Review written on 1/1951.
The new Inland Taipan looks to put Philadelphia Motors on the map against rivals in the Sports segment. This new Sports has some intriguing features, but is it enough to push the Inland Taipan to the top of your buying list above everyone else? Or is it such a lemon that it should be forgotten much like the Leviathan? Let's take a look at the details in this month's Vehicle Review!
On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Inland Taipan suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Sports. The Inland Taipan's 788 hp @ 5376RPMs 11209 cc V16 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 3.986s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 196 mph. The Inland Taipan is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 196 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 616 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 21596 lbs! Do you remember those tea cup rides as a kid? Well the Philadelphia Motors Inland Taipan is like that, but faster. Literally this Sports can turn on a dime. She's that good. There was nothing we could throw at it to slow it down. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Sports I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!
The Philadelphia Motors Inland Taipan's interior is well designed. The seats have enough support to get you over a long trip, and the material qualities, while not amazing, are more than adequate. Many optional features in other vehicles are standard here. This leads to an overall nice experience inside the Inland Taipan.
Above average to good is what a friend of mine said when trying to load some junk into the 29 cu-ft of space inside the Philadelphia Motors Inland Taipan. He was right! The Inland Taipan is above average for vehicles in this segment. It is one of the more practical vehicles of this type on the market.
The workmanship put into the Philadelphia Motors Inland Taipan is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Inland Taipan is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Philadelphia Motors has perfected the perfect.
The Philadelphia Motors Inland Taipan is not exactly dependable. It won't last a million miles, but it will get you down the road. Do expect a few issues over the lifetime of the vehicle. But most are fixable.
Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Philadelphia Motors Inland Taipan sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Inland Taipan gets an abysmal 10.8 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.
While the Philadelphia Motors Inland Taipan is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.
I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Inland Taipan. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Sports you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Inland Taipan but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
