Latest “spy” shots with limited camouflage look good. Looking forward to more news flow on the release date!

That would definitely be a nice addition, and make the Turbo GT somewhat more exotic relative to rest of the line-up.

$260k starting price?

Very true. Never realised what a long-term positive effect a great car can have on your life until I bought a Taycan!;)

Bumping up this thread. While the refresh/Gen "1.5" delivers on some important improvements the real excitement is obviously about the next generation of Taycan. Curious to hear views on the target release date, I'd say announcement in Q4 2026 with deliveries starting late Q1 2027:)

Some great points. I’d call the refresh Gen 1.5, more than just superficial changes but principally the same design and technological underpinnings.

Preferably five minutes outside the speed camera-infested 20 mph zones in central London;)

And 7.5p/kWh (using e.g. Intelligent Octopus smart charging) it is also pretty much free to charge, which over time makes a meaningful difference to running cost. By way of comparison, filling up an R8 V10 twice/week costs you around GBP 850 per month.

Bashing for the sake of sensationalism is definitely not graceful, but this has unfortunately become the M.O. for a large percentage of online journalists/contributors nowadays. The topic of steep EV depreciation is starting to become a bit worn out. I made a quick decision after a brief test...

I agree, the refresh changes are additive to Turbo S. For the rest of the line-up, the front now looks more similar to the current version with SportDesign package.

worth every penny for those Whole Foods grocery runs down the street;)

22 year old chef with anger management issues, frequently driving in W1 during rush hour;) Seriously though, UK insurance premiums across many expensive brands seem to be off the charts the last 12 months. Overheard a lady the other week who complained about having been quoted 6k to renew her...

EQS is a completely different experience. Amazing suspension and comfortable, but nowhere near reactive and fun as Taycan. Didn’t like the RAS on it either. Prob great for professional chauffeurs in a big city though:)

Without a shadow of doubt. Has ticked all the boxes for me i) very enjoyable as a daily driver ii) good looks + fairly practical and iii) versatility to go from a comfortable GT for long road trips to a reactive, fast sports car to enjoy on quirky countryside roads. Add to that all the UK tax...

The practice in UK of an intermediary providing an expensive rental vehicle during repairs was something completely unfamiliar to me, until the 4S was in a very minor accident and one of the SportDesign side fins had to be entirely replaced. Suddenly one of the major providers of...

Right time of the year to do this itinerary:) Looks like a fantastic trip.

Had another EV that didn't really do it for me, and came across Taycan when researching alternatives. Saw a few Porsche promotional videos as well as reviews, then test drove the 4S. Was immediately sold on it, so pulled the trigger a week later and haven't looked back since!

Not sure about breakdown servicing, but the Palma OPC was extremely helpful when I had some minor issues over an extended trip last summer.

C Congrats, looks awesome!

In UK the falling knife has a significant corporation tax incentive buffer (writing off depreciation, servicing, insurance cost, extended warranty, charging costs, you name it), but even with that I'd second that if this is a real concern then perhaps think twice before buying a Taycan. Then...
