Thought some on the board would be interested in this.

I know there was footage of the vehicle earlier. Looks like @Dave EV will have a new track car for the future!

And who said Germans don't have a sense of humor?!!!!!!!!

I thought it was pretty funny.

It seems Auto Express have read the story, copied it and added their usual bit of guesswork.

Like they think it's likely to cost more than a Turbo S.
Who'd have thought that!

The question is, what will it be called?
Taycan Turbo S Plus?

Obviously it will be called Taycan Tdi

They say those wheels won’t make it into production whereas Porsche have been supplying winter tyres on those rims for years

Fortunately or unfortunately, Taycan is the test mule for Porsche EV development. So far, the “test” is going really well. It really doesnt matter much to Porsche as to whether or not they release a “Taycan Turbo S+” or a “Taycan Turbo GT” (those are my votes for naming btw), its all about what they learn that can be put into the EVs in the rest of the line-up. Personally, I am not interested in that level of HP…regardless of model. However, I am very interested in what Porsche does with this tech on the 718 and 911 EVs of the future.

Be awesome if Porsche can squeeze 1K with 2 motors.
