Taycan GTS Sport Turismo ST. My very first impressions

[Ipercool]

I regret having to write this in English and not in Italian, sadly I think that in my broken English the nuances of what I mean might be lost..... Anyway:

- Even if you look at this car a lot of times, every time you look at it you see something you haven't seen before.
- Even if you drive this car every day, each time you drive it it gives you back some feeling that you hadn't perceived the previous time.
- This car should be a mortification of physics and instead it is the apotheosis of physics.
- This car should be aseptic but it's the one with the most "beating heart" I've ever had.
- This car is abosolutely beautiful when it is very clean, it is absolutely beautiful when it is very dirty.

This car is imperfect, I love it for that too.

P.S. I just did a 1,400km trip in Italy (South of Rome to Milan and back) and I survived.

You have perfectly captured the essence of Porsche!

It only needs a OEM fake V8 sound from the Porsche factory instead of the electric sound.

Sometimes we forget that. Nothing is perfect. Enjoy things for what they are, instead of what they are not or could be. Congrats! Don't forget to share photos

 

[Ipercool]

A volte lo dimentichiamo. Niente è perfetto. Goditi le cose per quello che sono, invece di quello che non sono o potrebbero essere. Congratulazioni! Non dimenticare di condividere le foto

I met another all black Taycan in a charging station on the A1 - Roma-Milano

@Ipercool congratulations on your new GTS. Your comments are beyond words, they convey feeling and passion!

I’m sure that’s your heart beating when you look back at your car.

I love your write up. Very beautiful. Things like this make me smile so much, and make the wait see 'worth it.' I am at the stage where for my sanity I am ignoring the bad and deciding to only believe the good

 

[Tsingtao]

Mama Mia, I agree! The Taycan is indeed a work of art, one that is really, really fun to drive.

 

[wurzitup]

Your English is perfect and only as an Italian could write it. Bellisima!

 

[Ipercool]

Even completely wet from the rain it doesn't look so bad ...

Some sour notes:

- Counter-intuitive forward/rear control lever, for me "above" it makes you think more easily "forward" and vice versa for "below", but instead it is the opposite.
- Images provided by the rear camera are unrealistic, worse than the others had so far.
- Brake pedal with unnatural behavior under braking - partial release - new braking situations.
- Proximity sensors are not very progressive compared to those of other brands.
- Automatic high beams come on too seldom for my taste.
- I don't know why, but it must be me, every time I look for something in the user manual I don't find exactly what I'm looking for but a thousand of other similar things.
- I would like more choice and flexibility in the combinations of the data that can be shown in the three quadrants of the main screen.
- The Porsche navigator is too easily out of whack when it has to quickly manage information about charging stations.
- Cover of the compartment between the two front seats does not stand up by itself, but everyone already knows that.

I love the colour choice… although I may be biased!

Bellissima , complimenti!
