Porsche Taycan Turbo S | Lightning Performance | First Drive Review

The Taycan Turbo S carries the sporty Porsche DNA throughout the bodyline; it has the evergreen Porsche’s sloping roof line and the muscular, sculpted hood on the front. The contouring of flowing lines on the car give it a much more aerodynamic appearance.

The SportsDesign side skirts, lower valance, and huge rear diffuser with louvred design come with inlays in Carbon. Just like all Porsches, the PDLS Plus comes standard in Matrix LED headlights. As a part of its aerodynamic design, it has auto-deploying door handles. The rear tail lamp light strip extends throughout the rear seamlessly. It also comes with 4-point LED Daytime running lights. We get a good amount of luggage compartments at the front and rear. The rear compartment, even with its extra tire and charging cables, can still fit my racing kit; very impressive.

The charging ports on both sides of the car are a great addition. The AC Type 2 is on the driver’s side, and AC/DC Type 2 is on the Passenger side. The standard Taycan Turbo S with performance battery plus has a battery capacity of 93.4KwH and a fast charging rate of 270 kW. This leads to a super quick charging time from 5 to 80% in just 22.5 minutes when using a high direct current (DC) charger. The driving range is around 330-350 km. There’s an 11kW AC charger that comes with the car. Of course, Porsche has added another futuristic feature to the car; all we have to do to open the charge cover is glide our finger under it and boom, it opens up. It’s easy, isn’t it?

My personal favourites, though, are the Blue “PORSCHE” logo in the glass integrated into the rear light strip, the adaptive rear spoiler, and the 21’ (53.34 cm) Mission E Design Wheels. Quite a combination of the futuristic and legendary Porsche looks.
