So after initially placing my order in September 2021 I took delivery yesterday (27/7/2022) of my Taycan Turbo S. This car is an absolute dream to drive, from the quality of the finish to the insane amount of power it generates. Very happy customer here, I think I stood in my lawn for an hour last night just looking at it.

Stunning. My colour of choice for the saloon - as is those incredible RS Spiders.

We evidently have the same exquisite taste.

Congrats and enjoy!

Brilliant news Paddy!

Two important points:

1. Don’t leave 2.3tonne on the grass too long or it’ll have Taycan dimples

And

2. Don’t forget to wave when you cruise past my plain old Crayon Turbo 🤣

Good health to enjoy!

Congrats fellow Paddy, delighted to see this car in the flesh. I am just about to freeze my order request (delivery due Jan 2023) and have been torn (& have literally been flopping between) choosing Crayon & Dolomite Silver and Spyder vs Exclusive design wheel. Great to see these photo's and your car looks the real biz so well done and happy driving.

You seems to have gone for black interior not the two tone black/crayon which i have spec'ed ?

Did you consider black door handles as an option ? My dealer has been suggesting these so you have clean line of black gloss along the middle but seeing yours..... :)

Really nice, went with the black callipers I see. Do you still get free charging in Ireland? I worked in Dublin for a while and drove my wife's i-Pace over when I was moving out and it was all free.

"Very happy customer here, I think I stood in my lawn for an hour last night just looking at it."
the taycan oozes 21c design!
but it looks like your dog's now feeling 2nd class :oops:

that's a beauty, the Spyder wheels nicely complement the body color;
the saloon/sedan is the starkest taycan (my biased opinion)!

@snb7x I'll certainly look out for you, and there is nothing plain about a turbo 😅

so I had originally picked mamba green, but decided to change to crayon when my spec was locking in, the RS Spyder wheels sort of made that decision for me (which are dished at the back). Pictures don't really do the colour justice but in the flesh I'm very happy with the choice.

I went black interior because for me the exterior of the car should contrast the interior. Crayon interior won't do that and I'm not a fan of red interiors so again made the choice easy. I did add crayon seatbelts though and the embossed crest so it's not boring. I did consider the black door handles but removed them in the end because of the lighter colour. Interior pics below:

@sbarker108 not sure on the free charging. You will probably hate me when you hear this but until my garage is built I will mostly likely charge the car from an old plug in a work shed we use for a welder. It's 32amp so I think it will fully charge overnight, that remains to be seen.

Thanks @paddy, sound like I am going on a similar mamba/crayon decision 'journey' like yourself at the moment but will end somewhere good as all great choices and just comes down to personal choice now. Thanks a lot for the photo's, really been helpful. Best of luck with your car. Cheers

Congrats Paddy the car looks stunning! Just wondering have you considered going all black with the RS Spyder wheels as in having them sprayed? I'm collecting a RWD in Carmine Red in January and undecided on which alloy to go with. I've seen your alloy finished in gloss and matte black and really looks the part.

@Frankhy I did ask about adding the black GTS wheels instead but my SA said this wasn't possible. It was possible to buy them after and swap out the wheels but he said you were talking in the region of 10k for black GTS wheels from Porsche. I think it would look amazing in black but I won't have my RS Spyders sprayed.

(biased, but) IMHO the black door handles give you a "dashed" line along the middle which distract from the subtle lines of the beautiful body that is taycan

How on earth is your grass so green…in the middle of a drought in Western Europe? Mine is as brown as Mahogany Metallic…Great car by the way, just saw a Crayon 4S on the road and looked, like yours, great! Still awaiting lock date for my Turbo, note your long wait, so wont hold my breath.

Great to see another Turbo S "on the island"!

EagerIy waiting mine – I was going with Crayon but recently flipped it back to Neptune Blue (same as my 4S).

I don't think I'd ever spec the black callipers on the carbon ceramic's but they work well with your car.
