Probably, but depends on the specs of the base/S. I am curious to learn more about that. Would you think the Chinese 2WD specs would become the worldwide ones?i think 4S will still be the 'pick' of the range
A GTS would definitely be a great addition. The sweet spot, in my humble opinion, between as 4S heavily specced towards performance and a pricier Turbo...Yes, it is probably the base model with RWD. The drift king
Later this year, the GTS version will be added.
Thes S designation with the two-speed transmission leaves room for a single-speed lower cost model (FWD range king?).From what I've seen, they are planning to announce it officially before the end of the month (however it wasn't clear if it's for the EU market, US market, etc..) and it wasn't clear if it was an S or a base.
Don't see Porsche producing a FWD car at this point lolThes S designation with the two-speed transmission leaves room for a single-speed lower cost model (FWD range king?).
I think that it will be a 2021/2022 MY and with the same battery and tech as the rest of the Taycans. But with more Racetex details of course and a lot, or all, of the performance options included.A GTS would definitely be a great addition.

I guess we'll wait and see!! Imagine if it's a 2023 model with a better battery performance....
I think it has to handle like a Porsche, and FWD would not do that. I agree that the RWD will be fine. I find the range great on a Taycan now, you can just use Range Mode on the 4WD if you want efficiency for freeway/motorway driving. I hope Porsche is not intending to compete on price with companies that are OK with 1% profit margins before selling EV credits. That would be a loosing deal. So they will leave the low end to VW withe the ID.X series and Audi in the middle.Don't see Porsche producing a FWD car at this point lol
However, a single-speed smaller motor in the rear would be cheaper, lighter, and longer range.I think it has to handle like a Porsche, and FWD would not do that. I agree that the RWD will be fine.

That's my take anyway.
