TAYCAN TURBO VS TURBO S REVIEW - BETTER THAN A PORSCHE 911 TURBO S!

EV Channels Review

The Straight Pipes compare the 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo and Turbo S, concluding that while both are exceptionally fast and offer a thrilling driving experience, the Turbo model presents a more compelling value proposition for most buyers. The reviewers highlight that the performance difference, especially outside of launch control, is negligible, and both vehicles feel nearly identical in acceleration and handling. Key distinctions lie in cosmetic details like wheel options, accent materials (color-matched vs. carbon fiber), and the electronic vs. manual charging port doors. The Turbo S includes standard carbon-ceramic brakes and rear-axle steering, which the reviewers debate the necessity of for everyday driving, with one arguing for their safety benefit due to the car's extreme speed and the other suggesting the Turbo's steel brakes are sufficient. Interior features are largely identical, with minor color differences and a shared lack of Android Auto. Ultimately, both reviewers lean towards the Taycan Turbo over the Turbo S, and surprisingly, even over the 911 Turbo S, citing the Taycan's unique EV thrills, though they would still prefer a GT car over either Taycan variant.
