Performance and driving dynamics

• The Taycan GTS is explosively fast with 598 hp and 850 Nm of torque in overboost, hitting 155 mph
• Grip and handling are phenomenal for a 2.3 ton car thanks to all-wheel drive, rear-wheel steering, and advanced chassis tech
• Braking performance was inconsistent and concerning at times, not confidence inspiring
• Ride quality is very good overall, but still on the firm side over rough roads

Range, efficiency and charging

• Real-world efficiency was terrible, averaging just 2.1 miles per kWh, much worse than other EVs
• This yields a full-charge range of only around 220 miles, not enough for the reviewer's regular 200-230 mile drive
• Charging was very slow, taking 12-15 hours on a 7kW home charger to fill the 93 kWh battery
• Public rapid charging was expensive at up to 70p/kWh, costing the equivalent of £200 in electricity for a week's driving
• At these electricity prices, efficiency equates to just 30mpg in a petrol car - poor for the performance

Interior and practicality

• The interior design and layout was deemed "a disaster" with awkward ergonomics, and cheap materials
• Rear seat and cargo space are decent but access is awkward due to misaligned door openings
• The myriad touchscreens are unintuitive and fiddly to use while driving
• Option pricing is outrageous, with nearly £3k charged for some red stitching and accents in the "GTS interior"

Porsche app and charging network

• The Porsche app allows for handy remote functions like climate preconditioning
• The included Porsche charging card gives access to lower rates at partners like Ionity
• However, the reviewer found no Porsche-compatible charging points within 25 miles of home, making the offered cheaper charging meaningless
