It depends on what criteria are most important to you…
If performance: Michelin PS4S (or they may actually have PS5S in our size now) or Pirellis (can also go with the new Pirelli Trofeo R that the Turbo GT is equipped with). From personal experience, Michelin is generally a much better value/$...
The scenario in which you would be pushing your car hard enough to notice the change in range doesn’t really exist outside of a race track. In daily usage on public roads the impact is so small I could not even give you an estimate.
Congrats and welcome!
While I will forever miss the raw mechanical engagement and handling of my 991.2 GT3 touring, the Taycan GTS takes the cake for the perfect daily driven sportscar
If you get the itch for more power, the Redshift ECU takes an awesome car to an incredible car!
Appreciate the input! Range really isn’t a consideration for me as I will happily sacrifice it for looks/performance, but was just curious what you were seeing and how sensitive these cars really are to different wheel/tire setups
Would love to get your feedback on how this impacted your range (wider tires and wheels that were not designed with drag considerations in mind).
My understanding is that the new 21” Aero Design wheels (which also come with narrower 285 rear tires) have been shown to increase range by something...
If you want to be nice you should include it. But there is no obligation to sell the car with any component, specced as part of standard equipment or otherwise.
No different than, say, removing the 6 CD changer from the trunk of your E39 M5 and then selling the car to someone else….cars for all...
They arent talking about putting new monitoring software in your car. The car already sends diagnostic data to Porsche…toggle through your vehicle settings and you can see that you can disable this “feature” (because not everyone wants their car sending automatic diagnostic reporting to...
I believe that the rear brakes may actually be doing more work than the front. I am coming to this conclusion based on dust buildup on the wheels as my rear wheels are always dirtier (and the fact that most “regular“ braking is done via motor recuperation, eg the brakes aren’t used much).
This...
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but this dog doesn’t hunt for me…
Of course the Taycan doesn’t have the exact same dynamics as a 911, but coming from a 991.2 GT3 to a Taycan GTS, the car is absolutely still a Porsche
Really depends on how much money you are willing to throw away. If you are financially prudent, the logical approach would be to wait a year and buy a lightly used 2025. With the amount of depreciation these cars are experiencing, buying new is a pretty tough proposition. If you have to have the...
thanks for confirming, I often drive in Sport so, yes, that makes sense that the speed dependent lowering differs based on which drive mode you are in.
I will have to confirm next time I am in the car but my GTS definitely defaults to “Low” setting (the same as Sport Plus) at certain highway speeds…
I found this in the literature (but it is specifically in reference to Cross Turismo…
… I am fairly certain the GTS does it at something closer...
It’s not so much that it “messes up the alignment” - there is a perfectly valid reason to increase negative camber (handling in corners). I think what you are trying to say is that sport plus puts the car in its lowest possible configuration, which, of course, will result in more negative camber...
This is helpful and confirms my butt-o-meter assessment that the car definitely is pulling harder than a stock Turbo/Turbo S when not in overboost.
I looked through the Draggy database and there are a few datapoints of Taycan Turbo S that put down mid-7 second 60-130, so I am inclined to...
