Not what you were originally talking about (wind resistance really favors the Taycan here) but deal! My current submission for the Macan GTS: 12.6 sec @ 107 mph https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a33805569/2020-porsche-macan-gts-by-the-numbers/ So far Carwow got 13.28 with the Performance...

For the second run that was just elapsed time so far for the quarter mile, but he hadn't reached a quarter mile yet before he stopped. If he had, the large box on the right of the vbox would change to 1/4 mile time.

I don't know if I can trust that review. They also said Officially, Porsche rates the car good for 321bhp, but it ‘overboosts’ to 402bhp when you flatten the throttle, and realistically you’re never going to be gunning the thing for long enough to feel the urgency drop off. But pretty sure...

You're on. What do you want to bet that a 2020/2021 Macan GTS with sport chrono beats a base 2021 Taycan with sport chrono 0-60? I would literally take this bet for pink slips.

1.06g is unbelievable. I remember when people went nuts over 1.0g for a Corvette. I can't tell whether the tires were different but both the 4S and the Turbo S had the 21" wheels.

FYI a lot of people forget that Cd is multiplied by frontal surface area to get actual drag. So a big SUV still has way more drag even with the same Cd.

I literally was thinking the same thing. Glad to see they look as amazing as I thought in my head. The main thing I dislike about the OEM is how the silver curves in to the black lug nuts and you totally fixed that.

Not sure what this means? Cayman S/GTS and Macan GTS/Turbo are way quicker from the specs. Except for a really brief moment of instant torque they should all be/feel a lot faster. I haven’t driven a base Taycan but I’ve driven everything else. I guarantee that in a Carwow drag race the base...

That’s disappointing (isn’t this what people complain about Teslas?) but thank you.

That reminds me that even the Taycan Turbo was top speed limited on the Nurburgring, wasn’t it? I remember thinking that it could’ve picked up a few seconds on the last straightaway and maybe this was Porsche sandbagging it.

But with a faster top speed they will eventually pass you LOL. As a kid who had a poster with all those Porsches on his wall (minus the Boxster) I thought it was interesting nonetheless. Also I may or may not have exceeded that speed (on a track) so it’s not irrelevant.

Seems like a good place for dirt and sand to get caught

Not saying this is an important figure, but it was still interesting... http://autozine.org/0_News/Archive/2021_01/News_frame.html 143 mph. This is the top speed of the entry-level Porsche Taycan that's simply called Taycan. It is therefore the slowest Porsche since the 944 2.7, which went out...

Thanks! Instructions made it seem like it was the light on the key that would give a long flash, but it’s the hazard lights.

Supposedly (from the manual) you’re supposed to be able to double click the lock button and the key will give one long flash indicating that the car is locked without the motion sensor. Never works for me... does this work for anyone else?

@evanevery I know I’m the idiot that suggested you mount on the driver’s side but I just realized you can’t fold your sun visor down???

I can't say if it'd be worth it for you but if you wanted it on an AWD, it's even MORE important on a RWD. What's the logic for the reverse?

If you’re paying sales tax to CA they’d better give you that rebate

Agreed although maybe they want to push people to the bigger battery.

While I was very disappointed the first time I sat in a Model S I think if Plaid manages to beat the Taycan’s ring time significantly then Porsche’s going to have a problem and have to respond with a tri-motor setup (they should have one regardless IMHO). It’s not a given that Plaid will be...
