WELCOME TO THE NÜRBURGRING! OUR FIRST LAP IN THE PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO CROSS TURISMO

EV Channels Review

This video captures the first Nürburgring lap for the Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo, driven by Kyle, Tijmen, and Robin. The focus is on a "tourist lap" rather than outright speed, emphasizing a sighting lap experience. The reviewer highlights the Taycan's impressive handling and stability, particularly noting how well it manages its weight through corners and the effectiveness of its carbon ceramic brakes and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control. Despite not pushing the car to its limits, the Taycan comfortably keeps pace with other vehicles and demonstrates strong acceleration, especially on uphill sections. A key takeaway is the car's excellent thermal management, maintaining consistent battery temperatures even during spirited driving. The reviewer also touches on the Nürburgring's unique charging infrastructure challenges for EVs. Overall, the Taycan Cross Turismo is presented as a highly capable and fun, albeit heavy, electric vehicle for track use, even on a "tourist" lap.
