2. Car of the week

My personal pick of the week!

2020 PORSCHE TAYCAN

Final bid: $73,500

The Taycan is Porsche's first all-electric production vehicle. The performance is phenomenal and the instant torque is completely addictive. The design is absolutely stunning. Beautiful and fast!
What I liked? Carbon fiber accents. Beautiful color combo and the dude taking the picture in a HAT! :)
