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.
