2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S On The Track!

I was hoping Tom was going to drive the car and give his perspective on the Porsche versus other electric cars. It looks like I’m going to have to wait for the review from Tom and get his honest point of view and not from the company engineer.

Man, I own a tesla model 3
but never realize that electric car can be sporty like this
over 2 tons of weight
Porsche did take the EV to another level….

What is "too much head toss?"

Gorgeous and amazing. You got great shots!

Thank you!

You looked like you wanted to go home!I Did they supply a barf bag for the demo🤢🤞

Now THIS is a proper EV sport sedan – the way it changes corners & repeatedly goes full throttle is amazing.

This car looks AMAZING! I wonder how it will compare to the Tesla 100P. Will Porsche do over the air software updates? Will Porsche stores be able to service they Taycan?

The quietness and speed of this car even on video is insane. In the real world potentially very dangerous for others using the road like pedestrians etc…can’t hear it coming especially with such acceleration

Obviously, the first question you should have asked the Porsche guy is why the heck they call it a 'Turbo' when EVs don't have a turbo and have nothing at all in common with turbocharging.

Holy fatass 5060 lbs, I wonder what its lateral G handling and 60-0 mph stopping distance numbers are. I love everything else about it except the price and 20 minutes charging is still too long, need to get it down to 5 minutes like ICE cars.

Pretty cool. I'd have one if I had the money. It understeers for Germany though…….

Amazing!!!

This is… I just… the want is strong. It's kind of jaw dropping the way that Porsche approached full electrification in how it's different than what Tesla has been doing. The performance is there in both, but look at the interior… completely different thinking. I'm hoping that a manufacturer decides to go retro with electrification and provides buttons, knobs and switches instead of screens to control functions. I think we've gone too far too fast with the human-to-car handshake and making it touchscreen

I very much like the concept of electric cars, whether they be designed for performance or efficiency.

But as a visceral experience, I always worried that the loss of engine sounds would take something away.

I'm not worried anymore. This thing sounds like it is activating warp drive when accelerating.

And of course, tire screeching will always be tire screeching.

Tesla, it’s your move!!!

Love that the regeneration seems to come on the brake pedal with the hydraulic brakes assisting under heavy braking. After test driving a Model 3 last week, I wasn't sure how I felt about adapting to the "one-pedal" driving style where the regeneration comes on as one lifts off the throttle. Made me wonder how the Model 3 behaves using the high-performance driving techniques that one learns at driving schools such as trying to manage weight transfers, trailbraking, trailbrake rotation, etc. Granted, I've never taken a Model 3 on track, but I'm really curious. This car seems like it's more what I would be used to. It seems to be less of a "new" way of driving than other EVs.

wow, just wow

Congrats Tom, I think this is the first on-track video out there besides the nurburg lap record.
