Car and Driver Tested: 2020 Taycan 4S Shines as a Driver's EV. Instrument Tested Performance Figures

[SwissTaycan]

So good news for me that lives in Switzerland, where just a few mph too much can get you bankrupt and/or in jail

Indeed!!!!! The first time I floored it to get an the A3 I hit my head on the seat and also thought: slow down or you will not keep your license.

Indeed we have draconic driving laws here. If you become a repeat offender they start looking at your income and assets. There was once the report of a Saudi prince who ended up paying a CHF 2.3 (or maybe it was "just" CHF 1.3 million) speeding fine in the Geneva area. That is over USD 1.4 million on the lower number!!!

Kreshi enjoy the car when it arrives!!!!!!!

I always wondered what the real world 0-60 time was for the Taycan, since Porsche likes to underestimate. They measured a 3.4s

I have a 4S. It is fast but in reality 0-60 is not under 4 seconds and you can only get close to 4 sec using launch control.
I think Porsche's official numbers are correct.
I used to have a Macan S that every magazine claimed they measured about 4.5 sec but I never managed below 5.1 sec under any circumstances even with launch control which matched exactly Porsche's number.

Our 1/8 mile drag strip is scheduled to be open Sunday, and if the weather cooperates, I hope to see what those numbers are for myself with my 4S. I’ll share if there is interest.

Yes sir! Did a couple launches, with launch control and without to see the difference. 7.9 without launch control and 7.6 with it. Car is consistent and will do that all day long as has charge.
