Came out the farm shop to find this magnificent beast parked up next to me...originally his Dad's car. Apparently it has onboard hydraulic jacks at each wheel.
(Not so much a "Versus" but even less of an artistic scenic photo, I just wanted to celebrate the interesting juxtaposition).
I'd recently noticed in YouTube reports on Porsche days at several European circuits that Porsche use a fleet of Taycans to show people around the track. Now I've been planning my next session at Silverstone, I see that the Taycan, in all its gen 1 variants, is the only non-2-door Porsche on...
Q3 2023 is the most recent period for which data has been published.
I cut the list- the source continues in descending order beyond the Eletre.
Audi E-TRON only appears once, so presumably anything with that badge is lumped in to the one line.
I'm curious to see how, as a percentage of the base (i.e. before cost options) price new, they compare with the 66% of base price (ignoring cost options) I was quoted late 2021 for a CT 4S and CT Turbo, after 3 years at 6k annual miles. If I weren't intending to keep this car longer, I'd be...
Live your dream as Birkin with goggles or Steed in a bowler hat. Perfect for taking the dog to the park (unless it's raining).

Despite the title, I didn't see any mention of the tested real-world range...but I found this bit interesting:
"All of which, says Giek, is why we can’t expect a sub-2000kg Taycan in the near future: “Not with current tech. You have to use carbonfibre, but then it’s not a Taycan any more, then...
Not news to us, but good that there is at least acknowledgement of the media campaign to feed the easily-manipulated. What the government does to counter it is another matter.

I've been told that my Porsche dealership only provides a tyre storage receipt for the amount I pay for the service, not a description of the items (specific wheels, tyres, hub covers). After several weeks, I've managed to get an email acknowledgment of what I told them were the items.
I'm...
Not sure which section to post this in (Admins feel free to move it)

In track driving at full throttle, when taking a nearly flat-out corner (so not a common scenario), when it might be better to transfer weight by braking while staying on full throttle, how does the Taycan react to those inputs- does it give one pedal priority and ignore the other, or try and...
After doing a video about the UK EV values crash, reviewer buys a MY23 Taycan for £66k.
Notably, in another video about his car (apparently with 20" wheels) he says that the ride comfort isn't far off that of a Wraith.
Review after 7 days of ownership-
I found this an interesting take, though I find his prosody* rather distracting.
(*yes, I did have to find the right word to use and now hope to remember it long enough to use it again).
He's obviously loving it, and it seems a very competent car, though its USP seems to be offering thr most ICE-like experience from an EV. Personally I think the control interface and its configuration look overwhelming- not in a good way- and for all that drift optimisation functionality it...
I decided to familiarise myself with the free Porsche Track Precision app (for Android phones or the other one) as a potentially useful tool for my upcoming track tuition course. Not only does it automatically recognise and lap time many circuits (and can easily be taught additional ones), it...
😮 It's a LEGO BMW i8 Jaguar i-pace taxi kind of thing...and I salute it. :clap:
Sad that it's not lined up for the UK- not that I want to buy one, but the more interesting-looking cars on the road, the better as far as I'm concerned.
Sadly, the only 2 examples of this World Rallycross special EV have just been destroyed by a fire while they were being charged at a Championship round.

This was the first I'd heard of their existence...
