IS THE PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO S THE ELECTRIC CAR FOR ME TO BUY?

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan Turbo S is presented as a significant step into the electric future for Porsche, aiming to blend traditional Porsche driving dynamics with cutting-edge EV technology. The reviewer highlights its blistering performance, with 761 horsepower and 1,050 Nm of torque enabling a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 2.8 seconds, and a top speed of 260 km/h. The driving experience is described as "very Porsche," with excellent steering feel, incredible grip, and a remarkably flat dynamic performance, even on winter tires. The reviewer was particularly impressed by the car's ability to maintain composure and performance even at high speeds on the Autobahn, reaching up to 250 km/h. Positives include the seamless integration of technology, the intuitive infotainment system, and the surprisingly decent real-world range (around 300 miles in cold conditions despite aggressive driving). However, the reviewer notes the car's weight (around 2,300 kg) and the slightly awkward ingress/egress due to the B-pillar placement. The artificial sound generation in Sport+ mode is described as "strange." Ultimately, the Taycan Turbo S is seen as a luxurious, powerful daily driver that successfully translates the Porsche DNA into an electric package, impressing the reviewer more than expected, despite its high price point (over €200,000).
