I would love to see one of those drag racing videos (and other head to head comparisons) with these match ups:

RWD vs 4S

RWD with PB using sports mode vs RWD with PB+ using sport plus

Who can make this happen???

As some folks have mentioned, some of the PB performance stats dont make a lot of sense.

Is there a difference in the Performance Battery? You mention PB and PB+ or did you just want to see the comparison with Sport mode vs sport plus?

See here https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/anyone-have-standard-battery-in-taycan-rwd-feedback.6430/

I have been following messages that there are performance differences between both PB+ and sports chrono but seems they are minor.
I went with the bigger battery and sports chrono. I wanted the ability to dial in the mode on the steering wheel and I like the look on the dash. I debated the bigger battery as it was almost $5k extra. I am not sure how long I will keep the car and figured it added value to the car and looking at where I live and drive (north of you an hour or so) the chargers are not really plentiful, the extra range would be helpful.

I'll ask a local guy if he wants to race his 4S vs. my RWD with chrono and PB+.

Hard to tell from Instagram post. 4S a bit faster off the line that RWD, but the RWD and 4S don't seem that far apart when turning the corner.

Porsche UK's numbers:
4S:

Acceleration 0-99 mph (0-160 km/h) with Launch Control (Performance Battery) 8.7 s
Acceleration 0-99 mph (0-160 km/h) with Launch Control (Performance Battery Plus) 8.5 s

RWD:

Acceleration 0-99 mph (0-160 km/h) with Launch Control (Performance Battery) 11.5 s
Acceleration 0-99 mph (0-160 km/h) with Launch Control (Performance Battery Plus) 11.0 s


2.5 seconds RWD PB+ vs 4S PB+ at 100 mph is a BIG gap. Many, many car lengths. RWD will get walked hard.

.5 for the PB+ vs PB RWD is not insignificant, math says 2-3 car lengths.

Happy to run anyone local in my PB+ 4S for research :)
