谈，差不多也就买了，销售很开心，我发小也很开心，一切准备就绪，只差临门一脚。过了两天，发小带着自己的妈妈去店里看车，做妈妈的当然是儿子喜欢什么，只要价格还行也就买了，而且CLS63这台车里里外外也是该有的都有，临交钱的时候，他妈妈也不知道是想到了什么，就问了销售一句：这车跑的快不快？销售小哥想都没想，直接很激动的回答：就这车，路上没几台能跑得过的，这车百公里加速只要3秒多！结果，销售小哥话还没说完，发小的妈妈就拉着我发小走了，回去还批评了我的发小，让他以后不能看这种跑这么快的车，慢慢开才更安全。销售小哥估计自己都没有想到，一句话直接把到手的生意给搅和黄了，这也让我的发小无法成为尊贵的梅赛德斯奔驰车主。无奈之下，发小也挑不出什么喜欢的车了，最后用90多万的落地价（含选配），买了一台2014款的吉博力，买这车的原因很简单，那会儿吉博力刚进入国内，在路上的能见度不高，而且玛莎拉蒂的牌子也不错、价格也合适，最主要的是能听个响。结果，车子拿到手的这5年里，这台能听个响的玛莎拉蒂小问题频发。先是天窗漏水，前前后后修了3次才修好，接着车机死机，又送回4S店调试，之后又出现刹车异响，只能更换全套刹车盘和刹车皮，最后出现了报机油故障灯的情况，基本上开个三四千公里，车辆就会提示缺少机油。没办法，发小决定换车，既然要换车，档次肯定要比吉博力高，加上这五年自己也挣了一些钱，普通的BBA（奔驰、宝马、奥迪）他已经认为不够档次，超跑则是家里依旧不让买，只能看看土豪们眼里的BBA（保时捷，宾利，阿斯顿马丁）。发小先是去看了看宾利，结果感觉飞驰太老气，而且车子太大不适合日常代步，欧陆是个双门车，家里绝对是不让买的。离开宾利的4S店，转头又奔向阿斯顿马丁，结果一看除了DBX是个SUV，其他都是跑车，无奈，只能告辞。最后，逛到了保时捷的4S店，看了一圈新款Panamera，感觉里里外外都不错，自己平时开也可以，出席一些商务活动也没啥问题，加上刚好有一台即将到港待售的Panamera GTS，于是经过短暂的纠结，就敲定了这台Panamera GTS版本，车子180.1万，加上选配一起197.64万，落地在230万左右。很多朋友可能会好奇，为什么这车的选配才17万多，不像保时捷的风格啊……其实是因为实在没东西选了，车子在出厂的时候几乎就已经是满配。离经叛道的Panamera其实，关于Panamera这台车的历史不算久，它真正意义上的第一台车，也只能追溯到2009年发布的、底盘代号为970的Panamera S和Panamera 4S。当然，如果你是保时捷的粉丝，你应该不会忘记保时捷当时在1977年推出的那台前置发动机+掀背尾门的三门猎装车“保时捷928”，以及保时捷在1988年推出的989概念车。不过，如果想把这两台车也加入到Panamera的车型历史里，始终会让人有一种强行提升历史积淀的感觉，而且大多数去买Panamera的人，其实并会不像911车主那样把历史代际和车型传承看的那么重，Panamera的客户群体其实更像卡宴的客户群体，他们的需求点更多在“一台能舒舒服服的、能坐4个甚至5个人的保时捷”上面，这也是为什么Panamera一经推出，就引起保时捷死忠粉们强烈反感的原因。因为，保时捷之前为了挣钱，已经推出了一个卡宴，保时捷的死忠粉认为，一个专注于赛事和性能的厂家，一个造出了911这种经典车型的厂家，怎么能做卡宴和Panamera这种车呢，这简直是离经叛道，简直就是不可饶恕的行为，相同的话语，还出现在后来的MACAN上面，而且骂的比这更难听，甚至有不少粉丝表示：这车肯定卖不好，保时捷吃枣药丸！结果，市场狠狠地教育了一下粉丝们，告诉他们时代已经变了。在2019年的时候，卡宴和MACAN已经成为保时捷实现全球销量大幅增长的主要推动力，其中卡宴的2019年全球交付量为92055辆，与2018年同期相比增长29％，而MACAN的2019全球新车交付量达到99944辆，与2018年同期相比增长16％，至于Panamera，虽然保时捷官方没有公布交付量，但是根据保时捷披露的信息，Panamera的市场份额约占16%，而保时捷2019年的全球交付量是280800辆，可以计算出Panamera在2019年一共卖出了大约4.5万台。这个4.5万台的数量很多吗？其实不多，但是对于一台新车落地基本上都是破百万的保时捷Panamera而言，这个销量简直就是惊人，并且这还不算之前保时捷卖出去的老款车型，以及在二手车市场不断流通的Panamera。关于Panamera的一些事儿其实回顾之前Panamera刚出来那会儿，在海外的销量并不是很好，尤其是2013年中期改款前的那一代，颜值和配置都不是很能打，甚至可以说唯一拿得出手的就是那个保时捷LOGO，并且很多车迷都吐槽那个臃肿的车屁股，和秀气的车头简直就是强行拼接在一起，但也有不少人觉得挺好看，所以审美真的是一件很神奇的事情。在经过2013年的小改款之后，Panamera的销量开始节节攀升，因为保时捷给Panamera臃肿的车屁股做了一次“抽脂手术”，让整台车看上去不再像刚出来的时候那么不协调，并且保时捷为PanameraS版本换装了3.0T V6发动机，让这台车的心脏在更有“大众味道”的同时，外形也更容易让大众接受。有意思的是，虽然Panamera在2016年就进行了换代，但是在我们国内所发售的2017款中，依旧能买到3.0T的Panamera，当时是2.9T、3.0T和4.0T同堂销售，所以在我看来，对于国内的消费者而言，只有从2019款这个不再有3.0T版本的Panamera，才真正意义上算是第二代Panamera。当然，如果你有兴趣去买一台二手的Panamera，那我更推荐你去买3.0T版本的，也就是2014款~2017款，至于之前刚开始发售的3.6L甚至是4.8L版本……算了吧，有时候大排量自吸发动机没有你想象的那么美好。保时捷给Panamera进行了换代，外观、内饰、配置都大变样，不仅科技配置大幅度提升，最为关键的就是换装了全新的心脏，也就是那颗2.9T和4.0T发动机，而4.0T的发动机只在GTS、TURBO S和TURBO S E-HYBRID版本上配备，属于小众中的小众车型，所以我们主要说说那个2.9T发动机。其实关注保时捷的朋友或多或少都了解过，这两台发动机其实在奥迪上也有搭载，只不过那颗2.9T发动机是奥迪主导的，4.0T的发动机却是保时捷主导的。其中，代号EA839的2.9T发动机在奥迪的RS4、RS5等车型上搭载，代号EA825的4.0T则是奥迪RS6、RS7等车用的那个发动机，在宾利上也有搭载，其实这一点作为熟悉大众的朋友都很容易理解，用相同的发动机做出不同的调教、配置甚至是升级，是大众系列车型的一贯作风，毕竟上到布加迪、宾利、兰博基尼，下到捷达、西雅特、斯柯达，这些品牌的顶头老板都是大众。当然，保时捷给到的调教和配置，与奥迪RS系列并不一样，并且还为自家车型用上了PDK变速箱，而在奥迪RS系列上面所搭载的则是采埃孚8AT变速箱，哪个变速箱更好，其实难分伯仲，只能说如果没有PDK的变速箱，似乎这台保时捷就显得不是那么纯粹，会给人一种挂羊头卖狗肉的感觉，这也是很多人吐槽MACAN的原因之一。所以，现款的Panamera为什么能卖的好，就显得顺理成章了。首先，这台车在经过改款之后，里里外外都发生了极大的变化，关键的动力系统有口皆碑，外观、内饰的颜值和辨识度也更高，加上车辆的品质和品牌相对而言算是对得起这个价格，还是一台带人比较舒服的保时捷（不仅有4座版本，还能选配5座），那么自然能吸引土豪们的目光。其次，保时捷现在把Panamera调教的可以说让你不像在开一台5米多的大车，那种驾驶时的轻盈感和转向时的精准感，是同级别其他车辆中无法比拟的，这一点你如果有机会开一下新款的Panamera，再对比一下7系和S级，你会理解我所说的意思。最后，也是最关键的，那就是保时捷在这个价位当中，在大型豪华四门轿车里难有对手，虽然宝马很希望用自家的7系/8系去对标，奔驰也想用S级和AMG GT系列去对标，但是终究会让人觉得差了点意思，要么不够运动，要么不够豪华，至于奥迪……算了吧，买保时捷的谁还会去看奥迪呢？Panamera的竞争对手准确来说，Panamera并没有什么直接的竞争对手，最近这两年更是难寻对手，放在前几年倒是有一个强劲的挑战者——玛莎拉蒂总裁。在前几年，总裁绝对是“豪车”的代表之一，但现在总裁在路上的能见度越来越低，渐渐的被所有人都淡忘了，一方面玛莎拉蒂的品牌在走下坡路，在调性上很容易让人想到“微商团队喜提玛莎拉蒂”；另一方面玛莎拉蒂的车型更新实在是太缓慢了，以至于极度缺乏竞争力，同时一个以跑车成名的品牌，竟然在很长一段时间内都没有一款跑车在售，现在就连吉博力和莱万特混得都不怎么样，更不用提价格更高、受众更窄的总裁了。好在玛莎拉蒂最近终于出了一款正儿八经的跑车了——MC20，希望这次可以重拾往日光彩，不然真就被保时捷越甩越远了。有点扯远了，Panamera对比总裁怎么选？我觉得目前来看几乎没有任何理由，能让消费者放弃Panamera去选总裁。首先，最主要的一点，Panamera一直在保持相对频繁的更新和换代，现款Panamera在2016年底上市，今年也已经完成了中期改款，替代原先3.0T的新款2.9T发动机，也让Panamera在技术上保持活力。而现款总裁是2013年上市的，中间也经历了过不太肉疼的小小改款，直到今年网上才曝光出了中期改款的谍照，据说还要等到2022年才会换代，也就是说7年的时间，总裁的外观、内饰乃至发动机都还是老一套。别的先不说，Panamera的消费者多是中青年群体，当他们打开总裁车门看到那老气的内饰，恐怕头也不回就走了，而中老年成功人士更加偏爱迈巴赫S级这种成熟稳重的正统豪华轿车，总裁对于他们来说还是有点过于运动了，尤其那躁动的小声浪，在他们听来只会觉得吵。还有非常影响选车的一点，那就是口碑。Panamera如今的销量和口碑都完胜总裁，这也导致Panamera的保值率一直高于总裁，卖车时也更容易找到下家接手，而且保时捷的故障率一直都不算高，反观玛莎拉蒂的车况，异响什么的都是小事，动不动拖修理厂耽误时间才是大事儿，这个购车级别的消费者，大多数都是事业有成的人，修车花钱无伤大雅，但是因为修车耽误了正事，那就难以接受。更重要的是，Panamera官方指导价97.3万起，而总裁的指导价直接飚到了141.18万起，目前Panamera卖的都是期货和订货，最入门2.9T低功率的标轴版本算上选配和加价，裸车价多在105-120万，而总裁现车几乎都是3.0T低功率的标准版，也就是全系最低配，加上一些选配优惠10万~12万后裸车在130万~140万之间。只要做一下对比，你就会发现总裁相比Panamera，可以说根本没有明显的优势，Panamera更新的外观、内饰设计和更高的科技化程度，也是总裁所没有的。除此以外，Panamera有着非常多样的版本（标轴、长轴、猎装、插混）和动力（2.9T高低功率、4.0T高低功率、4.0T插混）可供选择，再加上花样繁多的选配项目，只要你想，选配价超过车价一半真的很轻松。不同版本、动力和选配的价格跨度会非常大，但有钱人不怕花钱，就怕钱没地方花，不是么？你有100多万可以买到合适你的Panamera，有200多万也可以买到合适你的Panamera，如果换成总裁，你就没什么可以选的。当然，总裁已经成为过去式，至少在玛莎拉蒂推出新款高端行政车型之前，这台车会长期处于边缘状态，而目前唯一有潜力和Panamera竞争的车型，就是AMG的GT四门系列。说实话，GT四门系列与Panamera还不太一样，GT四门系列是AMG独立研发的车型，所以在本质上它更像是一款性能车，准确来说官方定位是高性能四门轿跑车，而Panamera更像是一台有运动属性的家用车，实际上还是属于豪华轿车的范畴，个人感觉Panamera只有GTS和Turbo S版本才算是性能车。所以，虽然同样都很运动，但奔驰GT四门系列是性能车+四门轿跑车，而Panamera则是一个跑的还挺快的豪华轿车。从价位和动力水平上看，GT四门系列中的GT50和Panamera的2.9T低功率版本在一个档，GT53和2.9T高功率S版本在一个档，GT63S和4.0T高功率Turbo S版本在一个档，至于我发小的那台GTS，在奔驰的GT四门系列里找不到直接的对手。理清楚这几点，Panamera和GT四门系列怎么选就很简单了。虽然动力水平差不多，但Panamera是可以舒舒服服驾驶和乘坐的，当然你想放纵一把的时候也可以满足你，反观奔驰的GT四门系列，由于调校更运动化、性能化，即使是最入门的GT50，在驾驶感和乘坐感上也会更加紧绷一些，最直观的表现是悬挂更硬、更颠。所以，当你想要一款非常有面子的豪华轿车来作为家用或者商用，那么Panamera是不错的选择，虽然相比S级、7系、A8L更偏向运动，但也不至于让后排的乘客眉头直皱，当你想要一台性能车当作大玩具，但家里人又不同意你去买什么双门跑车，那么GT四门系列确实是一个对外行人非常具有迷惑性的选项，毕竟车子看起来也够大，而且有四个门，更容易劝服家里人同意自己去买单。相比目前Panamera最低动辄105万~120万的裸车价，我个人觉得奔驰GT四门系列的性价比更高一些，最入门的GT50裸车90万左右就可以搞定，具体落地价得看加了多少配置，但是也别太担心，因为GT四门系列的选配都是按照选装包的形式来的，选配项目不会像保时捷那样多到丧心病狂，你需要考虑的，其实更多在于自己是不是真的忘不了保时捷的LOGO。写在最后对于一台价格轻松破百万的车而言，作为我这种只开过却买不起的人，也只能说是分享一下我对Panamera的感受。先说说2.9T版本的Panamera，我之前在和车主交流的时候，他跟我吐槽了几点问题，也是分享给各位：1.停车场倒车的时候，由于档位一直在1档，所以低速状态下会有一些顿挫感，但是车主也说了，那些吐槽跑起来会有顿挫感的，全是油门踩不过1/3的。2.原厂的真皮内饰虽然质感很棒，但是有点娇气，稍微刮一下就有痕迹。3.倒车影像的画质有些对不起车价，像素偏低，图像还有些变形。4.偶发性异响，他的车在副驾后面会有异响，别的车主也反应了其他位置，虽然声音不是很大，但总觉得怪怪的。5.安全带未系提醒会偶发性抽风，常见于副驾没有坐人的时候，白天的时候还好，如果是深更半夜的时候，有点吓人。至于Panamera GTS，最让我无力吐槽的就是那个ALCANTARA运动座椅，每次我坐进去的时候，一定要双手撑着靠背，然后双腿发力把自己撑起来，然后缓缓的把自己放进去。如果不这么做，ALCANTARA面料所拥有的极强的摩擦力，会把我宽松的工装裤蹭歪，弄的我很难受，以至于还得撑着座椅靠背，然后双腿发力起身，接着疯狂扭动屁股来调整裤子。很难受对吗？但是当我听到V8发动机启动时的咆哮，看到三段式尾翼缓缓升起，开在路上感受到源源不断的动力输出，听着身后传来的排气轰鸣……似乎上车时的这些难受，就显得有些微不足道了。所以，如果经济条件允许，还希望能带带人的话，Panamera确实是一个不错的选择。但是如果你并不想带人，只是想取悦自己的话，那就不要犹豫，展厅的Panamera边上，还停着一台911，这也是大多数爱车之人能想到的最好的归宿。音频图文更新在订阅号：
