HIGH SPEED EV EFFICIENCY TEST WITH PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO ON THE GERMAN AUTOBAHN

EV Channels Review

This video details an impromptu high-speed efficiency test of the Porsche Taycan Turbo Sport Turismo on the German Autobahn. The reviewer, Kyle, aimed to discover the real-world efficiency when driving at maximum speeds, a scenario not typically tested. He found that while the Taycan Turbo Sport Turismo is not optimized for maximum efficiency due to its performance-oriented wheels and brakes, it still performed admirably under extreme conditions. Despite pushing the car between 240-270 kph for extended periods, interspersed with construction zones and traffic, the vehicle achieved an average efficiency of approximately 0.9 miles per kilowatt-hour. The reviewer noted the car's excellent thermal management, impressive handling at high speeds, and effective driver-assistance systems. While acknowledging that the sedan variant might offer slightly better aerodynamics, he concluded that the Taycan, even in its Sport Turismo form, is a capable and surprisingly efficient performer at high speeds, exceeding his initial pessimistic predictions.
