2021 Porsche Taycan 4S Review: The Panamera of the Future
(Editor's note: We're working on a reviews format for new Porsches that we drive. These reviews will be based tests on our home turf, and not part of a first drive or launch program. Product launches are important content, but it's not typically enough time to provide a fully-scored review. Reviews will consist of vehicles and products that we've …

Thus far the Porsche Taycan has only been available in all-wheel drive configurations. Well, in the U.S. and Europe, that is. In China the company sells a rear-wheel drive configuration Taycan (which, by the way, I would really like to buy). That rear-drive model recently set a new world record for longest continuous drift, and let me tell you, it …

He's traded his oversized beanies and breathable track suits for a warm tweed ensemble.

268 km/h indicated. For those of us who measure in freedom units, that's the equivalent of 167.5 mph. That's a seriously impressive number for Porsche's electric sedan. Remember it wasn't all that long ago that the average sport sedan couldn't touch 150 mph. Of course, in today's power-obsessed market, there are a handful of sedans capable of …

Porsche's build-your-own configurator for the Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S have been live for a few weeks now, so surely you've had time to build your own ideal Taycan, right? I've spent my own time dreaming of getting behind the wheel of one of these. I don't have the six-figures necessary to step aboard my own Taycan, but I can build hundreds …

More than just outright speed, every focused Porsche provides outrageous robustness, and as a result, peace of mind. Driving 500 km to the Nurburgring, spending the afternoon setting scorching laps, and driving home without so much as a hiccup is purely Porsche. Fortunately, that tank-like robustness has filtered down from the 918 to the new …

To say our interest is piqued by the Porsche Taycan is an understatement. By the numbers the Taycan seems pretty exceptional; more than 600 horsepower, more than 500 kilometers of range, and a sub-3.5 second 0-60 sprint are all cause to be excited.
