PORSCHE TAYCAN 4S & TURBO S REVIEW: LAUNCHED, SNOW-DRIFTED, RANGE AND TOILET TESTED!?

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan, despite being the brand's first all-electric offering, successfully embodies the Porsche spirit, as demonstrated in this comprehensive review conducted in the Arctic Circle. The reviewer highlights its impressive performance, noting the Turbo S's 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds and the 4S's brisk acceleration, even on icy surfaces. Real-world range testing for the 4S indicated just over 400 kilometers in cold conditions, a respectable figure considering the adverse environment. The Taycan excels in driving dynamics, offering a fun and engaging experience akin to a 911, with the ability to drift when stability control is deactivated. Interior quality and design are praised, feeling like a high-tech 911, though rear headroom is noted as a compromise due to the battery placement. Charging speeds are decent, with an 80% charge taking approximately 43 minutes in testing due to a cable limitation, though still faster than typical UK chargers. The exterior design is lauded as "pure art." The primary drawback identified is the Taycan's high price point, a characteristic expected of Porsche. Ultimately, the Taycan is deemed a "proper Porsche" that is fun, fast, and capable, even in extreme conditions.
