Two motors. 429 horses. 449 pounds of twist. That’s the spec sheet for the Taycan 4.
On track we hit 60 in four seconds flat. Porsche said four and four-tenths. We shaved off the time. It doesn’t care about the paperwork.
Rear end has that two-speed gear box. You hit an on-ramp, the car surges forward. 30 to 50 happens in 1.6 seconds. Gone before you blink.
EPA says 294 miles of range. Don’t trust the label yet. We watched a Taycan 4s — rated for 295 — actually hit 330 on the highway. The base 4 will probably stretch past its number too. Why not?
Corners matter. Grip it with a tire, hold on. Skidpad reading is a solid 0.98g lateral.
“It holds the road.”
Good grip. Bad news is there’s no quiet moment left in this car. Not that anyone buys a Taycan for quiet anyway.
Does it matter if it beats the estimate by a fraction of a second?
Probably. Maybe. Drive it and find out.
