"The Taycan—rounding out a strong showing for electric cars in this year’s program—claimed both the World Luxury Car citation—beating out the Mercedes Benz EQC and its stablemate, the Porsche 911—and it also claimed the World Performance Car nod. For that it beat out again its own stablemates, the Porsche 718 Spyder/Cayman GT4, and, again, the Porsche 911. For those curious about how a manufacturer can sweep category nominations like that, it all comes down to anonymous, independently tabulated voting. Porsche just had a supremely strong roster of products this year, and the Taycan was its biggest hit.
I’ve driven the Taycan on two occasions, including a serious thrashing on Angeles Crest Highway in New York, and found it stunningly capable, and a thrilling ride from start to finish. I sometimes quibble with my fellow jurors about the final selections, but this is one of those times when I wholeheartedly agree. The Taycan is an exceptional product, engineered to the nines and a Porsche to the bone."
