Great video. Haven't tried the Taycan but had the privilege of testing a GT Vorsprung. Astonishing machine and something I'll be thinking about in moving across to an EV from my B9 S4. Only issue is price, (understandable with supply and demand) and the semi-conductor shortage limiting new car supply, therefore keeping ex-demo residuals higher than I'd hoped (in some cases, at time of writing, over £12k more for the same spec car on their new car configurator in the UK), great if you already own one, not so good for those trying to get into that market...
A KIA just doesn't even compare to an Audi or Porsche... It's quick though! and it's even quicker than the more comparable Mach-E GT 😅 what a world we live in hehe.
My neighbour recently purchased an ETron (extra range battery). It looks brillian, but when I asked him would he recommend it to another person, he said NO. Really bad infrastructure in Ireland. Is it as bad in Britain?
I would have to go with the Audi, the interior and exterior are just great and considering it's a GT car I would like the ride better also. For some reason I can't get over the "crying eye" headlights of the Porsche. I would love is to see what VW does with a possible Lamborghini version of this car since they did a great job with the Uras, it looks pretty insane (in a good way!).
4:10 Just to put these two £80k (before extras) cars in perspective if their stats don't mean anything to you: Tesla Model 3 Performance: £60k (all inclusive), 352mi range on a 79kWh battery, 0-62 3.5s, 162mph top speed, plus a lot more cargo space roughly same supercharging speed 10-80% and with a higher combined (113 MPGe) efficiency compared to the Taycan 4S (77 MPGe) one also charges less often

@@kamalAli0203 Over 800k Model 3 owners might disagree with you. But no need to get defensive when it's not warranted. I merely tried to put those two car models in perspective, you were not being personally attacked.
Credibility 0 when saying "ultimate drag race" 19/07/2021 without model S Plaid. But when going for this price range, why not mention model S long range which beats both of these in a drag race, is cheaper and goes further. (cheaper if you spec the Audi and Porsche as close to what is standard in the Tesla.)
@@bryanduncan6178 It's not a cardboard cutout if it's being sold. Travel is a possibility, if you are claiming ultimate drag race, a car that is for sale should be mentioned. Different shows have gone to other countries to review cars that weren't for sale in the UK yet, so your point isn't valid. Also, the model 3 performance is faster and has a longer range for a lot less money, but is smaller and different interior. The only reason I didn't mention it, is because it's not 'ultimate drag race' material, same as these cars.
@@rogerstarkey5390 Rimac isn't for sale yet. Once it is for sale, it should be at least mentioned in a 'ultimate ev drag race' video. Either it's click-bait bs or it's intentional deception.
I can’t hardly believe you use those expensive machines as chairs as you sit on them with your riveted blue jeans. Have a little respect for the equipment you guys are professionals
It's not really, is it? Maybe the "ultimate low spec VAG EV "supercar" drag race" But there's another car coming to UK soon that will eat their lunch (With a "longer range")
Has this episode been overly sexualised between the two presenters or the two cars being presented I don’t know slightly confused. I’m more focused on the Audi a Tron somehow it’s more masculine than a Portia figure that out.
Audi did great interiors…. No so much these days. The Q4, for example, is awful inside and starting to look and feel like a Nissan with futuristic sharp edges. The Taycan interior is so much more luxurious. Mines coming soon.
Or buy a Tesla Model 3 Long Range at £48,490 plus a over air acceleration pack for £1,500 and you get a great car that can do 0_60mph in 3.7 sec, 360 miles and more efficient so less wpm plus a bigger boot. Sexy may be, but not as good as the half the price Tesla.
i mean duh ? if you are looking for biggest bang for buck you cant go wrong with a tesla. Then again these two never aims to be the best "bang" for your money. They are premium cars with premium interior and exterior trough and trough.
@@Parental92 I agree, I love the interior to some degree (back seat practicality gets in the way of love) and outside a great, but slow for a premium sports car! When figures are shared for a premium sports car you should be impressed. When a car 1/2 to 1/3 of the price offers better range, speed and practicality, ignoring the charging infrastructure and access to Netflix/Spotify etc. I really wish to love these cars but they are just not impressive, more pretty. A Model S Plaid which is closer to the price does 0_60 mph in 1.99 sec and does have a premium feel. So sure if pretty is what you want then fine. I will be aiming to take the Audi out for a test drive, but decided against the Porsche, just not for me.
yes you have some valid points in regards of Tesla, but dont forget that u can´t even compare the build quality, or that a Model 3 looks kinda dull compared to these two. And for the acceleration: Tesla is measuring 0-60mph times with a "rolling start" and you can only do it 2 or 3 times consecutive, and only after getting the battery on temperatur. These 2 on the other hand can do 0-60´s all day long! But i think Model 3 and these 2 arent competing in the same class´, nevertheless it´s good to have more and more options for everyones taste.
@@andrewjones3887 I think the fact that model 3 and s which are basically a saloon car can match or even run faster than premium sports car is making them more impressive. oh the 1.99 sec claim is rather debatable now (they did not count the starting sprint, its more like 5-60 mph). But i wont argue about 0.xx sec. Model s plaid is the fastest production car around. I find tycan really impressive, the sprint is already neck breaking and it handles like a porsche (which is extremely hard to do). The whole appeal of premium sports car are mostly in the refinement department. btw taycan actually has a lot longer range than the official claims. Its porcshe being porsche , they nerf the range knowing people will drive their cars hard.
@@robertfrey1105 Disagree on the statement on Tesla doing rolling start. Only the Plaid 1.99 states this. Others are from standing start and demonstrated to be faster, see videos to see. The mention of 2 or 3 times, again I disagree with. Yes with Launch mode on Performance but the M3LR with acceleration pack doing 3.7 sec to 0_60 mph is not with Launch mode and will work time after time. I have this configuration on my wife's car and I can confirm it is not 2 or 3 times, but obviously haven't tested all day. On the MS Plaid which is more comparable it will do 1.99 rolling start so about 2.1 sec 0_60 from standing start time after time, day after day. Porsche to get this type of acceleration requires purchase of 4S Turbo, at £139k which is £20K more than the Tesla MS Plaid, then adding options to get to feature comparable gets you to £147k a £29k difference. I get people like the car and I have test driven, but just think it is a good first attempt but not that impressive, and for know I will stay with my Teslas'. On the Taycan Facebook Forums there is a lot of noise around it going Dead and having numerous recalls and changing issues. Someone on teh site stated they have had 2 and they both bricked. So I will wait, till price and features plus charging network gets better.
Stop using 10 to 80% charging like that means something. I can charge my I Phone to 80% faster than that. You need to use distance per minute. How many miles/kilometers of charge can I get in a minute? How many in 10 minutes? Etc. This is what Tesla uses. The reason that Audi and Porsche don’t want you to use that is that it hides the relative inefficiency of their cars. You are helping them to do that.
If you reverse the colours of the cars and the presenters does it still have the same sexual drive I do ask you if a Portia was in a dull grey and the Aldi on bright red and the presenters were swapped our sexualised with this presentation be and in the world of marvels Multiverse of madness would it be fun to play with that concept.
Y and 3 don't compete with these two. It's the S they are trying to take out. Yeah, they don't have the range or the practicality of the S, but they look better, have a nicer interior, and oh yeah, the panels all line up properly.
@@seanholdom9739 ionic 5? dafuk is that? How can a car that has not been produced be better than cars that are on the road? The ioniq 5 will quickly sell 5000 units (due to hype), then slowly sell another 15000 over the next 3-4 years (making no money) before being discontinued, just like a dozen other EVs.
@@snakeeyes9246 lmao sorry, what? How bout the Taycan can't compete with the Model 3? Taycan has a transmission prone to failure, a battery pack that will only last 10 years or 300,000 miles, and an outdated interior you would find in a Honda. Tell you what, buy a Taycan get in it, and tell it to take you to the nearest McDonalds. I bet nothing happens. Piece of crap car.
I'm about to... for 10K less I get basically the same exact vehicle. But however considering the price I'm looking at a well optioned Taycan RWD (Base) with steel suspension versus the Audi e-Tron which is basically the Taycan 4S.
why should a Porsche the same as the Audi?? The Porsche looks miles better, drives better and has a more solid interior, not like the plastic in the Audi. I gladly pay 20k more for the Porsche.
You really can't in the case with these two. Both are sporty sedans, but the Porsche is definitely for the more track-focused and the Audi is the better car for luxury touring.

I have driven Taycan this week and it is probably best saloon car in the world. It has character and as every Porsche, it always wants to go fast 😎

Can I get a Taycan exterior with the Audi interior?
Exactly 👍🏼

To think that the KIA EV6 GT will be quicker than both of these cars and is under £60k!! Strange times indeed....
indeed, as strange as when there were cars like the mitsubishi evo, or the nissan gtr that were quicker than much more expensive sports cars
A KIA just doesn't even compare to an Audi or Porsche...
