NEW Porsche Taycan TURBO GT Review: Should Tesla Be Scared? | 4K 

Never change this style of presentation,you are literally the last guy doing REAL car enthusiast reviews ,I can think of 2 guys in Canada and another 2 in the USA ,and that’s it.

Porsche should never ever be in the same conversation with Tesla, it's an insult to Porsche 🤫

I agree with you on your last point . The standard taycan is fast enough for most as for the tesla it maybe quicker but it won’t drive as well as the Porsche and certainly not as well built.

Germans are doing engineering lessons

Taycan headlights work wonders for medicinal plant growers 😂

Its funny how under all these videos people say "cant wait for the depreciation" as if luxury cars, electric or not, haven't always depreciated a lot. But at the end of the day it does not matter, because you, dear commenter can't afford one either way.

Can’t wait to get this at 60% discount next year

The 911 GT3 RS and the Taycan Turbo GT are the best best example of the beauty of Porsche engineering. Making the best of the best cars whether you're put petrol in it or plug a charge cable on it.

Very nice for dashing to Tesco in a 20 MPH zone 🙃

Regardless of the EV war, this colour is spectacular

Best conclusion you've come to in a long time Rory!

What’s the point of the door if not seats? Button to delete doors

All these people saying the taycan just like all EVs depreciate... are we forgetting tesla was the highest depreciation brand rate last year. The model s plaid literally broke a record with how fast it depreciated

Imagine paying all that extra money to remove your back seats and all those other features only to lose 75 kilos😂 Buying a sedan without back seats is actually pretty stupid imo

Your last statement on practicality about going for the track version which lacks rear seats was great.

what a review whew.. hats off Rory you manage to outshine the product every time

Your channel's commitment and sincerity are truly special. Congratulations

When I see a Porsche I think in the back of my mind "Yep, built for purpose", purpose of fun. You can leave the family at home and tootle off to the race track and de stress with one of the greatest boy toys of the modern era, who needs extra seats when you can make your own fun on your own, of course if you can afford it get both. A Porsche is a staple, a must have in every car enthusiasts garage, it's a great versatile sports car that can drive excellently on the road and the track. Good Job Rory, I'm jealous😏👍

Are they using capacitors along with the regular batteries?

Outstanding journalism. I see a place for both versions, although I wish the top version was a 2 door convertible.

One of the best sport car manufacturer also made best EV is like looking man who doing great carriers also doing great in his hobby. What an amazing car manufacture.

No one can convey the sense of driving a fast car like Rory. Pleas have him on forever.

Rory you still have your mustang? by the way as usual this was a great review this is the only one I'm watching of the new taycan.

Brilliant review 👏🏽👏🏽

It's amazing how quickly Porsche accelerated to become better at EVs than Tesla. Porsche must be one of the world's best companies ever.

Appreciate Rory for having the balls to be openly honest about it and for AutoTrader for allowing him to do so.

Great review Rory!

Question: what the heck do the steering wheel paddles do...? 🤔

Have you seen the depreciation on Gen 1 Taycans ? 🤷

I just love how people obsess over 2 or 3 seconds to 100, no one would notice the difference and you'd be a total knob to use launch control on the road.

Great video - now my go to channel for new car launches. Not afraid to be critical either 👍

Go Rory.... Happy New year. F*CK with you bruh 💯💯💯. CONTENT¡!!!

I really wish this power train will be in the Audi E Tron GT

Damn that's a nice purple!

The 'Ring time is absolutely astounding.

Not practical, i need the seats but i like the wing. Can i hv the seats back but keep the rest?

Tesla should worry about the brilliant Hyundai Group EVs, not a Porsche.

What if the ICE Panameras had this body styling, Porsche would sell a boat load.

Ive been luckily enough to have a quici spin in a Taycan Turbo. And lets be honest. The last thing it seemed to need was performance. Literally the quickest car ive ever driven.

Where is that in Sevilla? I live there and have do not know about this place..

Wow Rory, killer review, I love Your impartial analysis. Spot on in my opinion.

If i'm getting one, of course it's the one with 4 seats... I don't want BAC MONO level of versatility in a huge sedan.

Porsche's functional team should given a round of applause 1. Tycan : make it lighter, keep the backdoors and remove the seats. 2. Porsche Spyder RS : make it lighter, make the roof manual

The Monteblanco circuit is in the province of Huelva, not in Seville...

So let me get this right, this Porsche can do 0 - 200KM/h in 6 second!? What a time to be alive. 🎉

You did a great job of capturing your enjoyment driving this car. It’s an amazing piece of engineering. The price though..! 🤕

Were these test drives all completed on the same day?

Crazy how the 911 is half the horsepower and still faster around all tracks. Truly awesome.

Epic car but I'm waiting for 7 seat Porsche Taycan hypercar 😁

Taycan is a family car but it can also act like a sport car. I love it when the handling is in the corners is exceptional. This is a car’s comprehensive review in only 12min. Outstanding review so far.

I like Rory...shy and enthusiastic guy. :) In next generation of Top Gear...Rory and Chris were the best presenters.

Regarding the Weissach, I like the idea of driving the equivalent of a sporty Chevy El Camino with an interior cargo bed accessible by doors on either side, and in, addition a trunk and a frunk! Not to mention it is the fastest street car of them all, bar none!. I like the fact that I can play with paddle shifters: right tap rocket mode accelerator, left tap for more (regenerative) braking. I also like the fact that it can handle even better than the Turbo S which by itself can prevent a dangerous high speed situation from becoming deadly. I like the fact that with the added Panamera's suspension system, it can offer a more luxurious ride to become a closer competitor to the Rolls Spectre while leaving it in the dust in performance terms; that system also providing unique, in addition to pitch, dive, roll control as well as (get this) 'Speed Racer' style lowering of the wheels to maintain performance traction when the car starts to go airborne, luxury touches such as raising itself for the occupants ease of ingress/egress. I also like that the Weissach, in particular, will hold more value (and potentially be a collector) than the rest of the electric motor battery cans on wheels because of it's specialness to the point of justifying an investment of ~30K for major service to bring back performance to 100% in 5-10 years. I like the fact that Porsche realizes it has to offer a Weissach package on the Taycan GT at no extra cost to remain competitive in the depreciating EV market (this may be the first and last time for a no extra cost Weissach package). I don't like the fact that the body is mostly indistingushable from the Taycans that came out in 2020. I do like the distinguishing Aero and the sharp metallic Violet/ Indigo (not purple despite claims) paint job. I like that , currently, there is assurance of allocation availability as opposed to archaic lesser performing ICE GT models. I like the different kind of adrenaline experience from having to harness a virtual lightning bolt under my ass in day to day traffic. I would not like to prove it on the track at the cost of a new set of tires.

Classic Rory stuff.. love it..

Looking at the amount of rubber left on the road during the launch, that torque will eat a set of tyres in a couple of thousand miles without too much trouble.

Bro I'm waiting for your review, on Lexus LRA and Lexus LC Convertible

I completely agree with your past point, so hope you’ll review the new base spec Tycan.

Just remember this car almost beat the Rimac Nevera around the Nurburgring

In a different price league so no Tesla doesn’t need to worry; different customer base

Amazing cinematography ❤

Amazing review. Great insight. And I agree, with EV sometimes less is more.

Beautiful, fast, strong.

Couldn't agree more with Rory. I just spent the whole review thinking I'd rather have the normal car. If it's got four doors then that's a car that's also for going to the shops.

Porsche achieved those numbers just using 2 electric motors 🔥 Imagine how monstrous it be If uses 3 or 4 motors🤯

they should put the back seats back in for a no cost option. while it doesnt have the seats, tesla and lucid can say that the laptime has a asterisk next to it because its no longer a 4 seater. Nice engineering sample though, shows what a all electric 911 could be like

I saw a standard one today. Looks beautiful ❤️

Why would anyone need a 4 door with 2 seats?? Who is the GTS Weissach marketed to?

In the USA the Model S Plaid is 88k starting TAYCAN GT turbo 230k starting Why are you even comparing these ?

Porsche: Masterful engineering, great build quality, incredible fast in a line and around corners, great design, epic heritage. Tesla: Incredible fast in a line and... a tablet

If it has a two speed transmission why is top speed limited to 189 mph while Plaid does 200 mph and Sapphire 205 mph?

It's got a great turbo 😁

This video and the GT4 RS video, epic cinematic editing.

The Porsche Taycan is actually faster than the Plaid in a straight line. If you read on how Tesla measured the 2s acceleration, makes it misleading.

It’s buyers who should be scared… of the depreciation

Tesla should be scared in general for their future

Do u plan on making a 2024 Ford Mustang S650 Dark Horse review?

Weissach package with rear Stars would be a dream

Why have a 4 door with no back seats? Just make it a 2 door

1034 HP on Overboost. Standard is around 780hp roughly.

Cat Price is 206000£ (240000€) according to the Porsche website. Where did you get the price of 86000£ ???

You are complaining that you cannot carry the family in the car, but you can just get the version which has the rear seats and that's it :) That version without rear seats is mostly for showing what is possible than for practical use i guess.

Give me the sport turismo turbo gt

Yours for half price in less than a year

Very good review! Had me smiling for most of it. I would disagree on the last comment from Rory, though. You can always go for the normal GT version and get one of the quickest most practical family cars on sale today. This special over the top version here was made, because the new platform was an ideal playing ground to showcase what's possible. And it is very impressive! And it is therefore also a statement to everyone out there that Porsche cannot be dethroned so easily for making some of the fastest road cars. It's a testament for leadership. I dig it. I'm sure they'll make a two door version of this two engine super monster power platform soon and that'll be the even more most insane thing to drive, if that is even possible... It's a spectacle and I am certainly a happy viewer

Can't wait for the Drag Races

Where's the turbo?

Nah man tesla is screwed because porsche has great handling in corners due to suspension and great chassis setup while tesla is just simple EV

Can it do a 20 minute track session without reducing power??

All I hear from that EV sound of the Taycan is the Shield re-gen in Halo

Porsche is the only one from the Germans brands who seems to keep up with Chinese brand at innovation at least but they need cheaper EV models

You don't need that much power. How many of these speed freaks are ever going to use it? Just a pissing contest. Sad.

I'm guessing it will only cost three times as much a the Plaid, so there is that. I do dig that purple paint though. I suspect the Sapphire Lucid Air is more aligned as a rival, in price at least.

Totally agree with the conclusion. A purpose-built 2-seater would be far better at the track, so let the family car carry a family - you can show off to 3x as many passengers too. Doing 0-60 in 2s is great, but there are more fun things for both driver and passenger, all of which don't need a million hp. Even the slowest Taycan has nearly 200hp/tonne, which is plenty for road use, a GTS would be a perfectly reasonable top spec and, as usual, still seems the one to go for! Seeing a GTS badge on a non-SUV Porsche always makes me think that person actually knows how to drive, more so than any Turbo.

How can other electric cars have a constant 1000+Hp, but Porsche of ALL brands can only give you 1000+Hp in bursts💀💀

Reaping dividends from the Rimac collab?

What… you didn’t pick the $3000 steering stalks delete option?

Nice nuanced conclusion!

Wow - an even faster depreciating Taycan.

Whats the point, go for a blast in mid wales and it'll be flat in 100 miles and you won't be able to charge it. Go on track, you'll get 20 mins and will have nowhere to charge it?

The high-speed slalom run at 7:40 in the video shows the taycan's super maneuverability. The car body is balanced for high performance and contributes to dynamic characteristics.

I think Rory got this exactly right. The Taycan is in many ways a car without a purpose. It's not as much fun as a 911 and it doesn't offer the utility of a Tesla S. From a pragmatic perspective, the Tesla S Plaid, with the track package is a $110k car that can transport 5 people in comfort, had a great ride, is stupid fast, is crazy efficient, and can be driven across the continent with the world's best charging network. By comparison the Taycan costs $235k, has less interior space than a Tesla 3, has poor efficiency, continues to be way too heavy, and simply doesn't offer much transportation utility. Porsche really needs to do something about their hubris and instead of trying to one up the Tesla Plaid, a car that has a fundamentally different purpose than the Taycan, make an electric sports car that's really a Porsche. I would argue that the Tesla 3 Performance.....soon to be the Ludicrous is that. It will offers more transportation utility than the Taycan, will be in the same ballpark from a power to weight perspective, will be far lighter, and will cost less than 1/3 as much. Porsche needs to develop a serious competitor to the Tesla 3 Ludicrous, not the Tesla S Plaid. One is intended to be a sports sedan while the other is intended to be a rapid and luxurious transportation device for 5. Truly cars with different purposes. So Porsche, forget the 1,000 HP arms race with Tesla and instead do what you do best. Make a (relatively) light, agile, and fun electric sports car. A Porsche.
