Taycan 4S CT playing in the snow

[cccmanhattan]

Not sure if this is the right place, but I had a great time Monday playing in the snow at Lime Rock Park with the members at Classic Car Club Manhattan. Grabbed a charge 40 miles away to get up to 95% so I'd have plenty of juice to play. Topped up on the L2 chargers while I was there and grabbed a 10 minute quick charge topup on the way home to give me some buffer.

Most importantly, the car was an absolute monster in the snow... made it through anything and would go in whatever direction I pointed it (with a couple fistfulls of opposite lock if so invoked).

Good times.

You should get in touch with Porsche to see if they want to use those pics in their marketing materials, fantastic shots!

I had to go narrower than stock on the rears to work with what was available.

Thanks for sharing. Great pictures. Given that we've got a rare snowy day in North Texas, happy to see what you can do in the winter conditions. Any problem with high centering?

Sorry, not sure I know what you mean by high centering?

It’s basically turning the car into a teeter totter. Car gets stuck on snow mound right in the middle between the front and rear axles so the drive wheels can’t do their thing.

No issues at all with that, no. The high mode is pretty high and the snow, but I even ran it on low sometims. The snow was pretty soft and with the AWD and those Pirreli snow tires, it would pretty well tear through anything.

Got it. Good to hear your positive impressions of the Taycan CT on snow performance. Now what was your best lap time at Lime Rock??

We got some snow here during last week. In here I'm picking our tractor+snowblower from barn to get rid of the snow.
No - I'm not stuck at all in this photo! T4S + Hakkapeliitta R3's work very well together!

Did you have the PTV+ or RAS options?
