ANSWERED! How high does the rear spoiler go?

[Watchesandburgers]

How high does the rear spoiler go? I know it rises at a certain speed (~70 mph). And I believe it goes a little higher in Sport Plus mode. I took the pic below in Sport Plus. What does this translate to on the outside? Thanks!

Like an inch. You can make it go up when parked and go look at it.

Did that, but I thought it went up higher when in S+, no?

It hardly seems worth the bother! It moves so little that I doubt it would affect handling at any speed, certainly not at UK road legal speeds

I don’t have a spoiler (GTS ST). So no stress. ? handles beautifully.

It's interesting Porsche fitted an active spoiler to the Panamera Sport Turismo (above the rear window at the back edge of the roof-line) but not the Taycan ST ?. Compared with the drama of the full Panamera Turbo (sedan) spoiler deploying I always thought it was a shame you can't see the ST spoiler at all from inside .

Still, as you say @Novemberwhisky, the Taycan GTS ST handles beautifully, esp with PTV+, PDCC and RWS ?.

That's just 'cleaning mode' The spoiler goes up higher when deployed... there are (I think) 3 settings, based on speed. Check out the video... there's the definitive proof.

That's what I was looking for. Thanks!

so what exactly are the speeds at which it shifts it's positions?

1st position
2nd position
3rd (highest) position

Thanks.

My next question is: is there an icon for how much it's extended that shows up on the 2025 Taycan's dash (4S)?

I have installed a new spoiler. Amazing effect

The Taycan spoiler deployment is likely to be more about aerodynamics and less about downforce.
