(I know there already are several threads about winter wheels for the Taycan, but rather than hijack someone else's thread I figured I'd rather create my own) I have a black GTS Sport Turismo with the 21" RS Spyder rims on my summer wheels, and have now decided to get a set of 20" rims for...

Ok, so now I've had the MAP EV tune in my 2023 GTS Sport Turismo (800 PS / 910 NM) for a short while. I haven't been able to track the car as fall has arrived and there are no more scheduled track events, but in the spring I will take it to the track and really push it. Nor have I been able to...

Here is a thorough and interesting comparison between a Taycan GTS and an Ioniq 5 N from a guy who owns both:

Could it be that steel springs *historically* has offered better driving dynamics than air suspension, while on the Taycan the air suspension has been developed and refined to a point where it supersedes the steel springs? When I ordered my Audi RS6 Avant 2014 (I still have it! :–), I opted for...

Ok, that's still pretty low compared to AWD ICE transmission losses :–). You wrote above that the output from the engines on the J1.2 4S is 940 PS, and as it was measured to be 900 PS at the wheels on the dyno, the transmission loss is only ~4.3%. Do you know of any technical reasons for it to...

Thanks. Just out of curiosity, what would you expect the output at the wheels to be then (on the J1.1. GTS), i.e. what is a likely estimate of drive train loss for these AWD cars?

Quick question: Is the figure 800 PS for the J1.1 GTS the actual output from the combined engines, or is it the output measured at the wheels (like the J1.2 4S above; hopefully this :–)? If the latter, what is the actual engines output; if the former, what is the estimated output at the wheels?

Would there be any potential downside to upgrading a GTS MY2023 from PCM 3385 to 4578, if one could get one's local PC to do this? I.e. might it in some cases become slower due to the newer software expecting different (faster) hardware, even though the architecture is the same and thus...

Again, would the following configuration be possible: 1) In Normal mode (for leisure driving like running local errands), one would have regen OFF by default, but if one turns it ON, it would then be +4.0x of the original regen value ("OPD mimicking") 2) In Sport mode (for more inspired...

Dmitri, when we discussed regen modification earlier, we talked about an increase of 30-40% (+0.3-0.4x), but if I understand correctly, you have now come to the conclusion that 400% (+4.0x) feels fine—can you elaborate a bit on the perceived difference between an increase of +0.4x (slightly more...

Great, that sounds easy enough for me (once I get around to have the ASG installed :–).

I'd also be interested in trying out the revised regen, as I opted to keep it OEM to begin with. I haven't had the box installed yet, but when I do, how do I go about to carry out the update? Do I receive an .exe file from you via email that I then download to the ASG via the ENET cable (in the...

I have a 2023 GTS ST. The top three things with this car: 1) Ride quality (high comfort even during very sporty driving) 2) Performance (quick response and acceleration, especially from a standstill) 3) Design (a feast for the eyes on a daily basis) Desired improvements: 1) Lower weight...

How much regen did you add, and how would you describe the difference? (Myself I initially wanted +40%, then went down to +20% to not make too much of a change, and then wound up making no changes to regen as per Dmitri’s recommendation.) I also have the insulation glass, and my solution has...

Last year I had a 2014 RS6 Avant (@690 PS) and a 2021 Cayman GTS 4.0 PDK (@470 PS), and decided to replace the RS6 with a Taycan GTS Sport Turismo (as my first electric car)–but to my surprise I found that the Taycan actually replaced the Cayman more than it replaced the RS6 (at least for me)...

I just yesterday finalised my order for the MapEV tune after many weeks of trying to find someone with a portable PC with an Ethernet port (as I'm a Mac user and my MacBook Air doesn't have an EtherNet port) that could help me read the OBD port with the ENET cable and then upload the data to...

I bought my GTS Sport Turismo 2023 as the second owner here in Sweden; it is pretty loaded and cost SEK 1,910K (~200K USD/~173K EUR/~148K GBP in current values) new, while I paid SEK 1,210K (~126K/~110K EUR/~94K GBP) for it last summer (i.e. 1.5 years old and with 22K km/~ 13,7K miles on it). I...

To me it's more about the principle, not the cost per se; I'm not paying an annual fee for using my car (besides insurance...) – I have bought it and I own it, but after three years the manufacturer wants me to pay them an annual fee for some basic functionality that I feel should have been...

Interested, just sent you an email :-).

Well, that's even better then :-). I loved my Cayman GTS 4.0 and would be hard pressed to choose between a GT4 RS and a GT3, but would probably go with the latter...
