I think this was a really awesome look at two comparable offerings from one manufacturer. As shown, the dedicated sports car with 60+ years of development is a better performer on track. However; the practical, spacious, and electric offering gives 90% of the performance with actual room for 4 and a daily use package that can't be equaled by the 911. Plus you can get it in wagon or sedan variants.

Similar price, but 1 is a family hauling 5 door 5 passenger estate (station wagon) in this case, and the other is a 2+2 sports car. These cars are for 2 very different purposes. A better comparison would be this Taycan GTS vs a Panamera GTS which are also similarly priced 4-doors.

@tronderikbrekke8792 Жыл бұрын

Great comparison, I do wish you had the opportunity to compare the sport saloon instead of the sport turismo. The Saloon chassis is slightly better for two reasons, first of all it has a working active spoiler, and secondly the weight distribution is slightly better. The turismo chassis has more weight in the rear, which isn't ideal, since the Taycan was designed as the saloon, where they of course made it perfect, that's the optimal chassis. And I would never track it with the 20" original wheels. The optional 21" sets both sport wider tires, and better rubber. And better brakes are fitted if you go for that option, with bigger rotors and more pistons, and the brakes are on par with the 911. And with the PDCC system as well the car rolls less, and keep more of the weight balanced on all 4 wheels. I think most of that second difference would be gone if the car was spec'ed for a more performance oriented use. But of course, that would probably not be the easiest comparison to do, but it would be the most interesting to watch. And it would make more sense. Buying a GTS without getting all the driving goodies makes little sense to me at least.

Honestly, you'd be better off comparing the Panemera to the Taycan. I'm looking forward to the day when we get an electric 911, but we're not there yet and I think you've compared the Taycan to the wrong car. Obviously the 911 is going to be more fun on track, but these are machines with two very different purposes. Can I load a stroller into the 911?

@nextfitness22 Жыл бұрын

Actually…. Yes you can. Not a B.o.b. But you can get one in. However your still right two very different cars as you said the Panamera VS tacan is a more likely cross shop especially plug-in Panamera.

Just loving Rory’s passion and ability to explain what makes a car fun to drive. I’ve given up trying to explain to EV enthusiasts that weight is the biggest killer for fun and feel at the wheel. Most can’t see beyond the 0 to 60 but when you are carrying the weight of a british leyland mini in your boot you won’t stop or change direction in the way you want. You have to learn to drive around the weight which compromises the experience. It’s just a matter of time though, i’m holding high hopes for the 2025 718.

Fantastic review. If power-to-weight is the critical factor, then if the Taycan's battery size were reduced, then it could potentially perform as well as the 911? 🤔 Albeit on short track days!! 🤣🤣

@willgannon5117 Жыл бұрын

Not necessarily since battery size can relate to maximum power output at a given time, and that might lower power too. However there are ways to engineer around this issue.

@ExclamationMarx Жыл бұрын

The Taycan actually has a much smaller battery than a Lucid Air Dream Edition despite weighing the same. I'm not sure where the extra weight in the Taycan comes from, but I don't think it's the batteries
