That dyno test is Interesting. If (admittedly a pretty big IF!) I'm interpreting the chart and understanding the test method correctly, the car maintains a pretty constant maximum power (blue line) which has been measured at the wheels over a broad rev range. The red line is an estimate of motor power, which I assume is plotted by adding the green line (power lost overcoming friction) to the blue line. With an ICE, the green line would have been plotted by measuring the car decelerating, unbraked, in neutral. Presumably this part of the test was done with the Taycan shifted to Neutral- but does "neutral" in a Taycan enable a representative model of power loss between motor and wheels?Everybody knows Porsche is conservative about their numbers but these guys found 700+hp WITHOUT LC on a Turbo S:
EDIT- I've now found a thread from 2020 that discusses power and torque plots for Turbo v Turbo S- I don't know the source of the data, but it is summarised "If you look at the small red dots I have put on the torque graph, you will see that the turbo S has approximately 6% more torque up to approximately 62kph. After 62KPH both the torque and horsepower seem to be identical between the two cars when not in launch control.
It seems that on the turbo S, in non launch mode, Porsche has elected to reduce the amount of torque from the rear motor in order to make up for the higher torque from the front motor, so that after 62KPH it is equal to the turbo."
