2022 Porsche Taycan GTS Quick Review // Red Hot Chili Porsche 

“It’s in. I promise it’s in.” Funny shit. You guys are great!

i love how James kept hitting Thomas with the surprise accelerations LOL

My favorite cut ending of all so far!

Love how James is Auto Rainman for all statistics, car colors, pricing,...

"ever since I started going to swingers parties" 😂😂😂

Starting to see quite a few Taycans around, such a great car

The ending 🤣

All things considered, Porsche is the greatest car manufacturer in the world

I get easily 450 km range with my 4S, last summer I was able to get over 500 km twice. In normal driving. Last summer we drove from Finland to Italy and range was more than sufficient. Fast Ionitys all over and none charging problems whatsoever. This is such a great car and worth every euro imho.

I cannot believe this isn't THE car review channel. Incredible intros and outros, straight to the point with good criticisms. Great shots and camera angles. Audio is great. These two have the formula down like no other. It's impressive. Nice work.

The humor in this video was on point! 🤣

James: Ever sense I stopped going to swingers parties…cuts video. I hate them 🤣 keep it up y’all!

I own a GTS and the range isn’t that big of deal for me. The other day I went from 7% to 85% battery in 22 min on a 350kw charger. If you want to take it on a long trip you have to stop for 22 min. Get some food, no big deal. The car comes with 3 years of free charging too. It is the greatest car I’ve ever owned. It looks 1000 times better than a Lucid Air & the EQS.

I always thought that the skipping numbers thing was purely because the numbers are on screen long enough to actually read. The idea being that you just glance at it, so if it's effectively scrolling then you wouldn't really be able to read the 2nd digit, so a slightly laggy number is better than that.

Who else caught the “spiderman? It’s not his last name.” Friends quote. “It’s not Phil Spiderman”

The wagon in the gts trim is the real sweet spot👌🏻

James, what kind of parties have you started going to? 🤔

I got my Lucid GT a few weeks back (the 'slow' 800hp version). I got the same thing as the Taycan when plugged into a regular wall outlet in my garage. That same outlet has fully charge a Nissan Leaf and a Chevrolet Volt overnight but plugged in for 24 hours straight I _Lost_ 1 mile of range on the Lucid. 240V plug now on order. Love that Lucid, BTW.

Is the main channel or the extra channel?

I'm sorry... Ever since you started going to what parties, James? 🤣🤣

Since you didn’t make it the title of this video: the GTS is usually considered as the sweet spot of every Porsche model.

I can pick mine up in 1-2 weeks. I’m excited after this video.

2:06 Thomas roasting James's pronunciation of Spiderman was beautiful. "It's not his last name" killed me. Implying that Spiderman's name may have been something like Andy Spiderman.

Just saw a 4S at my gym the other day, it was in that beautiful nardo gray-ish color with the bronzed out rims. From the styling to the engineering, this car is a work of art. I don't think pictures or videos can do it proper justice in any capacity.

Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite RU-vid channel by far.

This time Thomas is wearing a Speedy!!

2k videos in future please! Best car channel in entire RU-vid! Keep up the good work guys!

That ending is the best one yet.

Love the Speedy Pro!!! Love y’all’s content!!!!

Cheers Guys, big fan for years from Vienna/Austria. The front facia/spoiler is a "sport" - option you can have for any Taycan. You always make me giggle a lot in your reviews, very good writing aside. Obviously there's no writing in Extra Throttle House 😂. Keep up the good work boys!

Glad to see u guys r back

The first lucid airs have started rolling out. I live in south Florida and we had one in the valet lot at the airport.

I've never wanted an EV more than this one 😍 especially in that red 😍

James is actually a lot smarter than how he acts. Witty jokes and knows all the information lol

Great video! And great roads - I was able to recognise them. I often go there too!

The range of the Taycan is really not a big problem in Germany and Western Europe. Basically Porsche wanted to keep weight down and rather put a lot of engineering into its 440V architecture and fast chagrining capabilities: charging at up to 270 kW DC. On any German Motorway you will find 250+ changers at most motorway stations, making a stop 10 - 20 minutes to get it back up to 80%. So from Berlin to Munich, you might need one more stop, but these stops are shorter than most rivals of its time. And on a daily commute, the range doesn't matter at all and you will enjoy the handling a lot more. All that said, if you are in countries without a dense CCS network (like northern America) that is a problem and makes range a very real argument.

That ending 😂 amazing work guy's!

The reason why a display, such as a speed display, may have a delay is because it's measuring frequency and the counter gating time is dependent on the desired resolution and input frequency. So it comes down to the gearing of the speed sensor and how many pulses there are per revolution of the final drive. I'm not sure what constraints there would be on the speed sensor gearing but my point is there are reasons why frequency measurements are not instantaneous.

Gute Einordnung des GTS. Es hat wie immer Spaß gemacht Euch 2 zu sehen. Grüße aus Deutschland!

Whew, thanks for reaffirming my choice of the Taycan GTS, can’t wait for mine to arrive next month!

I love the not the main channel but extra channels content

What a beautiful color ❤️

I see more on the road around here - beautiful - you guys should do a road trip and film it you guys are very entertaining together

Hilarious ending!

Being a Taycan turbo S owner for over a year I have to say I couldn’t go any lower in power I’m so addicted to it. That said I would like to try the GTS to see what makes it a driver‘s car. These cars are definitely precision driving instruments. It feels like you can do anything in them.

5:05 indeed not an easy way to plug it (at least the first time)! Nice review, thank you for sharing! 🔌⚡🚘

Great video guys

I drove the taycan 4S and the driving experience was unmatched by anything else i've driven... just the speed, quality, and precision of it was unreal, especially being such a big and heavy sedan. It was better than the panamera in every way to me. Porsche's engineering is top notch.

I don't often laugh out loud, because I am old and cynical and ornery. This review made me LOL multiple times. I love this channel for that.

Peak modern automobile; agreed. Upgrade to the Sport Turismo for the ultimate Dad's car. I ADORE mine.

I love how casually James chucks it into a corner

I saw one of these a couple nights ago in wagon bodystyle. Shit was fawkin hot.

Pretty sure Dodge does have realtime updating speedos in at least some of their cars. I've seen videos of them and it's just way better. I don't know why almost no one else does it, especially with performance cars like that Taycan and what not.

i love this spec ⚡️

Great review, and I love the channel, you guys bring such a light hearted take to these while still taking the cars seriously. As an EV owner, i can say the most overrated thing is range (once you get to a very comfortable usable daily point of course, which for me I think is about 200 miles). Charging speed is more important for real long road trips, and day to day 200 miles is plenty for anyone that has level 2 charging at home overnight. Taycan charges faster than pretty much any car on the road, making it about as good for road trips as any other EV other than, admittedly, a road trip of about 300 miles where a Lucid or long range S would not need to have a charging stop at all until destination, but once you’re through leg 1 it’s all about charging speed. Check out Kyle/Out of Spec’s race to Vegas, really highlighted this point. Love the channel, and man that Taycan is a sweet looking car.

No sir I’ve bought a Porsche to stand out I want red hot chilly pepper!

Being able to whistle the hunger games theme is super cool.

First ever EV I've seen is the Taycan. It looks pretty damn slick

If you get a chance to test the Taycan Sport Tourismo, please do a direct comparison to the Panamera hybrid Sport Tourismo. Would love to see a real comparison of the 2 (which for some reason not many make) and an honest opinion of which one you would choose and what the pros/cons are?

love the ending :D

That end is priceless 😂😂😂😂

Nice speedmaster Thomas 👌

Have a Rubystar Sport Turismo GTS waiting to get on a truck to Toronto!!! Man I can’t wait!!!!

It's sad to see the color in Thomas' allegedly favorite shirt slowly fade :) I have one that looks exactly like it and I'm going through the same :) But on a serious note - great extra as always.

The ending was hilarious

In the US, the Taycan GTS starts at $135,550. The Lucid Air Touring starts about $116K with options you can spec. now (cars coming late 2022, eventually as cheap as $107,400--maybe), or you can step up to the Air Grand Touring, which starts at $154K but is available now. Knowing Porsche's affinity for options gouging, I'm guessing the closer final comparison is the latter Lucid. Anyway, EPA range for the GTS is not final, but it should be around 220 miles (the Turbo gets 212mi, and 4S goes 227mi). The Air Touring reaches 406 mi (also not final), and the Grand Touring 516 mi. The GTS does 0-60 in 3.5 sec, Air Touring in 3.2 sec, and Grand Touring in 3.0 sec with the standard powertrain. GTS HP is 509 (590 with launch control overboost), Air Touring makes 620 HP, and Air Grand Touring 819 HP standard. As much as I like the Taycan, that short range makes it best for local trips, and I think it will quickly make the model obsolete, at least in this price bracket. I could accept the small rear seats for the amazing authentic Porsche handling, but given that the Lucid is a handler as well, I think you'd be a fool not to choose it over something that's already a generation behind.

I love this channel. The jokes are absolute perfection

Portland, JAMAICA in The Building !!!!

Best ending of any of your videos 😂

When Thomas said that the speedometer skipped numbers “for some German reason?” Made me squirt my drink out of my nostrils. 😂

I think the Taycan GTS is the perfect combination of performance / drive engagement .. about the range, range it’s perfect for 99% of the time, and when you need fast charging in a road trip for example, you can charge from 5-80% in 22 minutes, after driving 2-3 hours. I actually believe the charge is faster then we actually need in a regular road trip .. stop for bathroom and buy a bottle of water is 5-10 min … and that will give you another 100 miles of range !!!

Love anything Porsche badged GTS

Cracked me up at the end, literally lost it right there!

They make 2022 Taycans not in Chalk White or Nardo Grey?

Best looking ev...one of the best looking cars FULL STOP..!!

That ending! 😂😂😂

It's beautiful

THAT OPENER! LOL!!!!! Any word on the Lotus Emira review? I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

“Sorry officer the last time I looked”😂😂

I'm glad someone pointed out the low refresh rate of the speedometer. It's one of the little things that Tesla does better than anyone else.

That ended too soon but beautifully!

Messtechnik-engineer here(itsa german word that pretty much means measurement technologies). the reason for the speedo not being so accurate is pretty much the scan rate related. higher the scan rate you have, the more accurate it will be. but it will require higher refresh rate screens to be able to adapt, and more powerfull processors to calculate. now im not saying cost difference is huge, but its just enough that if you are producing thousands of vehicles it is significant. if you are really curious we are nevertheless physically limited to accurate measurement of speed. its called heisenberg principle, meaning we cant know the speed and location of a sample at the same time very accurately. a simple thing like measuring speed is actually a very complex phenomenon when you dive deep into it. for anyone who are even more curious and can speak german : read the book Elektrische Messtechnik von Elmar Schrüfer, Leonhard M. Reindl, Bernhard Zagar. its a piece of art really. having a bsc or msc on engineering would be helpfull to understand the book.

Can you compare the tycan Turbo s vs Tesla plaid? Not just the speed straight line but all the stuff you guys compare and review

The ending 😂👏

Great video, and review - as always. However, lately noticing that the sound is very low. Watching on iPad and have to put volume near 90% and then d@mn adverts come in blaring….I would say it is about 20% lower sound volume than most yt videos I watch…cheers 🇨🇦

Porsche and the half a million model, trim and power levels

I would get it as a Cross Tourismo, best drivers EV on the market. When will they release the next Gen? Anybody knows?

Dude, the ending! XD

I would love to see a review of the cross tourismo to see how much better the head room is in the back and how much to handling is affected

"I promise you it s in!" 😂😂

Best ending ever 😂😂😂😂

Nice Speedmaster Thomas ,,,,

You should review the challenger RT it’s the one below the scat pack it’s such a bargain!

The abrupt ending 😂🤣

I had always thought that having an EV would be fun at first and then quickly get boring...until I rode in a Taycan 4S. It was so fast, so smooth and honestly the weird EV noises it makes are kind of cool. I don't think it would fully scratch the enthusiast car itch but it is one hell of a car if you can afford it.

lol the ending

Level 1 charing is really only for emergencies. It basically a trickle charge to maintain the batteries in these newer longer range cars. Think of it as a spare tire. No wonder most manufacturers stopped including them.

Did he just said that he stopped going at swingers parties ?🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great video- Please do a 4s Cross Turismo review. Many of us enthusiasts love "wagons" and an EV Performance version is ver appealing.

To answer James, the reason speed doesn't instantly update is because of the type of speedometer. When the speed is displayed with a needle, if you accelerate a lot, you can read your speed in an instant because the numbers are static and the needle is relatively slow which is simple to see. If you want to accelerate to 60km/h, you simply look at the 60 on your speedometer while pushing the pedal until the needle reaches it. When the speed is displayed with a number, if you accelerate a lot, you can't read your speed in an instant because the numbers change too fast and are complex shapes to see. If you want to accelerate to 60km/h, you can't look at the numbers because they will appear blurry unless you accelerate slow enough that your eyes can tell the numbers properly. Basically, just move your fingers very fast in front of you. They will be blurry despite going nowhere near as fast as the numbers in a speedometer. To avoid that, speedometers skip numbers so each number gets displayed a longer amount of time in order for you to read it. Otherwise, you just have a tornado in your face when you touch the acceleration pedal. P.S.: This is mostly relevant with electric cars where the acceleration is high since a higher acceleration means a faster change in numbers. P.S.: Less display updates also lets them cheap out on the hardware.
