The one I drove was a plain Panamera 4. But the reason I dinged the car was not on power/acceleration. I actually don't care as much about straight-line performance as all cars are fast today. There are lots of tight-suspension powerful front engine luxury/sedan cars out there with pretty much...

I got a Panamera loaner during my Taycan’s software update. I had always wanted a panamera but never owned one. I had a full long weekend with it so had the opportunity to test it in detail. My impressions were surprisingly underwhelming, except for the interior quality/luxury feeling of...

Completely agree with this. X5 45e is our second car sitting next to taycan, and even though it is a different proposition i am amazed by the value it represents. Software, refibement powertrain and regen brake tuning, all amazingly well done. And they are priced very well in the US. When i...

He is just repeating what i just said. And my point was not that EVs can not be liked over a performance ICE. Of course there are many advantages to EV powertrain, instant torque being one. But you can enjoy instant torque on many EVs and benchmark power does not have to be “plaid”. But total...

I admire Tesla for how they revolutionized Automotive industry. But they also screwed up average people's perception in a very particular way. Now people calling a Taycan 4S an "underpowered" car, OMG. This alternative reality exists today only because of Tesla's existential play. Tesla had to...

Fair enough, although we don't have roundabouts in US, we have stop signs... ... well .... to be perfectly accurate, maybe we have a couple or two here and there, but then when you run into one once in a bluemoon, signaling is the least of your problems. Check this one out . My wife is from...

If the wheel is turned 90 degrees that means you already turned. Too late for a signal. Seriously i don’t remember ever turning the signal on while the wheel is already turned, probably because my hand naturally touches the indicator before the wheel has any angle on it if my intention is to signal.

The reason I said "just the a matter of software" is because the software needs to be optimized only once by a number of ex-OEM software engineers, and that exercise is repeatable (copy-pasted) for thousands of applications (as opposed to -say- modifying the crank-shaft of an ICE, which is hard...

There is already a ~350-400kg difference between a turbo S CT and a base rwd with PB only and suspension components seems to be pretty much the same except the GTS (I may be wrong but seemingly the case). But set that aside, at a minimum, even if you can go from PB+ set up to PB eliminating...

If it really happens by 2030...i was thkinging, won't there be an opportunity to retrofit first gen Taycans with the new solid state batteries, just when the original batteries are approaching their lifecycle? Nobody seems to be talking about this but don't you think this could be a BIG business...

Fake news. RWD PB+ AND 20 inch turbo aeros. That combo would have the highest range in the entire line-up.

I saw someone posted this top gear track time list today and it reminded me this whole “is taycan a sports car” debate…

They are over the legal speed limit in the US. But don't think they are "wild" (except for the first one). German Grandmas picking up their grand children routinely drive faster than everyone on the list except the #1.

Or maybe I am well aware of the nuances you are talking about but have a lot more fidelity in scaling the differences between vehicles, and providing a balanced view, instead of calling every single vehicle on earth "completely different cars" no matter how small or big the differences are. My...

Not sure why people take small differences out of proportion like this. Makes it confusing for new comers. "They are completely different cars" OMG what is this exaggeration. I never owned a 911 but experienced them, owned a Cayman for long years and now a Taycan. Yes Cayman was more nimble when...

So you are comparing a GT4 to Taycan to make your point (that somehow taycan is very distanced from other porsche line-up, which is not true). Do you think you a GT3 would feel similar to a regular 911? Why compare a GT car

hmm so a car that does not handle like a Porsche and does not have the same fit and finish of Porsche but offers more space, more comfortable over bumps and 25% cheaper. Does that sound familiar ??.....Nah.....I must be imagining..... looks these guys cracked the Porsche killer code finally. Damn.

Yes it is…

You guys picked my favorite colors on favorite models! Literally I kept going back and forth between building a frozen blue Taycan with light interior and an Aventurine green Panamera SC hybrid for weeks until i got nervous around the current supply chain environment and got a chalk taycan off...
