Hi everyone,
This is my first post, happy to be here and eager to get a Taycan for my Bday next month.
Currently I drive a 2018 Panamera Turbo S Hybrid which is a really good car and an AMG GT that sleeps in the garage.
Reading how amazing the Taycan is, it might replace both cars.
Many of you had this dilemma, what Taycan to buy, 4S or Turbo?
If I hadn't experienced 680 hp in the Panamera I would go for 4S but now it might feel slow and not as special as a Turbo.
From what I read Turbo drives like a 4S on Sport Mode, more direct, more urgent. If that's about it I can put it on Sport when I want to feel like driving a Turbo.
I do 3-4 road trips every year when range is priority and 4S has 15% better range, this might make it more comfortable during ski trips.
What about the Range Mode on Turbo, there's any difference in efficiency? On the same trip/speed the motors should draw same power as on 4S.
These are my current options on the used car market with some comments:
1. https://finder.porsche.com/de/de-DE/details/porsche-taycan-4s-gebraucht-4VER7Q
Nicely specced 2021 4S with sport design, HUD, but only RWS, no PTV/PDCC, passenger display. I would try to retrofit the race-tex headliner. Config 160k
2. https://finder.porsche.com/de/de-DE/details/porsche-taycan-4s-gebraucht-NWQ989
Highly specced 2021 4S with all performance options but no sport sound and race-tex headliner. Config 162k
3. https://finder.porsche.com/de/de-DE/details/porsche-taycan-turbo-gebraucht-ZG6RME
2020 green Turbo, cool color but not entirely sold on it, 18k more than 4S, no ACC, I would love to have Burmester sound and carbon trim for the extra money. Config 186k
4. https://finder.porsche.com/pl/pl-PL/details/porsche-taycan-turbo-nowy-J23VGK
2021 black Turbo, hard to keep it clean but I would wrap it, 20k more, Olea atacama beige with neodyme looks expensive, Burmester, almost full except no ACC. Config 197k
5. https://finder.porsche.com/fr/fr-FR/details/porsche-taycan-turbo-doccasion-KWVOGM
2020 silver Turbo, cheapest Turbo only 6k more than 4S's but higher mileage and interior wear, missing PDCC and lack of noise insulated glass might be noisy. Config 184k
I would like to know what would you pick and why.
Thanks in advance!
