    .............................................................
    If you’re in the market for an imposing & powerful electric car, it doesn’t get much better than these two - the Audi RS e-tron GT & the Porsche Taycan Turbo!
    You see, under the skin, they’re effectively the same car. But the question is, which should you choose? Well Mat’s here to help you decide!
    Let’s start with the Audi. Powered by two electric motors (one at the front, one at the back) and combined they can produce 598hp. However, the e-tron GT also comes with a boost function, which for 2.5 seconds will deliver 646hp! Not only that, but Audi claim it can hit 60mph in just 3.3 seconds.
    Pretty impressive, right? Well the Taycan Turbo can easily match it! It also comes equipped with two electric motors, which combine to deliver 687hp when you launch it! It’s also claimed to be able to hit 60mph in just 3.2 seconds - so it’s slightly quicker & more powerful than the e-tron!
    But is that enough to sway your decision towards the Porsche over the Audi? It's time to find out!

    Having had an EV (Jaguar I-pace) for about 2 years, let me tell you how sporty EV's are mostly driven: even though the range says 225-240 miles, you'll not get that unless you get stuck in freeway traffic going along at 10-20mph with no A/C or heat going. Once you get up to about 60mph, turn on the A/C or hit any hills....your range will start to drop. For the most part, you'll drive efficiently and preserve your range....but every now and then, you unleash the monster and have some fun. I'd say I drive like nice & clean about 98% of the time and just open it up every now and then.
    Between these 2 cars, I'd buy the Porsche because it's the real-deal badass name and may carry better resale. If you're gonna go big, hit it hard and do it right. As for popping for the upper echelon model and getting all the options....it's fun to have the flagship and never feel outdone but it's hardly worth the cost in terms of practicality. Trust me, the Jag is damn fast enough for anyone....when you're doing 90mph it feels like 60mph and when I let friends drive it I constantly have to point out how fast they're going without realizing it. As for acceleration, it'll pin you to the seat plenty fine. No, it's not a Plaid Tesla but the honest difference in speed is paper impressive but real world marginal.
    The bigger problem is that there's gonna be some INCREDIBLE stuff coming down the line in a couple years so is blowing big coin on today's tech really the smart move? I mean, heck, if Ford EV's the new Bronco I'd jump on that and wait for a legit 2-door sport car that'll smoke the Taycan cause at the end of the day it's still a big-ass 4-seater SEDAN/HATCHBACK/CROSSOVER and not a real hardcore legit sports car....things to think about but a GREAT problem to have!

    I'd personally take the Taycan based on the looks (the thing I can compare from outside).
    Driven the Taycan 4S and was mesmerized by the performance and steering feel, but have to try out the eTron. Doubt it will better the Taycan's experience though
    I rarely see well spec'd Taycans for my taste however, I feel like the Audi is easier to get it right w/o splashing so much cash on extras

    Both seem like great cars. There are two main differences for me. The Audi's interior- Simple and familiar. Also, the Taycan is very similar looking to other Porsche's, the Audi is unique in it's styling all to itself. I guess one can't go wrong with either if you want to spend the money on either of these vehicles.

      @BatehamRadio 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@aluttestephen682 I got the RS Etron GT. Love it. It's a very smooth and comfortable car in comfort mode and extremely fast in dynamic.
      Definitely gets a lot more attention than I thought it would. I got the car in Daytona Grey, so I was assuming it would just blend in with other cars in traffic/parking lots. But it was the opposite. Often you'll get people taking pictures/videos of the car while on the road, red lights, parking, etc.
      The interior is more classy, but not as "showy" compared to other EV cars at this price range. The Taycan or EQS have a lot more "spaceship" type interior with all the extra screens. EQS has crazy ambient lighting and such, while the E-Tron is relatively, a bit boring. It's nearly the same interior as the new A3s. Just doesn't match the 160k USD cost. But some people do prefer having buttons over extra screens.
      The car doesn't have much range either. The car has a limit to only charge up to 80% (Which is an adjustable setting). On 100% full charge, the car gets 250 miles (400km), which really isn't much compared to a lot of the new EV's now-a-days. I use the car for daily commutes, so I find myself charging it at home quite frequently. This isn't a problem for me, but I can imagine it being a problem for others.
      Mine came with the Carbon Fiber roof, so I don't have the Glass roof. The Carbon Fiber roof was cooler, but I much prefer the glass roof as it makes the car more "feel" more spacious. However, if you're ordering the car, you can get either roof's for the same price.
      These cars have massive ceramic brakes. So stopping feels great and the wheels won't accumulate much break dust either, making them look cleaner and shinier. I have the same wheels as the ones in this video and they definitely do stand out a lot in person.
      One other issue with this car is depreciation. I'd imagine it's the same for the Taycan. But my car's sticker was at 160k. 1 year later, the car dropped to 125k. Now it's at 109k.
      The car has a "fake" exterior and interior noise that's made while driving/de-accelerating. It's quite loud and sound different from other EVs. It's unique enough that it makes people turn their heads, but if you're a person that loves the sound of a gas engine, you'll definitely miss it.

    Mat do ICE performance cars feel lacklustre after driving an electric beast like these? Like i'm wondering, would an e63s for example feel a bit boring after instant sledgehammer torque of an electric motor

      If you have an ICE beast, you may not feel it lackluster. I have 2 Porsches. 911 and Cayenne turbo. Both go under 4S 0-60. Then I recently drove Lucid, Ioniq5 and Tesla S. Ioniq5 is a cheap EV car but anyway, there was no such a thing that could be called as "performance" in the car. Lucid was the dream edition and I honestly don't know how much better or worse that car is compared with standard version. I heard the car is around $150k. Very fast and it had the "sledgehammer" effect that you called. Was it more exciting? maybe. Tesla S also had similar launching experience. Both were driven under performance mode ( I forgot what the modes were called in those cars). The launching experience in those 2 EV cars was fantastic in that they didn't make any sound yet went super fast. They were horrible in that they didn't make any sound. They were also horrible in that I had to change up things before having that exhilaration. In ICE, you just step on the gas and you will have it. I don't like launching too fast in my 911 all the time as the exhaust can be too loud. Sometimes I love it when it doesn't bother people. Sometimes I like accelerating fast in my Cayenne turbo more than I do in 911 because Cayenne is much quieter. For some time, I regretted I got Turbo instead of GTS (much louder) but now I like my choice because you just can't always make loud noises everywhere. Well I least I don't. Honestly, despite the fact I have a car that can be loud, I hate those douches that straight pipe their cars and make horribly loud exhaust notes everywhere. So in that regard, my experience in those 2 EV cars was fantastic but the "sledgehammer" you talked about can be felt in a different way in ICE cars as long as you have a comparable car.

    Hello Matt. Loved the bit with you trying to climb out of the "front". When you said you were a bit stiff, you should have quickly said: "back to Jennifer Laurence" (as per your earlier comparison). Anyway, just a quick question. I'm sure it's already been asked, but why does Porsche call it a Turbo? Is there a turbo built in ?. I'm confused.
