Slightly off topic but Porsche came out with an EV and the top trim is called "Turbo S" which lines up with their other gas car naming.
Some people got upset because it doesn't have a turbocharger in it and felt it was wrong to use the word in the name.
Because of turbo buttons on PCs when i was growing up, turbo buttons on 3rd party console controllers, and many other experiences i always associated with just fast, not a specific car part.
- Shivatron 5y agoCritics of the Taycan Turbo badging usually make some argument about "Turbo" meaning the-model-that-has-turbocharger(s), but Porsche hasn't been consistent about that for some time. The iconic 911 Turbo is turbocharged, but since 2015 the regular non-Turbo 911 is as well. (Next we can discuss whether a "Mustang" is a kind of horse, a two-door sports car, a four-door electric crossover, or...)
