Is Your SUV Faster Than a Ferrari? Speed Has Become Absurd

Is your neighbour's family SUV actually faster than a 1990s Ferrari? We’ve entered a strange era where ordinary electric crossovers and family hatchbacks are out-dragging legendary supercars, raising an uncomfortable question: have modern cars become too fast for our public roads? In this video, I dive into the "democratisation of speed" and why the gap between vehicle performance and driver skill is becoming a genuine problem. From the silent, instant torque of EVs like the Tesla Model S Plaid and MG4 XPower to the software-managed "illusion of control" in modern performance cars, we're exploring why speed just doesn't feel the same anymore. Are we witnessing the end of the truly skilled driver? In this video: - The "Costco Cruiser" vs. The 90s Ferrari - Why our road infrastructure is stuck in the past - The psychological shift: Why silent speed is more dangerous - Is software saving us from ourselves? - Are we the last generation of "proper" drivers?
