Does the base Taycan have a double-wishbone suspension? Or is it only with the air suspension[1]?

Yes, double wishbone is on the front of all Taycan's. The air suspension is just shocks with air bladders, in place of the spring on the strut.

The non air suspension strut uses a steel spring.

Edmund has a great video going over the details of the Taycan suspension. Even goes into thing like motion ratio. Definitely worth the watch.

Most of the time heard that not that much of difference between the two(for those who had the chance comparing!)
I went on avoiding the air one for following reasons:

- i do not have any problems of sidewalk hight or so ... never need the lifting function
- one less click button on the dash (finger prints )
- i understood that there is a slight special feeling when it comes on braking (with regular brakes) ...air suspension tend to bring a floating feeling from front compare to springs....
(Maybe it is not 100%true...)
- i ve chosen to put that amount (rwd ie. air is optional) in another optional

Performance wise... it surely not affect the overall perf of the car (spring or air) it is porsche...
