    Taycan Turbo GT efficiency

    I'm quite aware of that (from working on aircraft simulation models). You think that a Taycan GT has a significantly smaller frontal (or "wetted") area than a Taycan GTS?

    Taycan Turbo GT efficiency

    You've now got 32% more drag than your GTS (which I assume was close to the 0.22 quoted for other j1.1s)- "The Taycan Turbo GT has a drag coefficient (cw) of 0.29. The Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package has a drag coefficient (cw) of 0.31." (from...

    THIS…! Is Doug Demuro’s review of the ‘25 Taycan GTS ST

    He has a delivery style that would be better applied to lecturing pre-school children on the importance of dental hygiene.

    WTH??? Is anyone else sick of getting RECALL AFTER RECALL???

    I've suffered minimal inconvenience in my 3 years- heater and brake lines replaced and battery monitoring software installed- and I look at the laundry list of recalls and issues that appear in the US and wonder whether I'm better off for not having such apparently much more...

    Charging process at home is in progress, nevertheless myPorsche app still shows 19%

    I experienced this a few days ago with my MY22. App eventually caught up with correct % when I unlocked the car to unplug it.

    FROZEN BLUE Taycan Club

    The more black contrast elements the better IMO and I wish I'd been able to spec those wheels. Not seen the blue headlights in real life and don't feel the blue lettering at rear enhances the look (it's a better match for the rendered FBM but, as you've probably already seen, real FBM has none...

    4S CT Oak Green or Gentian Blue

    I second @ze_shark 's recommendation of considering interior/exterior combos to arrive at your choice. If the door is open for Frozen Blue it's essential to see it in person- Porsche's virtual renderings of it are wildly inaccurate, the real thing has no silveriness whatsoever (thankfully, IMO).

    Cayenne EV

    PA commentator as it launches: "1.94 seconds to 60 feet" or am I mishearing "to 63"?

    Are Porsche owners arrogant?

    Is it also your first EV? I'd have thought that would be a more significant trigger of the prejudices of the ignorant. At least in UK, Porsches are now so ubiquitous and the ownership demographic so diverse that I've not noticed any significant negativity since Yuppie times (I too have only...

    What Was Your Father's Old Car?

    He was previously listed in Census records as "steam engine fitter and iron turner" so I'm guessing he started out in the shipyards himself and noted a more lucrative opportunity with a captive and thirsty customer base. What a small world- 2 random forum members with distant connections to...

    What Was Your Father's Old Car?

    Nobody batted an eyelid in those days when an overflow of smaller children had to be transported on a roof rack.

    What Was Your Father's Old Car?

    The one I like best- in which I learned to drive- was his Alfasud (GTJ 586N), the only car he bought new. Here's his first car, mid 1920's- The most impressive car was his grandfather's- a Vauxhall D type (25hp!), early 1920s- blurred Dad in the Dickie seat- I only discovered that photo when...

    Is rear axle steering a must?

    Keep in mind that when needing full lock to pull out from being parallel-parked to a kerb, the rear wheel steers slightly towards the kerb, so avoid parking right up against it.

    Fancy a J1.1 MY20 - MY23...hold that thought!

    It'd be interesting to know which dealerships are telling journalists that the "specific batch" = all pre-refresh Taycans (apart from those that aren't electric of course). There are plenty still listed for sale on the official website.

    This is my rationale for keeping my 4-year-old Taycan for at least 2 more years

    Similar to my situation with my MY22 Turbo CT, though I'd always planned to keep it for at least 5 years. I ordered it exactly how I wanted it, without compromise (to avoid any need to have to later replace it with another to get my perfect spec), so unless my use case were to change I see...

    Hybrid Experience?

    I had the cooking MY20 Cayenne e-Hybrid, my gateway to full EV when I discovered that I preferred pootling serenely around town in pure electric mode, and realised that most of the time I was lugging around a redundant ICE. The full monte did offer impressively sprightly performance but I...
