Savage Gees does the best technical review on the suspension.

I love how in their regular reviews they put the car up on a lift while discussing the suspension.
Although with the new active ride option, perhaps nothing of interest is visible?

I was surprised that the vague brake feeling became worse with hot calipers.
I would have thought that the electronic system would allow for a constant feel, even if consistently vague.

Either way, this review got me interested in eventually replacing my 4CT eventually with the facelift version!

Thanks for sharing- I look forward to working my way through these. I started with Rory's (Autotrader) and got the thoughtful conclusion I'd expect from him- Bravo Porsche for a technical tour-de-force, but can we now please have an EV Porsche sportscar, one that doesn't focus on the power and acceleration times arms-race.

I have high hopes this will be the 718 EV.

Did you notice how Edmunds' Taycan was charged only to 25% SoC and he attempted a 0-60 launch? I think they should make sure SoC is optimal before doing these reviews.
With my Turbo S, anything below 50% SoC does not give full power.

They seemed like pretty so so reviews. All loved the power but there was never anyone saying wow this felt way more connected and GT car like then the other Taycans. Was expecting this based off the Cayenne turbo GT but it doesn’t seem to be the case here. Would have also like to hear how big of a difference this new suspension is over the PDCC.

I'm guessing that the consumption reported in Autogefuhl's video isn't representative of track work- at 64.5 kWh/100km, it's nearly 2.5 times better than I've seen on gen 1 Turbos and Turbo S's. I'd be impressed if it gets anywhere near 1 kWh/mile.

I think it's just that PDCC only works left/right and the new one adjusts front/back to reduce squat & dive. Probably all software.

did someone come across the (leaked?) TurboGT feature PDF that is shown in some of the videos?
