Is The Facelift Porsche Taycan Turbo S Any Good? First Drive!

Very excited to finally get our hands on the new Facelift Taycan Turbo S!
This thing is rapid - not far off the uber limited GT version, which is even more madness!
0 to 124mph in 7.7 seconds - not bad for an EV. We'll take the car out for a test drive, try the push to pass feature and the launch (which hurts).
We'll also take a good look round the exterior and interior!
Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching.

Hi. I tried the Turbo S 2 weeks ago............ Wow! It flies over the Autobahn constantly also upon 220 km/h! Had that contact with an AMG 63 GT R but he couldn't beat me up to 270 km/h. He took a bite of his steering wheel of frustration... 😅😅😅 Sure it is under the Taycan GT the most expensive car, but if you take all options on the underbody you get an extremely fast sportscar with fantastic driving! And! At 270 km/h i had a consumption of 33 kWh only!! So the new Taycan is way more efficient than the older one. Combining with the 105 kWh battery you get significant more range! 👍 👍 👍 If you want it, just get it! Our 4S Cross Turismo has to stay for 5 to 6 years before we change it... 😉 Take care! 👈 ✌️ 🙋🏼‍♂️

Thanks Joe. Yeah, I think things will have come on even further in 5 years's time right? It's a long time for new developments to take shape!

Agree. I’ll be keeping my 2022 CT TS (which is already a fantastic motor) for amother year or so whilst this new model beds in before I update. I never have confidence in new models as prefer to use a car rather than being in the garage… fortunately in HK they hold their value much better 👍

Reminds me of my old GSXR1000 - technically awesome and mind blowing speed. However pointless on most roads in the world where you can't press the accelerator (twist the throttle) for more than 2 seconds without breaking a multitude of laws!! I downsized my bike and have more fun and I'd get the 4S Taycan instead and actually have fun using it. But on a few rare occassions you'd wish you had the full fat one....

@2020PorscheTaycanTurboS Ай бұрын

I would get the Taycan 4s too even that ones more than enough power for me!

@TABonTV Ай бұрын

Yeah - bikes are a whole other level. I have 2 and they just keep going... You have to remember they don't stop as well too!

@phoenixrising011 Ай бұрын

@@deputydd4364 You are absolutely right about that. There is 100% truth when people say less power is more fun. Yes the acceleration is amazing, but it's over immediately unless you want to risk jail. And I mean JAIL in 2 seconds. They are that fast.

@paulgaida2601 Ай бұрын

Another great video TAB! Looks like I’ll go for a test drive. Most likely will go for the previous one and buy it at a depreciated rate. But speak to my accountant first…

Nice review. An impressive upgrade. It’s now over 100kg lighter than the new BMW M5! The 320kwh charging to 65% is key for road trips. I think Active Ride could be a key option for U.K. roads. What did you think of the cloth seats, and would you have them over leather?

@TABonTV Ай бұрын

Thanks! Yeah for me the synthetic interior was pretty good! I do like the cloth design too, pretty retro. Leather might still just take the lead though.

Amazing review! Also, doesn’t the new turbo s’s electric sport sound sound a bit different from your the old taycan’s electric sport sound? It sounds to me that they’ve changed the sound a little.

@@nigelbradley5961 yep that’s one good thing about the decepriation that the used prices of the Taycan will become lower and I will be able to afford it someday. I’m not in the market for a luxury car right now though so probably some time in the future but I would really like to test drive one sometime soon and learn more about that personally.

Fantastic car. I feel sorry for people who have never driven a Porsche.... That feeling..... Now if we could get the depreciation situation under control I'd actually consider purchasing one.... Not taking a 50% haircut for 10,000 MI. I'll keep my gas Turbos.

Can anyone test drive the Porsche Taycan or are test drives only available for those who will buy Porsche Taycans in the future if you don’t mind my asking?

The new front (both types) have grown on me. Strangely, i like the rwd and 4s better, it reminds me of a shark somehow :) I thought i would miss the teardrops. but it fits the car and it still has the "look" :)

I'd be surprised if even 1% of all Taycans make it onto a track. Don't fall into the trap of judging what is the best road car on a track, I'm sure Porsche would love for everyone Turbo S models because they don't run out of juice over 100mph. But as far as I'm aware you're in the UK and highest legal speed limit is 70 mph. Judge what car is the most fun to drive between 0-100 mph, that's the real benchmark.

@TABonTV Ай бұрын

Yeah, you're probably right there, but I'd be in that 1% for sure. Would be rude not to!

"Porsche is dialling back production of the Taycan, shifting operations at its Zuffenhausen plant from a two-shift to a single-shift schedule reportedly due to dwindling demand for luxury electric Vehicles”.

The Macan is a totally different car. You can't compare the Taycan with the Macan! The Macan never gets the same power!

@@joevandura9625 Going from Scotland to Italy for 2 weeks sort of thing is exactly what I'm looking for, and no kids, no dog :) 0-60 measure in breakneck speed is not that appealing for me. Macan does it in under 5 sec, it's good enough for me as in London where I live, the speed limit is frustrating 20mph. And who is going to go superfast every time from one stop light to another with the back full of groceries or toddlers in child-seat, and speed limits everywhere?

@@snakeeyes9246 Totally Agree however essential you make sure any used one has all the manufacturer updates on it and make sure it has a warranty left on it or if not consider buying one. The early versions of the car are full of manufacturing faults including batteries that can catch fire. Therefore, it’s essential any used one has had all the modifications, buy only from a dealer 👍

@@CliffPrice-fe9bl I am fully aware of that. I won't bother with the original one though. It will almost certainly be one of the new facelifts once they start to lose value.
