Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video review of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S:- It is the facelifted 2024 (or 2025 in America) version.
- Red interior is a bit striking.
- It has a new Porsche smell, and the blackout Porsche crests are cool.
- The "higher, faster, further" motto means higher charging capacity, increased speed by 0.6 sec, and a 35% range increase.
- It has a new rear motor design.
- It has improved suspension.
- An Active Ride feature levels the car in corners and raises it for easier entry.
- Charging can still be an issue.
- Has a blacked-out Porsche crest on the steering wheel and on the bonnet, which is pretty cool.
- I do prefer Alcantara or race tech because I find leather gets a bit hot.
- There are four driving modes which affect the motor and suspension settings: normal, sport, sport plus, and range.
- It’s possible to switch speed warnings off.
- The digital interface is well-designed.
- One dislike is that the driver has to press and hold a control on the door to close it, which is a bit too long.
- The original performance in the Turbo S was crazy, but the new model is about 150 horsepower more.
- Peak horsepower with Launch Control activated is now 952.
- Top speed reaches 162 mph.
- The 0-62 time is 2.4 seconds.
- Is like a spaceship, a jet fighter any cliche you want.
- Overall, the handling is good, and the car can thread in the middle of a highway.
- The review doesn’t like the headlight design, preferring the old shape which looked more modular.
- The reviewer also didn’t like soft-close doors because it takes too long, and prefers to just close it firmly.
- Has a good charging range and battery size.
- On a few occasions over white lines, the reviewer noticed, that it seems like it's doing something at the back end that he has not authorised and it is doing it by itself to stabilize the car.
- If you like those attributes and the performance and want the top model of the Porsche, the Turbo S is the perfect vehicle for you.
