Hollywood Goes Green: First-Ever EV Car Chase Movie With "Tactical Gun Battle"

Fasten your seatbelts. 

From the rubber-burning thrills of "Bullitt" to Gene Hackman's "The French Connection" and the epic car chase involving three Mini Coopers, Jaguars, and a bus in "The Italian Job," these are some of the best car chase movies produced by un-woke Hollywood over the decades.

Now 'green' Hollywood has delivered the first-ever all-electric car chase scene, featuring a Taycan Turbo, which was produced for the new movie Den of Thieves 2, Porsche announced in a press release.

Director Christian Gudegast said of the final car chase scene of the movie, "I wanted it to be a vehicle-to-vehicle tactical gun battle—plus I wanted to have an electric car."

Porsche said, "For the first time ever in cinematic history, an all-electric car – the Taycan Turbo – was used as the hero vehicle in a car chase action sequence in Den of Thieves 2." 

The challenge with EVs is the lack of engine sounds and gear shifts.

Some questions: 

  • What sound effects will Hollywood turn to?

  • What happens when the battery runs out? 

Also, the movie is merely an ad for Porsche Taycans. Recall from earlier this week: Taycan demand has run out of juice
