First weekend impression of "my" Taycan

[WattTurbo]

Absolutely love it.
Like Ruby Pink it will be a rare future classic. The fact that you have gone ‘all in’ with pink wheels is tremendous.
My GTS saloon will be gorgeous yet ‘safe’ crayon/chalk. I prefer the look of the saloon but I have to order a Sport Turismo soon as my 12 year is 6ft tall and growing like a bean sprout.
My wife won’t go in the back and I don’t fit in the back.
I think the ST is going to be Frozenberry!
Love Speed Yellow too but not paying PTS to get a yellow Taycan.
Black trim essential on pale cars.
Also love NO privacy glass. Beautiful symmetry on side view.

Thanks! When I did the first build online, I went with a safer color, but she quickly threw that out the window. She wanted something unique that's why she picked the racing yellow, and now this frozen berry. It's not really pink though when you see it in person. My son has a car wrap shop, and a couple of his clients picked pink so I've seen them and would have pushed back if the frozen berry looks like that because I know eventually it'd become my ride like the 911 just did.

You took a chance on the color and it turned out great. Well done! Love how the color on those wheels works so well. Many happy miles to you and your wife!! ?

Wow! I'm a fan of the color combo. Even the wheel color option looks great here. The wife also approved when I showed here. Hopefully the new car treats you well

Many thanks. The car has been nothing but absolute astonishing. We charged it twice at the EA station near the house, and even that went very well both times.

Sweet car! Sounds like you have your Porsche buying process all sorted out. Love the body color on the Mission E wheels here, as well as the black door handles, and the body color on the splitter and diffuser. Really well done. Please post more pics in different lighting conditions!

As requested, but you'll have to see us in the pictures as well. These were taken on the day we picked it up. It's under full sun.

Thanks! We had it built right before the price of materials sky rocketed...thank goodness.

Is that a J Patrick house? Do you know the guy with a yellow 911 turbo?

I ordered Mamba and Frozen Berry was my second choice.
I haven't fixed the order yet so may change, that looks great.

It was the opposite for my wife...mamba green was her second choice. We're glad we got this color, and the extra black trims and body colored wheels complete the looks. Did you spec'd the black trims on yours?

Mine is a Cross Turismo, my most frequent passenger is my dog so I needed the space in the back. So far I specified the 21" cross Turismo wheels in volcano grey and matching inserts, if I changed to Frozen Berry I may change that too!

@f1eng I know how much you “dislike“ SUV’s so recommend you do not watch this recent review of the CT4S!

My dislike of SUVs is their appalling aerodynamics and efficiency. The high driving position is the only plus, the feeling that it may "fall over" in a corner is not.

Also they have poor primary safety because their stopping distance and potentiual for roll over are high for a passenger vehicle.

They are often but not always spacious inside (when I compared a BMW X5 had considerably less space inside than a 5-series estate car.)

The Taycan CT has none of these characteristics so referring to it as a SUV because it has 20mm (~¾") higher ride height and plastic trim on the wheelarch does not make it true

It is an estate car.

Speaking of rolling over...
