Porsche Taycan Turbo vs Audi RS e-tron GT RS: The COMPLETE Challenge | Fifth Gear

[@hansolo9674]

No conclusion to this video.. you should have ran the Audi in track mode once you learned you muffed it .

[@mrmr1734]

The Audi is simply designed to be less than a Porsche. They will NEVER handle as sharply as a Porsche. The race was over before it began. I'd still choose the e tron GT, though. Arguably a slightly better value, and they, ironically enough, are much more rare than the Taycan, at least where I live.

I love how Plato can feel everything thats happening in the car as a passenger 😂😂 legend. They're both fantastic

That’s Porsche technology ever evolving and setting the standards, interior, exterior, power and handling, ticks all the boxes in a big way!!! 😎

um er nope its all rimac tech .... vag and rimac are technology partners for ev's as an aside hyundai group also uses rimac technology

So.. two different drivers.... this test makes no sense

[@Rol1Co]

If you want to test 2 cars the same you have to test with the same driver too, this "testing" sucks i.m.h.o.

[@marcvic_1595]

The Audi looks so much better tho! I consider it the best looking Audi ever made 😁

[@peterhammer4644]

it looks nice but drives like shit

[@peterhammer6915]

I guess it's in the lookers eye. For me the Porsche looks much more beautiful, so classic. The front of the Porsche is 10/10.

[@anaalvarez8377]

I have this audi and trust me everybody look wen i am in the street is realy easy and sa e my life to Times i was nier to have crash and he stop alone ❤y prefect

[@EthanZoid]

No way

[@ufo734]

Not a great test. If you knew that you had only partially disabled the driver aids, then why not do the race again with the ETron GT in full race mode? Also, 2 different drivers? Why not just use one driver to test both cars for the lap time, that way the test isnt affected by one person being a better driver than the other. Really, this was a pretty silly and badly done test all in all.

[@kyriakoskarallis5268]

This is why you have 90k views and only 1.2k likes. Really tried to upswell the Porsche. 1. two different drivers 2. Brake test not measured from the same spot 3. Didn’t put the Audi in race mode on the track. I was in both. For the money and looks I chose the RS etron GT. I got mine at a good price with the glass roof and options brand new for the price of the base Tycan plus model.

[@planespeaking]

Love how they're trying to differentiate two cars that are essentially identical. Just choose your look.

[@Tom55data]

That brake test does not make sense, it should be tested from the same speed, and same point of starting to brake - and measure the distance. That way you will know if you will hit the "" from the same point of seeing it. For example, we know that from 60 mph, that sub 30 metres is excellent, 31 m is good, and 35 meters is average.

[@PA5KM]

Were the cars on the same brand / type of tyres ? That can make a huge difference..

[@steffydog]

Brilliant, thanks guys 🏁

[@RomainSandt]

So the timed lap result is based on a bad test ? So is the conclusion? Porsche probably is faster. But by how much really?

[@angadwasu7084]

The day an Audi beats a Porsche on a track, would be the day Porsche stops being the baseline to judge all cars on a track. Amazing stuff Jason and Karun 💯💯

[@tavirosu25]

Had the pleasure to watch the boys from Porsche Experience do some twisty roads with the GT3 vs Tycan Turbo. I was genuine amazed how good the Tycan kept up in the bends...seriously if they can figure out how to increase the range and shorten the recharge times, an EV saloon Porsche will be all you need, unless you do track racing!

So why not do another lap in race mode and not waste everyone's day with a non result?🤷

[@AndyChipling]

I think they should have done the Audi again although maybe it wouldn't have made much difference am I really love these guys doing tests very very good the cream of the crop keep on doing it we love you

[@derhohlenbar]

His voice over was not done when they were on the track. I honestly believe they should have went back at a later date and let the F1 driver do the track with both cars. I don't have a dog in the race but can see that this "VS" video was full of opinion and flawed data. Having said all that if I were to own either car I wouldn't be racing with it. Plus I would never buy a car based on another person's opinion. I just wanted to see how cool the cars looked in this video, haha.

[@wordreet]

Meh, just a driving challenge. It was fun, but what about trying to get an MTB in the back, or a range test with 4 peeps and luggage in the car?

[@petertf03]

What about the elephant in the room? - the Taycan battery damaging, cheap, onboard charger issue? Reports, especially from a Porsche whistle blower and others, seem to confirm that Porsche continue to ship around 60% Taycans with this built-in problem. As reported by The Electric Viking - Sam Evans recently.

[@peterhammer4644]

never heard of that issue. I have had a Taycan for 19 months and do know several owners. The biggest problem is the software on the PCM but it became much better after the new software was installed. Another problem is the Webasto manufactured heater, which tend to cause problems.

In essence, Audi designed car is for luxury, Porsche is for sport; purchase accordingly.

[@tommimetsapuro5382]

I think audi is better looking car. Front of the porsche looks like a dolphin.

[@peterhammer6915]

The front of the Porsche looks perfect, it's better than of a 911. I have watched it now everyday for the last 2,5 years and it always looks as great.

[@sparkyUK]

I don't need to even watch this to know the outcome - Porsche isn't ever going to allow the lesser brand, Audi, to beat it.

[@MrAdrianOldfield]

Calling any of these a GT is a bit of a stretch

[@ashleylordess5621]

Hearing how to pronounce 'Porsche' correctly and still saying it incorrectly is funny.

The brake test is worthless. You’re not measuring distance to stop from 100mph. You guys are actually measuring (somewhat inaccurately), time to accelerate to and stop from 100 mph. Carwow does this test better.
