Porsche Taycan Gts Sport Turismo: The Best Electric Porsche

Good News, The Taycan Sport Turismo Retains The Sensual Hips of the Sedan, by graft a hood that singularly modifies the silhouette. The Seduction Capital is intact, and the Practical Aspects Gain from it. The Trunk With A Fairly Narrow Opening Gives Way To A Tailgate, Much Easier Way to Access the Hold. The Trunk Volume is not extraordinary, with 446 Lites under the shelf, but the folded backs form a flat floor, ideal for loading long objects. At Most, 1,200 Lites of Luggage can be accommodated, and there is Always a Second – Small – Trunk at the Front of 84 Liters to Store the Charging Cables. In Short, the Additional Cost of 960 € Compared to the Sedan is Easily Justified by the Benefit in Terms of Practical Aspects, as well as by the decidedly different style.

Conso test – 1000 kilometers in Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo (2023), consumption, comfort, how much it costs ?

If electricity has not yet convinced everyone, manufacturers still offer models that invite travel. This is the case of Porsche with the Taycan Sport Turismo, a sports hunting break. Precisely, we decided to check its road qualities: Amsterdam direction with an entry -level version, focused on autonomy.

You are not ready for electricity ? However, this can prove itself, in any case if we stick to the top of the basket of the 100% electric models offered. To try to convince (and self-converse above all), we decided to leave for Amsterdam, European capital of electric vehicles, aboard a Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo in basic version. More familytime than the Taycan sedan, with more class and presence than the pseudo-barouder Cross Turismo version, the Turismo sport could be the best compromise in the range. All the more in its simplest version (with all the same the Performance Plus battery): it has an electric motor installed on the rear axle which develops 380 horsepower, and even 476 horsepower in Launch Control. This allows you to move the 2.2 tonnes of the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds. Nothing extraordinary, but sufficient to drop the tolls most of the other breaks that we see on the road.

It is only a few tenths of seconds slower than the sedan version, but with the advantage of being able to take the whole family on vacation. It is actually the more “green” alternative to a Panamera Sport Tursimo. Except that at equivalent price and similar motorization, the Taycan is cheaper of 10.Euros. And it must be recognized that the electric journey offers a beautiful advantage: calm and serenity, not to mention the ever more vigorous reminders than for a thermal model with equivalent power (up to a certain speed in any case). Quite spoken: departure for Amsterdam.

Huge advantage compared to the sedan version, the trunk of this Turismo sport. Slightly less efficient in terms of aerodynamics, but much more practical for family holidays.

Good to know: anticipate purchase and resale.

It is possible to know the resale or recovery value of your vehicle thanks to the Turbo car rating of your Porsche Taycan, the alternative to the Argus coast.

Sweet first kilometers

What we mean by “gently” means “in traffic jams”. Departure from Paris at 5 p.m.: The peripheral boulevard is, so to speak, armored ! But it’s not that bad. Here is a good situation for our electric break, which offers us remarkable comfort given its rather sporty temperament. The entirely leather upholstery covers the front seats at the front. The whole is well helped by a pneumatic suspension with a variable height which includes PASM. In short, difficult not to be good.

Especially since this small phase of “good traffic jams” has a notable advantage over consumption which remains easily under the 18.5 kWh/100 kilometers, even with the ventilation started. Accelerations are very soft, and the braking very frequent. Thus, we spend very little energy to set the car in motion and we recover from each deceleration and braking. Only downside of this little time-calm: the basic audio system is clearly not up to the standing of a Taycan. Not that this is unpleasant, but the prestige of a Porsche pushes us to expect more, for this kind of detail. It’s a bit the same for the ergonomics of the vacuum pocket under the armrest: we twist our arm in all directions to recover the telepepage or a pair of glasses. It is not essential, but it remains some small black dots.

We have to get used to this environment, but we end up taking a taste. Everything is well finished and well presented.

TGV 4 or 5 places

It is not blue, but it is a good GT signed Porsche. Will understand who can. And that is good, because the Taycan, especially in this Turismo sport version, is not a real sportsman, but indeed a GT. Family great tourism, with 5 places for our test model, even if it is an option at 480 euros. This therefore allows you to go far with several, without being afraid that the rear passengers will be too tight. Please note, there is no question of enjoying the place there would be in a minivan, but nothing alarming in relation to the template of the car and especially to his philosophy. So it’s time to get started on the highway with the first step. A motorway area !

Inevitably, we are in electric, and it is not the sandwich break that stops us but the supplies. for the car ! After rolling about 250 kilometers from Paris at a regulatory pace, we decide to organize a first stop to put energy back in the batteries. Consumption displayed ? An impressive 20.7 kWh/100 kilometers. Which brings us to the terminal at some 29%: after connecting to the Fassened terminal, the car quickly collects 100, then 140 and even 205 kW. Result ? The load of 29 to 94% only really requires 34 minutes. Not bad, without battery preheating. Not bad !

Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, the super versatile supercar – Turbo test of 11/12/2022

From 446 liters, the trunk of this electric station wagon can increase to more than 1.200 liters in two -seater configuration.

The game of the consumption

It must be understood that the new nerve of war, especially on the most upscale electric cars, is no longer total autonomy but consumption and recharge power. Understand that even 600 kilometers of autonomy would not be enough, if the recharge capacity was not up to the task. Here, even at sustained pace, consumption never exceeds 27.8 kWh/100 kilometers ! And believe us, it’s good ! With such an efficient and imposing car, difficult to do better. Especially with an average speed of medium movement as high. Even a tesla with equivalent power struggles to follow the rate to keep the same autonomy.

And inevitably, beyond the number of judgment that this requires, as on a thermal, consumption also determines the price. To be clear, we needed two loading breaks of 25 or 30%, up to 90 or 95%. Margin question, just to move forward serenely. This costs us around 60 euros, excluding tolls of course. Not bad given the pace imposed on our trip. Obviously, this climbs slightly closer to the 30.0 kWh/100 kilometers on a small road with a sportier driving. But this is normal, and we forgive him given his almost surgical sporting services for such an imposing station wagon. That will do better ?

For recharging, the Taycan is based on an 800 volts architecture which allows it to collect more than 250 kW for a long time. Result ? It goes quickly !

Prices and competition

Proposed from 97.040 euros, the Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo is therefore cheaper of 10.000 euros that the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo. The fact remains that it is no longer really a competitor. There will only be Tesla Model S as the only real frightening rival at Taycan Sport Turismo. But then again, Stuttgart keeps an asset: that of offering a trunk version. The American firm will keep the advantage of performance since a model s plays more than 1.000 horses costs some 6.000 euros more than our test model with all these options. It will therefore be necessary to choose pragmatism. or price/performance ratio. Fortunately, Porsche still has the Stuttgart coat of arms on his hood to make the difference with some passionate customers.

Even with its large rims, the Taycan Sport Turismo impresses with its dynamism/comfort ratio.

Porsche Taycan Gts Sport Turismo: The Best Electric Porsche

Almoste Twenty Years after the Launch of its first suiv, the Cayenne, Porsche Once Again Made the Purists Scream in 2019 with the Taycan, its first electric car. A Little Over Two Years After the Start of its Marketing, the Bet Has Already Been Won: For the 2021 Financial Year, This Sedan That Runs On Electrons has climbed to the third step of the brand’s Sales Podium, With 41.296 Units Sold. The Two Cayenne and Macan SUVS Are Still Largely in the Majority, but it has the nerve to be ahead of her majesty the 911. Systematically retorts, with a touch of sadism, that he had more fun driving the taycan Than the last 911 type 992. By Carefully Omitting to specific that if the 911 Carrera 4s is indeed too much and sanitized, the 911 Carrera S appears Much More Playful While the 911 Turbo S Can Flank A Thrill of the Devil of the Devil of the Devil of the Devil of the Devil.

What Seems certain is that with its taycan, porsche has managed to offer a real porsche. Simply Electric. Once this Challenge Had Been Taken Up, All That Remained was to apply the house recipes in Terms of Trade Policy. The Manufacturer from Zuffenhausen has a habit of Decline its models in an infinity of variants and the taycan is no exception. Born as a Sedan, it first Evolved Into A Raised Station Wagon With An Adventurous Look, The Cross Turismo. Now, this latest model ditches its plastic stilts and underbody guards to become a more traditional station wagon, Called the sport Tarismo.

Porsche also B3. Traditionally, this designation Refers to Models within the Range that highlight the Pleasure of Driving. This Taycan Gts Advances A Power of 517 HP, Increased for a Few Seconds to 598 HP With the Overboost, which is activated at the same time as the launch control system to optimize fast starts. This places it between the taycan 4S (490 hp and 571 HP with overboost) and Taycan Turbo (625 HP and 680 HP with overboost). These figures Seem Closer to the 4s and Yet, Technicalely, It is indeed with the Turbo that the proximity is the most. Indeed, the GTS Shares its Motors with the Later, While the 4S has a rear Motor with a Shorter Rotor (130 mm Against 210 mm). This has a consequence on the torque: 300 nm at the front and 550 nm at the rear as on the turbo, while the 4s must be satisfied with 340 nm at the rear.

The Porsche Taycan Gts Barely Slower Than The Taycan Turbo

On Paper, Therefore, The Taycan Gts is Similar To A Taycan Turbo, Whose Electronic Flange is Simply Used to Justify the Difference in Price Between the Two Models. In Fact, the Much Higher Torque of the GTS GIVES A NEVERICANTLY GREATER VIGOR THHAT THAT OF THE 4S, Ultimately CUTTE TURBO. The 0 to 100 km / h in 3.7 seconds (3.2 seconds for the turbo, 4.0 seconds for the 4S) Suggestes the Performance of This Sports Station Wagon. Crushing the Pedal to the Floor Immediately Sticks Your Back to the Seat, and the Slightet Tortuous Road Turns Into A Rollercoaster. The Performance of the Taycan 4S is excellent, that of the turbo, fantastic. With the GTS, we navigate in the exceptional, which is already not so bad.

What Makes the Interest of the Taycan Gts, it is first of all its Specific Chassis Settings. Porsche Unfortanely DES NOT GO INTO The Details of the Modifications Made Compared To The Taycan Turbo, CONTENTING ITSELF With Pointing To An Air Suspension (With Three Chambers) With Revised Settings, and A More Lively Four-Wheel Steering System (Optional). The Result Makes This Best of the Range version. Always on Rail Whatever the Speed, this Taycan Gts Draws Impeccable Trajectories Thanks to Precise and Informative Steering. Above all, the Reactions of the Chassis Appear More Progressive To the Limit, Despite the 21-Inch Rims that fitd our test model. Fast, Pleasant and Reassuring, This Electric Porsche Gives Its Driver the Freedom to exploit its capabilities to the limit. Clearly, The GTS is the best compromise between performance and progressiveness. The Best Choice for Driving Enthusiasts, who May Find the Turbo and Turbo S Too Grounded.

To this remaked Sportiness, The Taycan Gts Adds Astonishing Comfort for Such A Low Car and Fitted with Low-Rise Tires. Here is a sports car that is not unlivable on a daily basis, and which even knows How to be versatile. Thanks to that 93.4 kWh Battery (Including 83.7 kWh useful) and an electrical architecture of 800 volts, the taycan can consider long trips. On the Motorway, The Average Consumption is approximately 24 kWh/100 km, I.e. has Automy of 350 km at 130 km/h . In Town and on the Road, we can hop to exceed 400 km in flowing driving: 20 kWh/100 is a realistic consumption. And reloading is fast, goong from 10% to 80% in 25 minutes. In Short, this Taycan Sport Turismo is, in our opinion, the best electric porsche, which is no small feat. Obviously, this has a high price: € 136.619 Excluding options. And no one would dare to buy a porsche without an option, as the customization possibilities are endless.
