FULL FILM: Chris Harris drives The Porsche Taycan Turbo S | Top Gear 

That’s the first thought that came to my mind too!

Love that expression.

Fast charging destroys the battery faster too which is perfectly illustrated here. 3:20

@@RealNameNeverUsed If they have managed it properly, the adverse effect will be greatly lessened.

@@RealNameNeverUsed that's why it has a battery charging control unit for battery protection

Why? It's the de facto market player. It's like reviewing a C-class and not mentioning the 3-series once.

@@ZesPak Is a Camaro ZL1 ILE and A 911 GT3 in the same market (they perform about the same)? No, they are not. Mainly price, but many other reasons also.

@@ZesPak Tesla is the electric halo car but it's not a competitor for the Taycan. Someone in the market for the Taycan is not considering a model s as an alternative. In this electric sports sedan, Porsche is alone at the moment

@@nelsonmarques1334 Someone in the market for a Taycan will be considering a Tesla when they realize there is no where to charge that thing, doesn't have autopilot, has laggy speedometer, and costs 50k more for the same performance.

@@ZesPak That's because the C class and the 3 series are actually similar. The Taycan and the Model S are not.

Not Fast .... Quick, top speed is fast, acceleration is quick ....

Pfft, you didn't take into account drag? And you call yourself a nerd?

@@chrisbraid2907 Terminal velocity is 120 mph. Top speed in the Turbo S is 162 mph. Taycan is both faster and quicker than base jumping.

Well glad to know my immediate "I bet it's quicker than basejumping" reaction holds up.

@@ConnorwithanO Terminal velocity unstreamlined is 120 mph but you can freefall faster , I used to . this is how someone in a dive can catch up to someone spread falling. I reckon I could beat a freecall Taycan....

Very high production values indeed!

Top Gear productions have always been top notch. The BBC ones are even better!

Prettier than a beer commercial.

Yeah, we don't need those 2 clowns who barely know how to drive a car

I don't even know the names of the other two guys.

We Need the old legendes back

Him and Guy Martin. I could watch an entire episode then instead skipping the idiots.

Agreed He’s the Man! I’m surprised he doesn’t have his Own Show??

Showered a praise or?

He's pretty much the only reason they are still afloat.

I liked Chris Harris Before I loved the man after that 2017 Viper ACR Drive though, thats when i knew "yeah, this is the guy"

What's paydirt?

@@m.i.5381 An example is hitting mineral rich soil when mining.

Couldn't stand the guy at first, but for some reason now I think he's a ledge..

They didn't leave, Clarkson was fired for racist comments and assault when he was already on a final warning for his insulting and horrible behaviour of staff at the BBC!

Chris was my favourite way before he joined TG.

@@colors6692 the bbc 😁 the pillar of journalism.

grand tour is good

Why did you need to drag him down like that

Not even close

@@ilcomendante He will never be on the trios level. Don't deceive yourself.

@@tomhigginson6855 , he is quite good on his own not to be compared to others.

​@@mrbasfed1948 he is good as a car journalist but Clarkson invented the comedic and exciting show about cars. Jeremy made that show from the ground up you can't imitate that.

You mean the typical UK weather? Nvm your comment implies regular weather. I read it wrong originally

a chance because it needs A LOT

Ngl I like the sun more just wish texas had a lil more rain like here

@@F82Eric I hate the old self promotion disguised as praise comment. Seen it a thousand times.

I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS not everything is promotional 👍🏽. Has nothing to do with that but I see your point

Tell that to Bill Gates

Or an arm and a leg haha

Hah, nice joke )

"The biggest-ticket organ you can legally sell in the U.S. is your heart: They're going for a cool $1 million. Livers come in second, worth about $557,000 and kidneys fetch about $262,000 each. Widespread diabetes and heart disease is what have made these particular organs so expensive." One kidney is enough actually! wow, now I am tempted.

It's as if he's all 3 into one: Clarkson wit without the shill and corrosiveness, Hammond's enthusiasm but an adult rather than child mind, level-headed May without the bore.

OKAY!!! THATS AWESOME!,!

Yes, more people are killed by inflatable cows than inflatable sharks!

That is exact thing that is going to happen to battery, Elon talked about this

spring bonnie gaming Last seen in a Cardiacs video

7 We’re watching a review of a Porsche so shut yer shit .

Just buy a Taycan ;) :D :D

Haha

micro christ 🤣🤣🤣

Good : it was almost a VW 😁

@@microchrist6122 It was supposed to be a vw; it was designed by Porsche to be built by vw but vw decided they wanted to work on the scirocco or golf (I dont remember which) instead, so Porsche built it, which is why it still had vw/audi parts. The later 924s however was basically a 944 in a 924 body, which I think is a great combination. The 914 was also sort of a volkswagen.

Leon King would love to get a 924s or 944 NA one of these days

Taycan GT2 RS?

I doubt it would be any good for track use, Its too heavy and big. If they made a 2 door version of it or even the new 918 replacement due in a few years, it could work.

@@Ssh52 We shall see, Porsche's engineers could probably come up with something to make it work.

Be sure in the future you will

If anyones likely to make an EV track car its Porsche

Your argument could go either way, but as the horse and car, the tesla is the car. Horses are fine still.

Slavko Glamočanin How is the Tesla the car to Porsche’s horse when Porsche also makes electronic vehicles.

so slower, and less range, and more expensive?

Are Dub Better handling. More fun.

​@@IdFightMyDad yeah that is a great help in la traffic. also, twice the price. for less performance. no autopilot. switches for bitches. pathetic.

Electric cars will never be better when we talking about to enjoy the experience because the sound of the engine make the experience..... To me electric cars are like a movie without music.....

Japlonik said they could be fun but drive all the same way. Boring then

@@lecoureurdesbois86 How many cars have you driven?

@@GETTERoriginal It's all a matter of states of mind. To those of us who grew up with petrol performance cars, sound = performance. I don't hate petrol cars. I am a petrolhead and have been since age 12 (I am 25 now). I love loud cars with big engines but I was intrigued by electric technology after having a go in a Tesla Model S, and after seeing the mission e concept at the Frankfurt auto show, those 4 years felt like an eternity. I love the insane torque as well as the thought that when I press the pedal the car just flies effortlessly, instead of belching and grunting with inefficiency. I know this is a radically different idea and approach to performance cars, and no doubt it will take some time before manufacturers figure out what the soul of an electric car is. The soul of an ICE sports car is hard to beat but we are getting there. At least that's what I think.

@@tbn22 If I say "more than most people" I'm going to look like the ones who brag anyway, but yes quite a few, since I've worked for some dealers Instant torque is fun, but that's all that there is to it

trueee

that's a must

smart move bruh

So Your phone is on ,silent ?

@@ali--fouad exactly, so my boss will stop busting my balls

Peter Pan it is true the infrastructure isn’t cheap. That’s why we need a sustainable infrastructure that is worth it in long term.

Its tricky, the car techology is evolving rapidly, making deciding on what the charging infrastructure needs to be a rapidly moving target. Not good for making decisions on expensive long term infrastructure. As Peter Pan says, it will catch up, but may take a while

@jon doe yes it is. Electric cars would be everywhere by now if it wasn't.

Specially 800 volt charging stations. There are only handful of them around the world.

Lil kush your opinion is trash 🗑 electric is the future. Did you even watch the video?

Wills Chiu Chris is 10 times better then those 3 stooges!

I like Harris more.

jon doe Seeing how that’s your opinion not a fact...... you are wrong he is WAYYYY better than all three!

jon doe I only state facts so I guess yours is false. # I win! 😂

You can get a 240v outlet installed at home and charge in a couple of hours instead of a day using a standard household socket. Most EV owners get the higher power socket installed.

Abacus Fitness and Money top gear was never resurrected. The day clarkson got fired was the day top gear died

beetleframe70 you’re right. This new show is like the nephew of top gear.

Rory is also OK ..

Absolutely not you've clearly never watched the og top gear if you think that Chris is even a fraction as knowledgeable, funny, or enjoyable to watch compared to Clarkson Hammond or May. This show is now an embarrassment to watch and the BBC made the worst decision of their entire career by letting Clarkson go. Long live the Grand Tour!

@jon doe you clearly dont know about chris evans then

Ramaano Muravha This isn’t unique

@@WardenClyff enlighten me wish other car in production beats this fact?

Ramaano Muravha Model 3

@@WardenClyffthat's what Taycan has for snacks

7S POWER Hahahahahahahahahahaha Simply wrong. If it wasn’t for the model 3 there would never be a Taycan. Simply be another combustion porsche. Let’s also take a look at what the model 3 and the model y are capable of on a track and on road. That was a good one!

I've never dreamed of fire hoses.... xD Rockets are lit tho

Aren't kids doing that. Gaming with their fav cars and then shooting their hoses ?

"It feels like a Porsche, the driving position is low, the seat is just pinching my kidneys" Amazing. Chris Harris is the best.

and have even further still to go

@@justicewarrior9187 For vast majority of people it take 30 SECONDs. Plug and Unplug. If you are spending time waiting to charging you fail at time management.

@@justicewarrior9187 Did 30k km in my Tesla without ever waiting anywhere. Just plug it in at home and good for another 500km effective range.

@@ZesPak BULLSHIT

@@ZesPak If you have an electric parking garage - then the entire concept of the ICE car becomes as quaint as the old telephone booth. Just roll your eyes at folks who don't get it.

Hey, that's a clever way of saying it! :D

Totally true. My first Porsche i drove was a 997 Carrera S, mindblowing. Best cars on the planet.

@Stefan you like the bmw m2 more than a 997 turbo s? Interesting. Guess the taste of people ist very wide spread

@@kommentierenderkommentator2572 That's BMW fans in a nutshell...

Anyone comparing them is just wasting their time. The porsche is probably twice the price if not more depending on options and gets 2/3s the range. In return for that, it's faster, much more premium, and a Porsche. You can make an argument for either one depending on what you're looking for.

You are right, after I got my Cayenne I do not want to drive any other car, my second car would be a Porsche too, drove Taycan Turbo early march , it is my taste. Tesla is a four wheels with a battery.

It was used for 'cheap' products.

@@evognayr/videos That too. =)

Turbo is an adjective for Porsche that means Superfast

@oneviwatara/videos Because?

It was the name of a bubble gum with car photos.

miss op to say electric slide

Turbo comes from the latin word turbo - vortex, turbulence. So no, it doesn't.

@@David-Zita Porsche also had have the first hybrid Car 100years ago.But the Petrol Engine was only for charging the battery😄

No one else has entered the Porsche Taycan's price range yet, so it makes sense that it's the best. Once competitors enter we're in for a good battle!

No lol

Waterman? Haha! Excellent choice of name there. I believe what you tried to say is fireman/firefighter 😁

It's a stellar shot! Hadn't even realised it till I watched again... :D

Yes, BUT 200A damage the Battery more. So it's way better to go for 800V 100A.

Higher charging voltage, lower current, fewer losses during charging, less prone to overheating issues, smaller cross-sectional wire

Nonetheless: Doubling voltage halves current and cuts losses (=heat that need to be cooled/dissipated) to 1/4.

Yes, the main advantage of the higher voltage architecture is that you need smaller conductors for the same power, both out the batteries into the motor, and from the charger to the batteries. This is the same reason that the new V3 Tesla superchargers have liquid cooling in the cable. They are on a lower voltage, so to keep the cable thickness manageable and lighter, they have to counter the added resistive heating of that power at lower voltage.

You do the math, thinner wires, less over heating, better battery life due to lower losses. Repeated runs. Watts = amp(i) × volts(v) Volts = amp(i) × resistance(r,ohm)

@@gabrieladimabua Yeah, he's slow out of the gate today.

@@gabrieladimabua Yes, I ran into jon doe during the last Chris Harris video. I couldn't believe the awful things he was saying. Everyone here is saying he is just trolling. Are you sure? What's his issue? It's just odd to me that someone would hate on Chris so much. Donald Trump I get but Chris Harris? What did Chris ever do to hurt anyone?

@@davidhunternyc1 he's a troll through and through. He's been doing it for ages. I mostly ignore him but sometimes I find it fun to play with him

Yes its set the mood and beautiful play

The reason for that is, the BBC and top gear specifically, don't mention Tesla because Elon is a little bitch and threatens to sue if someone states a Tesla has problems.

Tesla is a long-forgotten name once the Taycan is driven

Tesla is good but until they start making a purpose-built sports cars, I don't think their cars warrant a comparison. Teslas are blisteringly fast off the line, but ultimately the Model S is a family saloon that's designed for range, efficiency and comfort. It ain't a track car and it won't perform like one.

@@0hypnotoad0 Yeah. I don't understand why people are shitting on it in the comments when it isn't meant to do that workload.

Oh ok😂

Then we can go S+ and S Pro too. 😂

Well is more of a marketing thing. Porsche entire line of cars have something of a naming scheme when it comes to the term "Turbo". You want the top performing car out of the company, it's going to have "Turbo" badge to the name. You the very best they have to offer, "Turbo S". It's just that if you are thinking Turbo charger, then it's really, really redundant with the Taycan. Porsche isn't, and they treat the Taycan no differently than the rest of it's lineup.

we germans use 'turbo' as an urban slang replacement for the word 'fast'.

Heiko Rudi We do it in the states too. When running a machine at work I’ll ask “where’s the turbo on this thing?” meaning turn the speed up. Obviously knowing there is no turbocharge on a conveyor belt etc.

rman amg yeah keep waiting mate

They don’t degrade mechanically like ICE cars so I don’t think electric cars will depreciate much at all

Don't count on it any day soon. The EV demand is a lot higher than the supply.

Rather not if they lose hp and range over time and usage the way EV’s generally do. Hopefully they don’t but I imagine owners being abusive to them. ICE doesn’t have that problem. That said, this car is the first EV that I’ve ever liked for all out performance. Finally, someone does EV’s right. It had to be Porsche.

@@jz5937 agree

How is it going?

2.4 as tested ;)

And then just sitting at 60 or 70 mph for the rest of the journey just like everyone else. Pointless......

Stradman so you don’t like fast cars?

@@Niko-fp5is Love fast cars... On track! Where I can use them as they should and not worry about breaking the law and getting sent to jail. Zero point however having a 760hp, 2.4 ton car that does crazy mind bending acceleration. And it most certainly is not a track car!

@@realstradman except, he demonstrated, it is!

We need him to do more of those. The difference in tone is deliberate as they're aimed at different audiences (dedicated nerds online, mainstream bored people for TV). It's been too long since he got to feed the nerds!
