You can blame social media partly on this as any good forum would call this BS claim instantly. Saying you are making 828 wheel horsepower on pump gas on a stock internal W205 Mercedes-AMG M177 V8 is a very bold claim. To be fair, it's supported by a graph. What isn't fair is the part about a big shot of nitrous of helping: It is surprising Doug Sawyer or @DSawyer63 left the graph up as you can clearly see the sudden big bump on the graph itself. Various Mercedes-AMG tuners who have passed this on to BenzBoost clearly attribute the spike to nitrous. This would not be the first person to lie about nitrous for internet bragging rights. There are various records that were nitrous assisted where the tuner or vehicle owner flat out lied. Nobody was dumb enough to post the graph showing where their juice hit though. Is 828 whp from a stock internal M177 V8 with PTG turbos impressive? Yes. Is it being done with the turbos by themselves on pump gas? No. It seems someone needs a bit of a reality check...

In less than a decade almost every Porsche in the lineup will be fully electric. It is a major change and one enthusiasts will struggle with. Tuning your car likely will become a thing of the past as companies are stepping up encryption and doing trial runs for preventing tuning now. The idea of getting into your EV Porsche and telling it the destination while you relax and check out sports or news sounds nice but if Porsche meets their goal the driving experience is going to be increasingly dialed out of the equation. Porsche EV timeline: 0.2% by 2019 1,2% by 2020 6.8% by 2021 17.73% by 2022 31.2% by 2023 54.9% by 2024 78.74% by 2025 91.3% by 2026 99.9% by 2027 99.96% by 2028 99.9892% by 2029 100% by 2030 The Germans as a whole have a goal by 2030 to phase out the internal combustion motor. Does this mean you will not be allowed to drive your classic 911 at track days? Drag race it? Modify it? Who knows what the future holds but the Germans are betting big on electric cars. Source
