More like “we don’t care about emissions because we only make 20 cars per year.”
It makes no sense to get all up in arms about carbon emissions from sports cars. As a fraction of the market, even if you include more mainstream manufacturers like Porsche, they’re totally inconsequential.
But of course, if you are really just using carbon emissions as a way to preach and brag about your morally superior lifestyle and/or political positions, expensive sports cars are a great target.

- speedgoose 7y agoI'm sorry that you assume that I feel morally superior. I don't. You can enjoy your ICE sport car, it's okay.
- praptak 7y agoIt's a philosophical question. Is the rarity actually a good excuse? I'd say no. We should not burn carbon without serious need, as rarity or not. This particular case is more complicated though - they are developing technology which may be a net saver in CO2 emissions in which case it sorta pays for itself.

- avalys 7y agoWho determines what a serious need is? No ones needs a sports car. Or a 40” TV. Or to go golfing. Or Broadway shows. Movie theaters - for that matter, no one needs movies at all! Recreational international travel - totally unecesssary. Why does anyone need more than one house? A house larger than 2,000 square feet? Why does anyone need more than 2 kids?
