What Sets The Taycan Turbo S Apart From The Taycan Turbo?
Okay, has it been long enough that we can stop worrying about Porsche calling the Taycan a "turbo" even though electric cars obviously don't have turbochargers yet?

Perhaps part of why this generation has persevered is due to the way the 996 Turbo's Mezger motor is quite receptive to tuning.
