How fast will Taycan go in reverse?

[MissionE]

Strange question, I know; but I’m genuinely interested. Is the speed capped? ICEs only have a single reverse gear, but an EV should in theory be infinite. Will she do 60? 100?

I will go as fast as the software will let it. I'm sure Porsche engineers didn't give the full potential in reverse.

Heck, my 30yr old RC cars where all electronically limited in reverse. it was about 15% of forward speed. Back then it actually made sense because electric, hand wound, motors with silver brushes had a "prefered" rotation. You had to choose CW or CCW rotation from factory.

I'm sure that nowadays this isn't true for these motors but still, it would be pretty dumb making all those horses available for reverse.

Make sure you take a video. I. have my "comin' in hot" soundtrack ready for it.
