Pro Racer's Take: 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S

[@_red_scorpion_]

I don't comment much but I gotta say please keep doing what you're doing. I am LOVING these reviews!

Thanks Ty!

[@TankRust]

Another great review! What a technological tour de force. I was a bit surprised at the amount of understeer Porsche have dialed in, being such a performance oriented brand. I am sure the stability was welcomed in the high speed corners however, given how quickly the Taycan gathers speed. It will be interesting if these early high performance electric vehicles are still admired 30 years from now, or dismissed as hopelessly outdated technology. Time will tell!

All these Pro Racer's Takes are superb, but this one is over the top! How can this thing be so good and still be a 5000 lb 4 door?! Great work Andy & Zack!

Amazing electrical sport car. With the same performance level of a Shelby GT350 or Camaro SS1LE. 80% charging in just 20 minutes. Amazing. If now Porsche could improve its range that would be phenomenal. 🏆👍

Marvelous Taycan review. Truth be told, probably the best I’ve seen thus far! Cheers.

Some of my favorite content on this channel! Thank you.

Nice corner shots!

Andy was able to get my Model 3 DM lap time by right at 3s... Guess I need to get back and try harder. Great vid! The power is just insane, he's around 10mph faster into 1a, and 10-15mph faster in the other straights.

👍LOVE your reviews! Keep up the good work #muchappreciated Can't wait to see the #numbers & #tracktimes of the 992 Turbo S😏

[@Mamo878]

The size of those front brake calipers is _ridiculous!_

[@93455Driver]

Wonder what the lap time would be with sticky summer tires.

[@ronb4633]

Thanks for the review. Loved the track time then interior and everyday use is a total plus. Great review.

[@rudyyyxu]

poor tires. Will be pretty messed up after a few trackday sessions

[@Mamo878]

That's what the GT3 on the other side of the garage is for.

[@suryamp12]

When will you review a Model 3 Performance?

[@eugenepark9665]

Can't wait to see this tech trickle down into a 918-style plug-in hybrid 911

[@wil_leighton1618]

amazing car! Be awesome to see how it does against the model 3 performance

[@RexRaikkonen]

For whatever it's worth, my fastest time is 2:18.3 in my Model 3 DM Performance. My car has some light mods, but I'm also not Andy Pilgrim lol. This was before the latest updates for more power and revised track mode, which came during the off-season, so I'm sure I can get a bit quicker next time. :-)

[@jamdc2000]

That is how the Panamera should have looked like from the back

"For the professional backseat racing driver" :D

[@johnnyr25]

750hp for short bursts of 2.5 seconds otherwise it's 670-ish hp. Please be straight when advertising that guys. Lol. Also, I love that there seems to be some sort of contractual obligation to not mention TESLA by those reviewing Taycans. 😄

[@flashsushi1843]

Maybe because there is no comparison apart from acceleration bursts?

[@gregakavcic4971]

Lol yea... hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/taycanvstesla-graphs-accelerationtest-1581089637.png?resize=980:*

[@biplabkumarghosh6300]

@@flashsushi1843 Yes, everyone who doesn't obtain their Taycan from Porsche mentions Model S. It's just those who get them from Porsche don't mention them What do you think is the nearest EV competitor to a Taycan Turbo S? For most people it's Model S performance And for the Taycan 4S, it's the Model 3 Performance

[@biplabkumarghosh6300]

@@gregakavcic4971 Did they use Cheetah Launch Control for the Model S? Because independent KZbinrs seem to get a completely different result kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIjPfHR8d7KYd8U

[@msl5253]

Lots of reviewers do mention Tesla, especially when the car was first tested. Many don't. Those who usually deal with high end cars don't always mention them, cause there's no need to. However, many dual Taycan, Model S owners say they like their Taycan's much better FWIW/if that satisfies you.

Walked right pass this car and bought the 992 Turbo S.
