But will it help the resale value?

“The little Taycan that could…” (for American the audience).

Let that be a lesson to those of you that doubt German engineering (message to all).

Most impressively, the wheels drive it forwards even when it's floating.

Am I the only one that was waiting for them to open the door and step out nice and dry?

Wow, hope they got the battery sealant leak deal checked before wading in.

That car is water tight at every level. It is the irony of the Porsche story. The engineers build it to go through mud, rain, floods and deep snow and owners leave them in the garage aka "garage queens" in inclement, cold weather.

A paradigm I will never understand as they depreciate the same way whether you use them or not.

Why? They just did the check right there and then.

12 miles down the road it will stop and burn to the ground.

I would love to see the extent of how megafucked the car's... everything is after that. It's Dubai, though, so I'm guessing it was already supposed to be a single use vehicle.

Do that in an ICE….

All this time I thought only the Lotus Esprit could imitate a submarine.

Q Branch is calling ...

Probably the Tyacan Exclusive Design wheels - the only OEM wheels which are directional (and therefore asymmetric), and all would be shifting water outwards from the wheel wells.
