I’m sort of speechless. It’s everything I want out of a car in one package. Has that ever happened before, ever? Insanely perfect spec on paper - but as you all know we don’t drive on paper we drive on pavement! Looking forward to see if I’m still as pumped after driving this in a few weeks. What a car!! People, please buy this so we can have more wagons in our market 😬
I imagine the Cross is what i need more? SUV+steet racer in one? I am not familiar with the none Cross one. But seems that this can’t handle deep snow as well as Cross
I guess the benefit of having the turbo is that it can pressurize the electrons before they enter the electric motor. It's almost as good as having a Flux Capacitor.
I have a 82' fiat 128 and it has Particle Accelerator together with Sillica Superflow Modulator. It has been co2 neutral since 1999. Now,it sucks co2 released by EV drivers out of the atmosphere and turns it into enviromentaly friendly baseball bats.
5:42 And this is why we love Kyle :) Great interview in the latter part of the video as well - amazing that you can have these direct and informative discussions with senior people in companies like Porsche / VAG.
Add roof rails, opt for the leather interior, and call it a day. But man, that Cross Turismo Turbo S with "off road" package in Mamba Green looks absolutely gorgeous.
13:33 Kyle it is easy: Porsche sells to the segment where people have lots of money to spend on quality and features and price is only a tertiary concern.
Amazing! My dream car is still the Cross Turismo though. It can work well in the city, on the highway, on twisty country roads, and on the rough back roads getting to the summer cottage. Best of all worlds, in my opinion!
This is the car I would have ordered earlier this year had it been available. I have a Turbo sedan, and while I’ve had a few bumps in the road, from a driving experience perspective it blows away any of Teslas I’ve owned. Electrify America just needs to improve its footprint and reliability. This is where Tesla is still owning the market.
@@MrStian78 No. It is 100% correct. You are thinking of the overboost power only during launch control: RWD or 4: 469 hp 4S: 562 hp GTS: 590 hp Turbo: 670 hp Turbo S: 750 hp The information is available in plain text on their website.
Just bought a used red one. Fully equipped, Alcantara & red stitching, 6000 miles, exactly two years old. 60% off the MSRP. When you delay your purchase by two years, you can save an awful lot of money.
This is the Taycan for you without a doubt and should be the one you order. The Riven will be fine for your off-road aventures. You should be able to order one and get it in the next few years. 💯
Not sure if you have seen but yesterday Porsche extended the Sport Turismo option to all platforms not just GTS Just moved my order across from the Cross Turismo 4S to this as would prefer not to have the plastic cladding
Just received by build slot for cross turismo last week and then I saw the gts. I immediately contacted my sales representative and hopefully can change to the gts. This car is gorgeous!!!
great video! mamba green or carmine red? do the taycan's curves and haunches looks better in a metallic colour like mamba green or a non metallic colour like carmine red?
Kyle, Fantastic Review. Went to order the CT GTS and was advised I would be waiting a long time and I would be more likely to get a CT 4S allotment quicker. Which I ended up doing. Question - You mentioned in a previous video while in Wyoming, that the std glass in the CT you were driving was adequate compared to the extra cost noise limiting glass. I was also told the optional gas will not work with the Toll Readers attached to windshield. Your view?
I was worried, I have a CT4S about to lock, but I optioned the GTS like I had optioned the 4S and it was $169k. That's much much more than the 4S. In the past, the GTS is a performance bargain, but in this case a bunch of the performance options such as PCSB, PSTV+, etc are not included. The interior in the RaceTex (and its a LOT) is additional money. It's not cheap, and anyone can lower a CT with $200 lowering links.
I absolutely LOVE the looks of that car. Such an amazing bodystyle. If only it wasn't electric. I wish they would make that exact same car, with a gasoline V8 engine. I would buy one in a heartbeat then. If the only option is electric, they can keep it.
ikr...? unfortunately Tesla offering white interiors has created a DISCONNECT in human intelligence at how the color white (and most light interiors) SHOWS DIRT and is a pain in the ass to keep clean (nevermind adding dogs into the equation). shows you the power of Psychology and DENIAL. as if to illustrate my point a buddy recently got a deal on an up spec Toyota Highlander and it had a light tan leather interior. while it looked great no doubt when new, he got RID OF IT after only a year trading it for the new Hyundai Palisades with a DARK interior. even after only a year of ownership, the Toyota's driver side seat was showing noticeable dirt, and he was a very clean guy.
Congrats Kyle, the best Taycan reviewer !! the more serious and i really think so Only one question: when i look at my CT4 ( that i love so much) specs , i can read : WLTP combinée 22.4 kw/100 km The GTS Sport turismo spec is : 20.9 kw/100 km (with 20 " ...) What's happening? , Bakchich, or i missed something ?
They improved consumption in the lower speed areas as it seems. If yours is a 2022 model, it might have this as a shadow update (without official spec update) already. 🤔
@@abraxastulammo9940 Mine is a 2021 model , july build, with 20 "wheels. I don't know which soft is on board. Kyle said something about WM 6 software , in this video. For me the lower is17.6 kw/100km , average 20.2 per 3800 km, no max ...
I love that you just kinda glaze over the range. Doesnt even matter. This is the car. If i were a kid id go buy a poster for my wall. Might get a poster 'for my kid'.
Just getting lower to the ground is hardly an argument for the GTS over the XT. Just use the "lower" or "LOW" setting on the XT, and it slams to the ground on it's air suspension.. duh.
I'll admit I'm not a fan of wagons 🤷🏾♂️ I don't really get them. But this one really has me conflicted. I'm actually upset at how much I like it because now I can't decide between this and the sedan
This is the best electric car, it looks great its high tech its fast it has sporty yet luxury interior, it has the brand man others can learn how to make electric cars looks sexy.
Porsche guy said his build Taycan is the Turbo S sport Turismo. Europe has this car why not the US? 😩😩😩… I am considering ordering the GTS but I am praying the Turbo S will come to the States.
Loving Turismo, but tracking 90-100KWh? How to IDR w/~45KWh? Will some OEM please deliver a "driver's ed" car, with battery swapping. Leave half the inertia charging, in the pits.
funny i wasn't a big fan of the Taycan when first released, thought it looked too bland. now i think it looks FANTASTIC and if you think the Carmine Red looks good on video wait till you see one in real life.
@@evanmichael9745 definitely not "Guards" (not on my screen anyway). Guards indeed leans more towards a bright red/orangish hue while this is super dark red. I guess this is mixed with black and God knows what to get this color.
$130k is such a dumb amount of money for a car. You'd have to be making at least $200k in a cheap living situation to realistically be able to afford this thing. This is only slightly less expensive than I bought my entire ass house for in 2015.
You can save for it. I read long ago that a hair dresser worked hard and saved for a Ferrari F430. It really just depends on how much you value it. I am going to start saving for my Taycan Cross. Great value to me. You get both off-roader and road warrior in one car. ONE insurance. and you drive BOTH everyday
Well if you have a ton of money laying around a Sportsturismo GTS and a R1T with lots of gear looks great in front of your house. But if your budget is a little more restricted I would go with the GTS. The whole electric overlanding or overlanding at all is not my cup of tea, and the Rivian doesn’t look like a workhorse, is more the car for the chia-latte drinking people.
I’m sort of speechless. It’s everything I want out of a car in one package. Has that ever happened before, ever?

Get it

We need more wagons here!!! They have to be cool, so most will be over them.
THIS is awesome! Great job Kyle
I guess the benefit of having the turbo is that it can pressurize the electrons before they enter the electric motor. It's almost as good as having a Flux Capacitor.
I don’t understand. Can you please explain?
@@arshg9318 He's making a joke about the "turbo" name

No it’s better
it's for time travelers...
Great video and amazing car… I just got my Taycan Cross Turismo 4 weeks ago and now this?! Love the Sport Turismo!
Nice interview Kyle. I wouldn't mind seeing more interviews from other companies. Thanks for posting
5:42 And this is why we love Kyle :)

Add roof rails, opt for the leather interior, and call it a day.
But man, that Cross Turismo Turbo S with "off road" package in Mamba Green looks absolutely gorgeous.
Luckily for me the CT 4 looks the exact same ;-)
Why roof rails may I ask? I find them ugly..
@@Duncanated For the utility
Great review of the car and great talk with Taycan-chief. I just ordered CT4S in 🐍 green ❤
Being Audidriven, but not having the Avant option on the e-tron GT this Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is a dream come true 😍
The Porsche Sport Tourismo is everything I would want in a car. And the red color and those wheels 😍👍
Porsche staff seem so dope, you can tell they really love what they do
13:33 Kyle it is easy: Porsche sells to the segment where people have lots of money to spend on quality and features and price is only a tertiary concern.
If you can afford this, definitely choose this over a Rivian - not even a question
Rivian for my wife, and this for me 😎
This man! The rivian is a great car but the Porsche was made for you.
Amazing! My dream car is still the Cross Turismo though. It can work well in the city, on the highway, on twisty country roads, and on the rough back roads getting to the summer cottage. Best of all worlds, in my opinion!

Not for long, besides SuC is old and slow.
I’m torn because both the Cross Turismo and Sport Turismo look incredible

That car is so gorgeous I can't handle it. I need a 1:18 scale die cast model at least. 😅
I'm immediately in love with this car! 😍
Finally! An electric sports wagon! I hope Audi does the same thing with the RS E-Tron GT or makes a newer model all together
You have this awesome opportunity to interview the head of Porsche's Taycan development, and you barely let him speak!

Only if they could make a GTS Cross Turismo and colour match those wheel arches. That would be the perfect car.
Such a nice looking car.
Is the bike rack available on the GTS Sport Turismo?
Great review! To answer your question, I would get this, Porsche Sport Turismo. Then get a Ford Maverick.
The perfect car!

Torque vectoring is standard , not pass or rear acxle steering though
In Norway 4S and GTS are the same price if you spec them identical.
Got mine 2 days ago. New from JCT600. It’s quick….very.
Trying to get allocation after my 4S.
I absolutely LOVE the looks of that car. Such an amazing bodystyle. If only it wasn't electric. I wish they would make that exact same car, with a gasoline V8 engine. I would buy one in a heartbeat then. If the only option is electric, they can keep it.
Kyle,…Honestly, what’s the better ride/car… Model 3 performance the Taycan 4S?
Simply spectacular!
can we get state side?
All those cars look Guards Red?
When he said no racetex due to dogs I thought, hmm ok reasonable. Then he said white leather!
ikr...? unfortunately Tesla offering white interiors has created a DISCONNECT in human intelligence at how the color white (and most light interiors) SHOWS DIRT and is a pain in the ass to keep clean (nevermind adding dogs into the equation). shows you the power of Psychology and DENIAL. as if to illustrate my point a buddy recently got a deal on an up spec Toyota Highlander and it had a light tan leather interior. while it looked great no doubt when new, he got RID OF IT after only a year trading it for the new Hyundai Palisades with a DARK interior. even after only a year of ownership, the Toyota's driver side seat was showing noticeable dirt, and he was a very clean guy.

Sickest ev out
so torn between a 992 911 gts coupe and taycan gts turismo
I'd love to hear more about the electrochromatic glass roof...
It's a new PDLC technology. The BMW IX has something similar but without the switchable segments. And it will be expensive as hell.
Turismo Panamera or Taycan.. the best looking version!! .. and most practical.
Compare this with new Panamera GTS 4s Hybrid, with a 3.1 sec 0-60, taller and shorter, with rear steering drives like a 911!
I wish they would put a big V8 turbo on that taycan that would be sick!
It's called Panamera.

It's all great, but every dealer I called wants to charge me a markup... Ain't happening on a such expensive car.
and I even like the colour
