IMO it looks great (though I decided to turn up the volume and went from Gentian to Frozen Blue for mine with the Bordeaux interior). Now that the 2-tone interiors have more of the black element, I suggest you also option Bordeaux seatbelts.
Here are some examples of happy owners of the...
Curious indeed. I've just compared US and UK configurators, ours still describes the standard as
Partial Leather Interior, Black
With embossed leather in equipment colour Black: - seat centres front and rear - front and rear inner seat bolsters- Steering wheel rim in smooth-finish leather-...
Welcome to the forum and congratulations that you're looking at a Taycan to be your first car.
I'd be very surprised if Porsche changed a colour while keeping the same name (not only would that cause confusion, Porsche maintain a vast catalogue of colours including multiple shades of blue and I...
Also helped by the CT roof spoiler/shroud being in black (particularly on non-dark bodies). If they'd released the ST and CT at the same time, I bet it would have been the ST rather than CT that got this distinguishing feature.
That's a pity- would be nice to be able to hire one for the 1 or 2 day driving courses that include time on the Silverstone circuit proper- but makes sense as Porsche's own facilities don't safely allow the extra performance over the Turbo models to be explored.
It's the same price, but yes, low demand for a 2 seat Taycan will probably hit its resale value. I doubt that either version will hold value as well as an ICE GT, would be interesting to see what Porsche Finance quote for balloon payment or equivalent on finance.
I much prefer the lower proportion of black* in the first gen two-tones. I particularly dislike the headrests now being in black*.
(*= or the alternative colour that is used in the case of some 2-tone schemes)
OT, just to say that I'm enjoying your variety of profile photos, I think they beg a caption competition. Might that be Lella Lombardi or Divina Galica saying "Hey Frank, how do I get my hair to grow as beautifully as yours?"
On twisty roads with uneven or loose surfaces it gives me more confidence that I'll to stay on line around corners (most memorably saving me embarrassment after taking a slight crest and, before the car had settled down from going light, being caught out by the sharpness of an immediate bend).
1 per dealer per year sounds about right, given the expected limited production numbers. IIRC current Turbos and Turbo S's were delivered at up to 1 a month (either one or the other version, not one of each) at many dealers.
When you say "list", is that the mysterious Very Important Customer...
I need to remember that when mine goes in for its first service...I've kept putting back the updates as I've always been keen to get away from previous visits. (I rarely use the audio system, but I don't want to not have my music at hand should I get the impulse to listen to something.)
I've only just noticed that the original news article stated "He now claims he will never get in a Jaguar or an electric car again.", which links to a Torygraph article entitled
The great electric car lie is a monstrous deception against the British public
Ah, the delicious irony.
Statement today from Merseyside Police:
"We can confirm that following an investigation, a man has been arrested in relation to an incident on the M62 on Wednesday, March 6, when officers from the force's Roads Policing Unit were called to help stop a vehicle safely. An investigation, supported...
I agree with @Murph7355 - default in Sport or Sport+ is relatively mild regen braking on lift-off, which IMO is beneficial on track.
EDIT- on further consideration, I recall that for the particular scenario of attempting to maintain a drift on a skid pan, I found it easier to balance on the...
I'd guess prohibitive manufacturing (and independent safety approval?) costs for such a low volume variant, unless they could get away with just welding the read doors shut, which wouldn't be a good or premium look. This version is more akin to letting a race team or tuning house (like...
Even my Turbo, today demoted to being the middle of the Taycan range, can induce a sensation in me that discourages launching it. Heavy vehicles accelerating from a standing start at warp speed while potentially impairing a driver's concentration...what could possibly go wrong?
