Lady Gaga "A-Yo" (from "JoAnne").

Just as you enter the first highway on-ramp...

"Here we go!
I can't wait to smoke them all
Whole pack like Marlboro
Blow it in your face
Blow it in your face
Blow it in your, blow it in your face
I can't wait to rev you up
Faster than you can say "Ferrari"
Tearin' up the gravel
Watch you unravel
Now it's a party!"

That first drive home... and the first song to play on the cars sound system.

Which song did you play? Or are planning to play when you take delivery of the car?

“Electric Sport Sound” doesn’t count :)
Collected my Taycan yesterday, minimal handover so no “this is how you do that”
And I couldn’t make the car read music from my phone so I played...
Nothing.
All sorted now though!

Just picked up my turbo s and listened to the sport sound in awe for like 20 minutes then I believe it was goosebumps from Travis Scott since that was the station the Sirius xm was set to lol

I’ll start playing:

Ariana Grande - Break up

... to test the bass on the Burmester

Then I hopefully get:

Goosebump (HVME)

... and will test the:

Spirit (Toydrum & Gavin Clark)

... of the cars performance :)

I left the stereo off on my way home.

Awaiting delivery in September, but this is the drive home plan: Also Sprach Zarathustra (Strouss) - also know as 2001 a Space Odyssee.

Nice piece but the dynamic range of a car system doesn’t do a good recording of it justice since even in a Taycan the background noise level is about 30dB too high to hear all of the music. It is the bass which is masked first by road noise so you either lose it or have to have artificially boosted bass in a car.
I use the stereo to play limited dynamic rock music or DR compressed classical (classic FM) on long journeys to avert boredom.

The car's audio system can't do it, but if you have grooved lane departure rumble strips in your road, you can get the car to the correct speed pull out of the lane and get a pretty impressive Bottom C note from the tires then pull back into the lane as the brass comes in.
