As tends to be the case with Porsche's driver-focused 'GTS' variants, Porsche has successfully applied a combination of options, styling updates, and performance goodies to their Taycan EV in a way that is hard to argue against. It's got gobs of power, but unlike the nearly $200,000 "Turbo S" version, stops just short of making you feel sick. It's got plenty of handling performance, but not so much that you have to sacrifice daily comfort. And it's, as of now, the only way to get the stunning "Turismo" wagon-style body without the "Cross" portion of the equation. This means a lower ride height and no body cladding, but all the good looks and interior practicality of the longer roofed hatchback. The Taycan GTS Sport Turismo may be out of our personal price point, but it's hard to argue against this being the best sport EV on sale today.

The Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is the Fast EV Wagon of Our Dreams - One Take
#porschetaycan
#taycanGTS
EV or not, one of the best looking and unique cars released in the past few years
LOL. The four door version looks OK, but this is just plain ugly.
yah, its not that bad looking but still think the e tron gt is the best looking car on the market right now. And for the same money as this porsche you can get over 600 hp and basically just as sporty with the RS version.
@@robmanueb. IRL it looks really good
@@js002003 starting to see some head to head better the Taycan and it's brother Audi, and the Audi hasn't faired well on the driving dynamics side. Suppose Audi calibrate their cars for different people tho
This will age as good as any Porsche design. Stunning in person. Gets me every time with momentary envy lol
Possibly the best electric daily ever.
Yes. More than the Plaid.
Unless you need to carry adults in the backseat
forget the plaid because porsche isn't competing with cars like these.
@@stryfe2000turbo no problem. The Taycan suits 4 6" men easily. The wagon even more so. I’ve done close to 60000kms in my 2020 4S+ now. It’s a beast of a car to do it all. 6 track days attended this year. Just drove 1600kms for the holidays through mountains in blizzard conditions.
@@Nord_Mann I'm not sure four 6" men could drive it even if they worked together! ;)
@@stryfe2000turbo I'd agree if you were talking about the sedan, but the other two body shapes are 4 adult sized
One of the best looking cars made in recent times, EV or otherwise.
Let’s face it, it’s no Tesla/SpaceX tech. The genius behind SpaceX, Elon Musk, invented tech that old world car makers can’t match for another 15 years.
@@chamade166 you've got to be kidding? The only thing Tesla has over this Taycan is self-driving technology. Most of the people watching TST want to drive themselves anyway, so I'll take the VASTLY better quality and driving dynamics of the Taycan over any Tesla. Stop kidding yourself. Oh, and yes I'm speaking with my wallet, my deposit has been placed on the Sport Turismo for a few weeks now.
@@chamade166 Tesla years must be like dog years, because Ford, Porsche, Lucid, and Rivian have already caught up and are building better EVs than Tesla.
@@chamade166 Take a seat.
@@chamade166 You know what Tesla can't do? They can't make a fundamentally good car using that tech. You know who can? "Old world" car makers, and they are.
I can already hear the Tesla fanboys: "The Model S Plaid will destroy it in a drag race and Elon is a dreamy genius that can do no wrong!"
yeah but this one comes with a whole steering wheel.
@@TheSmokingTire And with actual build quality.
Anti-Tesla fanboys seem to be more vocal. As usual, the backlash is more annoying than the cause.
@@liqslip I have yet to meet the thing that is more vocal than the Tesla cult.
But will it stop?
Always gets me how ridiculous those brake capliers look in comparison to the size of the wheels. Taycan is my favourite EV by far and i never thought i would say that as a petrolhead, but that is a dream EV right there, Porsche knocked it out the park with this car.
I'm a complete car junkie, I've got lots of cars, I've been driving a Turbo S for almost 2 years as a daily, hands down its a great drive, Rj in Oz
So, it’s technically called the Porsche Taycan Gran Turismo Sport Sport Turismo.
I do wonder when Audi will release the avant and allroad avant versions of the e-tron GT, seems a no brainer
As a petrol head this is the EV that gets me, yes the S Plaid can do it’s one trick but this is a package and a superior product for the driver imo.
Just stop it.. this isn’t even close to Tesla in anything. Fool
@@Johnny2Feathers 👍
@@Johnny2Feathers You're joking right?
I don't know if it's specifically because of the Taycans windshield shape or a new angle of the front Camera but really digging the front end view.
I think this is the best looking car on sale today. It looks like a concept in real life
Porsche is simply king 🤷🏽♂️
If I could afford it, this is the EV I would make my daily. Goldilocks for sure!
I mean this is just the classier decision. If you chose this over a plaid you’re doing something right
One of the best looking cars on sale today. I can’t afford it but I’m tempted to stretch into a base cross turismo. I can’t think of another sub 100k car (or even set of cars) that I’d rather have. Honestly the same goes for this car.
go balls deep richard
Hi Matt, how is the rear visibility? Does the hatchback create a significant "blind" spot similar to the latest Mazda 3 hatch where you really need your mirrors set just-right and can't rely on a rear glance? I super appreciate the space and thought given to cyclists in all your videos :)
Great stuff matt!
This is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for all the videos this year, Matt and Zack. Merry Christmas!
“Space Jetson noises” are actual recordings of the electric motors themselves. Close to pulling the trigger on one of these things as my first Porsche and first EV but the dealer has been less than helpful so far and the idea of giving them a bunch of money for a poor customer experience rubs me a bit wrong. Good tip on the side view mirror glass. Wish that the solid roof was an option as well.
Find another dealer and arrive with your preferred spec from the configurator and ask them to order it for you.
Sucks about the dealer experience. Saw it in person and I could totally get this as my first EV
Why is it that manufacturers offer no sunroof options in Europe so much more than here. I really don’t get that
Hi Matt, a couple of comments about power/braking etc. I do track my Taycan 4S, yes it's fine for track sessions, but of course you need to watch your battery levels.. that's the biggest limiting factor at this point for me. I have a few videos on my channel with it.
About the power, yes, this is where we're at - for drag races, sure, max power is king. For everything else, not so much. Since most of us spend our time on the streets, that's where you notice the benefits of the chassis and interior etc... Look, the GT3 is still 'only' around 500hp, but it's an amazing performance car! :)
Just saw a white one in person and this is one absolutely gorgous automobile, even the rear that I had found questionable, in the Sport Turismo version is as sexy as they get
Perfect daddy mobile goals! all the functionality without that much performance sacrifice
How many dream cars does Porsche make right now?
Why don't US get convex mirrors? Definitely an outdated law if you ask me
This gives me hope that the inevitable electric 911 won't be shit
oliver blume himself ruled out an electric 911, so rest assured.
Porsche has made it clear that an electric 911 will never happen.
No 911 after 2030. It’s getting killed off
@@Nord_Mannthat would never happen too, porsche is investing heavily on synthetic fuels.
That thing looks amazing. I don't even know why they make a non-wagon version.
Any plans to do a video on the Ioniq 5? I'm curious about a comparison to the Mach-E.
bc Americans are still afraid of the wagon
Ioniq5 is the better car. Not dynamically, but as a whole.
@@Nord_Mann what part about it is better
@@papa_pt all parts, except it’s dynamics wich is strictly comfort oriented whereas the Mustang is more driver focused, if you can say that about a family EV CUV. Most importantly the Ioniq5 has the same 800-Volt architecture which allows for lightning fast charging on par with the Taycan. Even the new Merc EQS falls short of the Hyundai in that regard. Fast charging is more essential than range when it comes to road-tripping an EV.
@@Nord_Mann wtf man I asked what part is better (800v is the same) , not these vague generalities about the platform. You really think "all parts" of the Hyundai are higher quality than the Porsche 🤔
I can't comprehend how good it looks. Such a stunner
*RS6 has left the chat* 😂😂😂
I've been looking forward to you driving this ... it's lovely and I'd love one but not sure I can justify spending twice as much as my M3 LR on this and here in the UK the public charging network at 200+ kw/h is woeful. Of course if Tesla continue to open up their network and with Ionity's new money ... that's that excuse gone :)
The German version is also with a glas roof available, but Porsche only registered the glas roof version in the USA. Every version needs a extreme costly certification and those versions wich by experinece will not sell good in the USA are not certifified. Porsche may be register other versions later, if the market asks for it in recent numbers.
Love the taycan prefer the sedan shape over the grand turismo. I think I prefer the turbo front facia over the GTS.
Of all the new supercar electrics the taycan is a personal favorite. My girls daily is a an audi etron cuv and its george jetson sound sound in acceleration. Audi etron lease was 2500 drive off 507 a month with audi care.
Not paying $4 a gallon isnt bad either. Recharge with a 50 amp 240 outlet is super quick in the garage.
Porsche out here tryna single-handedly change USA's perception of wagons and I AM HERE FOR IT
Pretty sure audi is offering wagons in the US too
This might be my dream electric car, very good looking.
Good points in the video. Teslas, especially the S plaid are basically 1 trick ponies. Sure you can go super fast in a straight line but they are definitely a lot cheaper inside, under-braked, don't handle nearly as well as the taycan or etron gt, dont look that good, and are extremely common... For me I would spend the extra money on a taycan turbo, gts or e tron gt and go a little slower in a straght line (but still basically faster than anything else out there) and have better handling, better interior quality, the looks, and the cool factor of owning a taycan or etron gt.
Dude this is sexy and fast with 5 seats (rear looks tight). If money were no object, I’d get one of these asap.
It just looks like the next generation Panamera. And I'm definitely not saying that's a bad thing. This thing is absolutely jaw dropping.
could you recommend some good ballpowder??? what do you use 🤔
I think this is the only EV that I truly find visually exciting. Too bad it costs so damn much.
I can't wait for "Just the Noise". Just joking. Cool car. Good video.
Great points Matt, and most importantly, it's a wagon. 👍
Awesome video Matt
The only electric car I’d ever buy, but I would want chalk grey
Love the Sport Turismo look! Great review. Thanks.
Porsche has been doing that elbow cutaway on 4 door B pillars for years
People, one last time: DON'T USE THE ZERO BLADE ON YOUR BITS. Final warning. 😆
Don’t tell me how to live my life 😂😂😂
First time wanting an ev. Very cool item. In 2026 when i buy a used one for like 45k i hope it holds up
Same. I bet denser batteries will exist by then and battery swaps will be the hot thing.
Can I predict that his will be awesome.
Back in 20
Edit, I'll take one.
This will be the greatest daily driver ever built, screenshot this.
Except when you want to go on long road trips and have to take in the extra hours for recharging 💀
@@rubbertoe. You can use the Tesla supercharging network to charge the Taycan... so not that big of an inconvenience, one lunch/coffee or a dump break and you're charged up.
It just needs a bit more range.
@@rubbertoe. are you doing "long road trips" daily?
I hate all glass roofs.
I can understand someone else's driving upsetting your stomach - but not your own!
Happy Holidays guys! Thanks for the great content !
The protruding black plastic bumper fascia looks terrible. One of the main reasons I went Panamera 972 GTS. Also the Taycan dash, especially the center console are bland. Even the 4s Taycan gets nauseating at times, something ICE cars don’t exhibit as easily.
Wonderful blades, amazing idea.
My dream EV, but why o why do these german car companies keep forcing sunroofs on us americans? I hate sunroofs. I want my car to shield me from the elements, not be a massive rolling greenhouse.
I absolutely love the shape of this car!
"a lovely November day"...*uploaded on December 23rd* 🤣🤣🤣
What's the real world range with spirited driving, a bit more on the aggressive side, but not "race pace?" I just am not interested in having to recharge every day.
Porsche say this can handle 30 minute track sessions?!?! Seriously?
Terrible spec… the red stitching and red belts will get old very quickly… but that’s ok.
A wagon has a D pillar. This does not. Everything else is probably just as wrong.
After 10 months finally got an allocation for next year build.
So this over a Cross Turismo Taycan Turbo S? This looks better than Cross Truismo but not as fast. Torn on which one order.
the only thing that tesla will be able to ever do is have a good range battery, porsche is a 10000x better EV
4 door. Yuck!! Gag me with a spoon.
Neeto! its fast and really cool but..no sound = I don't care ! even if it was inexpensive
My favorite Electric Car for sure. I just wonder how electric cars will depreciate. Imagine, how much will you get back in 6+ years for this? It’s probably like selling a 6 year old iPhone. (Unfortunately)
Kia EV6 GT, and send your kid to college.
Feels weird looking at the past through and no engine/muffler noise
Anyone know what road ths is? Looks like an amazing driving road
Why is it making engine sounds?
all you have to do is wait like 12 months and buy it for 50k less when the person sells it.
This video got more views than all cars go to heaven 3 💀💀
Do I want the aero kit with the flicks on the rear... Hmmmm
Absolute dream car !!
100 on the euro-spec mirror glass. It's completely necessary on the Model 3 IMO, as the mirrors are small, can't adjust far enough to the left, and the car has a huge blind spot. Took until late 2019 before they were available at auto wreckers online though. For older cars (my E70 X5) it can be eBay roulette trying to find one where the heating and dimming still work.
The standard flat US mirrors are a disaster. What's the value in a side mirror where all you see is 3/4 of the grille of the car in the lane over?
I can't take the absence of a SUNROOF. Too many great cars have fixed roofs. I just hate it...
I don't know any "great car", which doesn't have a sunroof, at least as an option.
The optional glas roof for the Taycan Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo models with its amazing electro-chromatic dimming tech is just awesome.
Why do automakers always put out the whole car before the rest of the features and options are available? So dumb
Hey Matt, are those Suncoast mirrors called Blind-Spot Aspherical Mirror SKU SKU992ASP? Thanks
All EVs should have a power lock option at 5% power intervals down to 30% minimum. The user should be able to adjust the amount of power. This is just a completely brainless common sense thing for these vehicles.
The fake downshift noises are pretty cool.
It’s got a 2-speed box. It actually downshifts around 80kph when in sport plus. In normal/Range Mode it stays in 2nd all the time unless kick down
In everyone's favourite game, the money-no-object 3-car garage, this would be my daily without question
Dream Daily, the Taycan makes me hopeful for amazing electrics. Porsche makes sure its got a soul
that's why it is called "soul. electrified.", add the gts ingredients and it gives you more of what you love.
Yep, this thing is epic. I don't think most of us enthusiasts will ever be able to give up a nice exhaust note and shiftable gears, but this would make an incredible daily.
Saw this at the LA Autoshow...what a sexy beast as you said!
I've got a Turbo S which I've had for almost 2 years, I'd trade it in a second for the wagon, but I like a fast Euro wagon, Rj in Oz
Thanks for the education on the Taycan!!!
Sport Turismo looks great but 2.4 tons is unacceptably heavy, no matter how well it disguises that weight.
seeing this and then thinking back to the C63 AMG 507 edition wagon 6.2L engine from 2014. Life is a trip
I'd love to grab one of these, but the fucking car market. Sadly, I don't think it would be possible to snag one reasonably till 2026.
I am in the same boat as you Matt if my daily was 6 figures the Taycan GTS and ETRON GT are the 2 I would pick between.
That first launch you did on the exterior shot looked like a fighter jet accelerating down a runway for takeoff.
I almost got nauseous watching you driving around these curves from inside the car.
What is the range of these?
no matter how much they dress it up I just cant emotionally buy into this. Brand attachment might hook younger people in but I think us older guys are wedded to an engine for emotion.
Looks. So. Good. ...if my in-my-dreams GTC4 Lusso was banned due to its power source I would turn to this GTS. Why not have one of each?! Thanks guys
Stick your ‘white goods’ Tesla, I’d take this any day of the week. What a machine 👍
Matt - Great video on the TGTS...whatta sled.
Also - a Big BUMP for the Beardscape!! I purchased the Blackout Beardscape (based on your original recommendation) once Brio established stock in Canada - LOVED IT - and then proceeded to buy it as a gift for my brother and stepdad!! Fantastic trimmer. Thank you for highlighting it.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to TST in 2022.
Hi i wanted to know if the spoiler go up and down
Never gonna enjoy quiet electric engines
👏👏👏 Outstanding presentation Sir
I'm not an EV fan, but this one sure gets me thinking "maybe". I run out of adjectives to describe this car.....
Taycan RWD video is still my favorite, maybe because it's the only trim I can afford.
The only EV I would actually buy with my own money and I'm priced out of it 🙄
