After the i4 M50, this is my second favourite EV.
Most reviewers have preferred the lesser powered RWD edrive40 to the AWD m50. How about you?
@@brianbohnet1907 the awd M50 more of a rwd than AWD which is why I love it most. M50 vs E40 - difference day and night
You prefer the i4 m50 over the Taycan? If so wow that’s a huge compliment to bmw! I want to go test drive the i50
@@JohnSmith-me2wg not over, I said second because it’s double the price but yet similar 0-60 😂😂. If money wasn’t a problem definitely Taycan GTS lol
Porsche is so much better than bmw
The car that looks a million times better in motion than static. It was designed to constantly be in motion. Thanks for letting me be a part of this shoot Sam. Shout out Thomas for his great production work on this. Its definitely a great EV and a great Porsche. I'd get the Cayman before I get the Taycan though just to experience what Porsche was intended to be. Nudge nudge wink wink if you get a Cayman 😁Well done lads!
Great video. As a Taycan owner - you can change the upper limit of speed in Range mode, all the way to 150 km/h.
To do that, while being in the car menu on the central display, where you choose the driving modes, there is a “…” button on the bottom right corner of the screen - press it and you can configure the max speed of Range mode.
Cheers!
"Sweet Spot"? I see what you did there. TheStraightPipes would be proud. 👏 👏 👏
We tried so hard all day to not call it that, but its true. And a shout out to the local lads Yuri and Jakub doing it big on YT never hurts. We're all car fanatics.
Possibly one of the sexiest cars on the road.
Now this is something I would love to own EV or not
The Taycan is literally the only EV on the market that actually has character.
agreed
Am I trippin or is this taycan in magenta/hot pink. Asking because I absolutely love how it looks with the matte gray rims and accents. Absolute beauty.
It looks red to me
It’s Carmine Red, and looks a lot more red (and better) in person.
Awesome car. Nice review. Don‘t call it Porsch, though. It‘s a Porsche! 😎
Not very many of these on the used market. If it came out in 2022, that means leases haven’t ran out yet and financed cars still got years. I’ll probably stick with a loaded 4S.
Great review, Sam! Here are my thoughts after owning the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo (station wagon if you like) for one year. Before buying it I also tried all the main versions of the Taycan lineup. I also have a 911 991.2 4S cabriolet that I take to a track and drive both cars regularly back to back for comparison. IMO the Taycan does almost everything extremely well, even compared to a 911.
First, your two concerns:
1) Is it a good Porsche or a good EV? It feels the most Porsche (911) of all the Taycans. It is such a good EV that my closest comparison is actually an ICE, the Audi RS6 which is a beast. I would recommend people to try a 911 and especially a 718, they are closer to the original Porsche sports car feel.
2) The price: Yes it is very expensive, but IMO it makes up for it while behind the steering wheel.
Plus:
+ The GTS drives phenomenally well around curves and bends in Sport and Sport+ modes. It has the stiffest suspension of all Taycan models in those modes and feels the most 911y of the bunch.
+ Porsche typically always undersells and overdelivers on performance. It is very fast and I typically clock 0.3 or 0.4 sec faster than the stated 0-60 mph.
+ Build quality and feel is very good. I have had no problems even driving it in deep snow in minus 20 to hot summer days.
+ The dealership customer service and follow up is very good, if any questions or anything bothers you they help you right away. This is one of the reasons for the higher car prices of Porsche and other comparable brands.
+ The combination of practicality and performance is outstanding and rare among high performance cars.
+ Much cheaper to buy and own than a 911 due to electricity and state/federal subsidies.
Minus:
- The biggest drawback for the GTS and any EV is the weight. The laws of physics is evident compared to the 911 that weighs around 700 kg less. Still, the GTS hides it weight surprisingly well and handles better than the weight should indicate.
- Range should have been better, but I guess this is not a car designed for range and sensible driving, but performance and fun. I had a lot of range anxiety in the start, but now I just charge when I need to, it is quite quick due to 800V infrastructure in the car.
- It is quite expensive in Norway, currently at USD 200k fully equipped. Equipment is extremely expensive at Porsche and you typically add a lot of stuff you might not need, that also adds weight.
- The weight means you may burn through tires much faster than a lighter car, especially if you take it to a track.
Btw I will be trying the Lucid Air Dream edition this week for comparison, looking forward to it 🤩
Alcantara is Not Suede. Alcantara, I believe, is what's in that car. It's a Synthetic Material. Suede is a Natural Material - a type of leather. (Sorry if someone already mentioned this in the comments...)
Incredible specs ....waw deserve your fine presentation though👌
Thank you
All porsches have the heating steering button at the same place.......... -_-
Nice review, camera work has improved a lot!. Suede pants would help when driving that car.
However, did you know that the music is 3 times as loud as your voice? This is on a 5 speaker surround system (voice on center speaker).
Something going on with your phone, I have watched it 4 times, phone, TV and laptop definitely is perfect
@Sam CarLegion Not using a phone here but a home cinema with 5 speaker boxes (SVS prime tower with SONY 7.2 amp, two active SVS subwoofers), sorry to be not clear about that. Yes, on single or 2 speaker devices it sounds good, and you edited the video on a 2 speaker system as well I presume. But, if it is reproduced on a system with a center speaker, it will sound out of balance unless you switch to multi speaker stereo. I do not know how other channels do it on youtube, however, you might use a stereo mic to give it the professional sound your reviews deserve.
Take this as positive, in no way I'm negative about your reviews. Test it on a home cinema setup and you will hear (I must be one of few that use it... others might watch the 130USD/150CAD car review on a phone ;) ).
Edited to be a bit more clear.
Can't wait to see how this thing performs. Gotta say, tho, I expected it to be quicker than the stated times.
It is quicker than the stated time. A few vids it’s done 0-60 in 3.3
@@Ma77y_H That's the M50 not the Edrive 40.
@Kevin bond BMW claims 5.7. Most reviewers have gotten like 5.35 or so. Which is plenty reasonable.
I’m on about the taycan gts
Keep on losing myself I that Beard lol
the biggest easter egg for us in Germany is that the cheapest Taycan with 320 HP and without any options ( nearly naked ) cost $ 90k.
That’s cheap
@@SamCarLegion maybe for Porsche buyers?😂
Wonderful Porsche
Agreed
Suede is cool and all but will it surpass the test of time?
That’s a question I can’t answer 😂😂
Splurge for the Turbo S
13:12
🤔....wait, don't some 911s have seats in the back? Or at least shelves 😂
Well they aren’t 4 doors
@@SamCarLegion
They aren't? 😂
@@wbwayne8887 technically yep
I was back there struggling to keep quiet! Comfy back row gotta say. 10/10 would sit quietly there again.
Do a video with throttle house
I personally think the E-tron GT exterior is a little better, however the Taycan's interior is much better. On both, I wish the range was a little better. The performance/handling balance of both is spot on though.
Oouf yea the Audi cousin. The E-tron does look a bit more aggressive.
i mean thats cool but i want a EV thats fun to drive that the everyday person can afford
I mean, this isn’t that 😬
You might want to look at a different car maker for that. Porsche doesn’t really build any cars that a regular person can afford.
When you are more than 1m 75 cm you have a serieus problem ! Lucid Air on the other hand.....
I find it funny that Americans who say that they’re big guys starting from 182 cm (6 feet), I’m used to big guys starting from like 190 cm.
But have to say, nearly everything is made optimal for people around my height, just a bit under 175.
I am 1 m 93 long .
@@willemvandoesselare7959 taller than most, yet shorter than some. :) yet it’s not too hard to fit in cars yet. Except that Audi A1 backseat which barely fits the backseat.
I look a bit silly next to my taller friends, a few of which are over 2m. Next to your height people I just look the short person I am. :D
So much wrong information
You are just high stop smoking
@@SamCarLegion you d*mbass think that in sport plus you get full power all the time😂 stupid. You only get it in launch control and Sport plus activated. And if you are wondering the 590 bhp is only available for 2,5 seconds. I recommend to you to stop talking shit. First inform yourself and then do a review. It's funny because you can't even afford a taycan and that's why you are talking so much nonsense
ugh 😑
Overpriced for what u get
It’s a Porsche, of course they will be over priced. Paying more for a certain brand is not a new concept and not exclusive to Porsche.
