Performance and Handling of the Porsche Taycan: A Comprehensive Review
The Porsche Taycan is a force to be reckoned with in the world of electric vehicles. With impressive power and acceleration, this car is sure to turn heads on the road. We had the opportunity to test out the various models of the Taycan, from the entry-level version to the Turbo and Turbo S derivatives, and we were blown away by the performance of each one.
Even the base model of the Taycan packs a punch with 429bhp and a 0-62mph time of 4.8 seconds. In our testing, we found that the rear-drive Taycan with the Performance Battery Plus was able to shave off even more time from its acceleration, reaching a top speed of 146mph with ease. Surprisingly, despite having slightly less power than its predecessor, the base model proved to be even quicker, out-accelerating a BMW M6 up to 140mph.
The Turbo and Turbo S models of the Taycan take performance to the next level, with a push-to-pass button that provides an extra boost of power when needed. The accelerator pedal is perfectly calibrated, ensuring that you have full control over the car’s speed at all times. And with the option to customize the sound of the electric powertrain, you can truly tailor your driving experience to your liking.
In terms of drivability, the Taycan keeps things simple with no dedicated energy regeneration controls. The brake pedal has been improved from the previous model, offering better modulation and a more connected feel. And when it comes to stopping power, the Taycan delivers with impressive braking distances on dry tracks.
Overall, the Porsche Taycan is a true powerhouse in the world of electric vehicles. With its impressive performance, sleek design, and advanced technology, this car is sure to impress even the most discerning drivers. Whether you opt for the base model or the Turbo S, you can rest assured that you’ll be getting a top-of-the-line driving experience with the Porsche Taycan.
