Yeah I get that but power is torque * revs and revs take time to build. It’s the power that results in performance. Even if you get instant torque you don’t get instant max power. Maybe Jenson29 is right and torque is boosted. I‘ve not seen any data on that though…..

OK so bear with me on this. I’ve had a glass or two of barolo so might not be thinking straight. So if LC only lasts 2.5 seconds and peak torque does not change just how is LC beneficial. Surely on launch it takes a second or two to gain enough revs to generate peak power (A bit quicker on the...

Yep, I get rust on my rotors after a few days when I leave the car. It gets cleared up at the start of the next trip since the brakes are used for the first few braking events each day. Only after that do you get regen.

It really seems that how you precondition the battery, what you have on (in particular aircon) and how heavy your foot is make a big deference. If I do all the right things and drive in normal I get around 240. I just got back from a run where I did not precondition, was having fun on the back...

No complaints here, literally just got back from another drive that had no reason whatsoever except to have fun. It puts a smile on my face every time. It's years since I just went out for a drive but with the Taycan it's a regular thing.

Over on another forum I use carbon brakes are lauded for their weight reduction and the improved front end feel due to less unsprung weight. Frank, raised it earlier and it might have been missed. Personally, I don't know if I could ever feel that on the road but to is stated as a reason to...

Have you recently "upgraded" to the new MyPorsche app? I did over the weekend and lost comms to the car in the connect app. I deleted MyPorsche and hey presto I got connectivity back. I did get a warning from the MyPorsche app that having both it and connect installed could create problems.

If you park the car on full steering lock you will be able to tell from the back wheels. The inside wheel will be clearly steering but for the outside wheel it is much less obvious.

Yes I completely agree with this, the options list is dangerous and can get expensive. Just get what you need / want (I ended up going quite big). I chose the same options I would have chosen if I had been financing the car privately, its just by the miracle of salary sacrifice that they...

Yes, good point to check if you can buy out. I know I can but I don't know the price yet so anything could happen at the end of lease. The company I am with (LeasePlan) has a portal which you can get multiple quotes from. In that way I could price up each option. Some must have had some retained...

Hi James I think we had a discussion over on Cutters about the Taycan ownership experience….. One thing I forgot to mention was around options. You say you will limit them, I don’t know if that is by choice or by company policy but since you are financing through salary sacrifice there is a...

Thanks for that. I was hoping for an easier way….. on previous cars I’ve had my screen set to show tyre temperature all the time even on the road. It gave me an indication of the level of grip I should be expecting, especially in colder ambient temperatures. It also let me know when I could...

Anyone know if you can display tyre temperature in any of the screens? Taycans have TPMS fitted but I can only find information on displaying pressure. Would be good to have the temps too for any track work. Thanks.

I went with British Gas. They installed an Alfen Eve Pro with a Matt E IP67 load shedder for £895 after grants. I‘m very impressed with the result and workmanship.

I’m sort of in the camp that there is more potential in the 4s than has been tuned in by Porsche. But I accept I may be entirely wrong. The continous power of the rwd (which shares the back end with the 4s) is 375hp with the big battery. The front motor is shared with all the 4 wheel drive...

I’ve noticed the power surge in the mid 70s and was trying to research it just the other day. At first I thought it was a gear change since it is right at the top of the theoretical range for 1st and interestingly the sport sound changed to a lower frequency sound at the same point. Then I...

Ordered my 4s in March, and it will delivered early next week. The main part of my wait was waiting for the allocation, the actual build and delivery went according to plan. I only lost around 3 weeks on the projected delivery time given when I placed the order. That long wait gave me chance to...
