Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review of the electric Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo GTS:- It is the Sport Turismo model that is being reviewed, sharing the same body shape of the Cross Turismo, but with no plastic cladding and a lower ride height.
- This model will eventually be available as a rear-wheel drive-only car.
- The car has an optional carbon sport design package.
- The lights on the car are black.
- The review car is equipped with 21s, but it is possible to mix and match alloys on Porsches.
- The GTS comes standard with steel brakes.
- Finger swipe is required to open the charger, with chargers available on both sides, and with rapid charging available on only one.
- Comes standard with a performance plus larger battery.
- Has a smoother roof compared to the cross-turismo, with no roof rails.
- It weighs over 2.3 tons, therefore adding carbon fiber options is viewed as an unneccesary weight addition.
- The reviewer thinks this body shape has a cleaner and more attractive look than others.
- Has a rapid DC charge up to 270 KW which allows the car to go from 0-80 in 22 minutes.
- Has 330 mile range.
- Has a 3.7 second 0-62 time.
- GTS models have 150 kilos more weight.
- Is equiped with an 800 volt system.
- Lacks Tesla's charging network.
- Chassis dynamics are far superior to any Tesla the reviewer has driven.
- Offers both desirability and sustainability of a luxury electric vehicle.
- There's too much touch screen use for basic controls.
- Has a variable light control roof with 9 sections. The roof goes from bold to clear to matte or semi-matte.
- The rear light is the coolest element on the car, with its Porsche full-width rear light visor and "circuitry" design inside.
- Offers 446L of boot space with the ability to expand to 1212L with seats folded.
- Has a front trunk for storage.
- As a GTS, the chassis setup is described as its most aggressive.
- The steering and damping create a smooth and soul-stirring feel, with exceptional handling.
- Has torque vectoring as standard.
- Has optional rear steer.
- It comes equipped with the steel brakes.
- Reviewer thinks this is a “well balanced” car and is his favorite version of the Taycan.
- Is roughly 11mm longer than the saloon model, with other models at 1966mm.
- Has nearly 600 horse power.
- A great combination of desirability and sustainability.
- Drives more like a fast piston estate (such as the E63 AMG and RS6).
- The 911 GTS is the thinking person’s choice.
- The power is about 517HP. With overboost = 598HP.
- Costs about £104,990.
