Why are Singapore taxis such high-performance vehicles?

11STOMPer J wonders why taxi companies in Singapore provide cabbies with such powerful vehicles, as it seems to encourage them to drive recklessly.

The STOMPer commented:

"Nowadays, a lot of cab drivers are found speeding and driving recklessly on the roads.

"The question is why are cab companies purchasing such high-capacity vehicles to use within Singapore? 

"Why do Singapore cabs need to be so powerful?"

Big, comfy powerful cabs, complain! Old n slow cabs, complain! Get a freaking life stomper! U r just jealous tat u can't outrun a cab in ur pathetic car when u tried to.. Buy a bigger capacity car if u hav the abilities n stop complaining!!
N to the stomper who talk about the ah beng taxi drivers, I dare u do something. Get the ah beng taxi driver to park his cab aside first. Then u go face to face, one on one with him. Dun think cab drivers r afraid of u. Challenge him when it does not affects his rice bowl n see it's u or him peeing in pants!

My taxi driving relative told me many speed not because they want to make more trip, but because of the thrill of speeding. He said not many traffic police on the road, so it is quite safe to speed. Just have to watch out for speed camera.

I would say there might be some standards or environmental requirements set by the authority for our local taxi companies to meet. Old taxis may seen on the road currently but the fleet will eventually decrease. When the lease period expires.
