Porsche Taycan Turbo S Review: The Electric Benchmark, Sharpened

Porsche’s mid-cycle refresh gives the Taycan a meaningful bump in range and charging speed, plus cabin tech that finally feels current. The Turbo S, the flagship, remains the benchmark others chase.

Instant, relentless thrust

With overboost engaged and launch control armed, the Turbo S hooks up and simply deletes the road ahead. It is not just quick for an electric car; it is quick, full stop.

Still the best-handling EV

The two-speed gearbox and low centre of gravity give the Taycan a unique character — a rear-engined 911 feel translated to a heavy four-door. The brakes, regen blended expertly, are the best in the EV class.

The Taycan Turbo S proves that performance and electrification are not enemies. They are, in Zuffenhausen’s hands, old friends.
