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.
