This is the 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S. It hits 60mph in about 2.6 seconds and costs as tested, $238K Canadian. Not cheap, but possibly the most advanced EV you can buy from a dealership down the street. But does it offer quarter-million-dollar thrills? Watch to find out. Subscribe!

When you launch and your first reaction is laughing in disbelief, you know the car's a winner.
What if the car is just so slow that you laugh in disbelief?
@@PalpatinesPlumber would you even count that as a launch?
The lap record was destroyed by Tesla Model S Plaid.
@@abi.hockeycop That Tesla model s with 3 motors and ripped out interior? Tesla lost every race to Porsche, just watch every video relating to that
Or a joyless over priced ev.
When the taycan came out, everyone laughed about its styling, but it aged so unbelieveably gracefully.
like any porsche 😁
The styling, driving, sound system (Burmester), infotainment, and the rate they are depreciating at are all major factors that make it my obtainable dream car.
me too, think i might be able to get one in around 20 years@@snakeeyes9246
Right ? its so good looking
I always thought it looked great, when I saw the concept. Then it came out and looked pretty damn similar. Wonderful car
Omg I drove this for two days and I can’t lie, it was on another level of speed. It can easily give you whiplash in the launch mode. Love it!!!
Awesome right?
@obsidian fury I took it for a two day test drive from a dealership. I have a Porsche Macan but the Taycan is next level.
If you think that was fast, wait until you drive the Tesla Model S plaid plus, and costs less!!!
@@WilliamDeanPlumbing I need to try it out. Let me figure out how.
@@WilliamDeanPlumbing it's not faster
The noise is so cool; what most EV’s have been missing imo.
You can switch the sound off and it will come with a HUD later. They didn't say this though.
Yep, EVs need cool sounds. You can pick the sound, why not make it cool? Also it is safer for pedestrians for cars to make noise.
@Xp Reflex And? You want something that is as quick as a Supercar completely silent?
@@DragonKnightX12 why does the sound matter tho ? If it performs well does it really have a purpose ??
Duke Wilson if you don’t understand why you’d want sound, I legit feel bad for you
James: Did the car fart? Also James: Gesundheit Bless you, James, for your humor.
Humour* after all he is British
@@PalpatinesPlumber touché
Sad. Southpark was spot on aboot Canadians.
Isn't it "faert"?
Colin Kao ...some of them smell “grouss’”
10:23 "I think it's the most car-looking EV I've ever seen"
Tesla mission: Accelerate transition to sustainable... Porsche mission: Race
And then Tesla just won again with their Model S Plaid. Elon is competitive lol
Tesla's mission is to make money (not that there is anything wrong with that).
@@mmyz7 the fact that tesla fails to complete a nurburgring lap is just ridiculous. You cant compare tesla with porshe when it comes to actual performance not only 0-100.
@@andreirusea1872 It did complete the lap? And won? Look up Model S Plaid track test and go for the most recent one
@@andreirusea1872 My bad, the current one is from Leguna Seca. Still beats the porche though. You better bet your ass it's going to be even faster than what Elon said it will do when it comes out. That new power train and tri motor is no joke. Also their new batteries and battery placement will help it.
Refreshing to see a luxury sedan ev with an actually tasteful interior.Great video !
Taycan interior is nice, it has something inside Teslas are so empty and disgusting from inside
Tesla interior reminds me of Swiss Air’s first class cabin, only with less refined materials and an inferior build. The difference is that Swiss Air makes up for the spartan decorations with refined, excellent service. You get amazing food, a comfy lie flat, a big ass TV screen, endless snacks, etc. You can’t even get a service consultant on the phone at Tesla.
The taycan isn’t a “luxury” sedan
I like my dried veggie interior. FYI, you guys missed out on an important point, let me remind you: $250,000 That's where your interior and build quality come from.
@@mealsonwheels5139 yes also that new system they implemented to allow to car to run longer without over heating. Made it much more expensive. Funny thing is tesla is still faster 0-60 and has I higher top speed LOL
Throttle House is flat out and undeniably the best car review channel on KZhead. And it is one of the best channels on KZhead of any sort. You guys are informative, witty and have a great chemistry. And just when I think you cannot be any funnier, you raise the bar. And it's not just that you're funny. You guys know your stuff. I trust your opinion. You explain the vehicles in a way to which any person can connect and understand. 👍🏼

I love your back and forth comedy. It’s like a Canadian “Top Gear”
Can we just take a moment to appreciate this top notch video editing? Just plain awesome.
Definitely appreciated . Thought I was the only one who noticed.
So which one is the bottom?
Love this channel, the quality is brilliant and the comedy is just enough to make the content engaging without straying over the line into just being idiotic. Put short it’s the old top gear quality (British one with the famous trio)
agreed
nailed it!
100%
9:45 “The panels line up” 😂😂😂
harsh but fair
They better line up for $150K more than Model S performance.
@@korswe well thy should also line up for a Tesla.
@@korswe Mate, even my 1.4L Astra its panels line up better then the ones from a 100K model S.
Jan Peeters. My Model S has minor panel gap issues, but they do not affect how great the driving and ownership experience has been. A Toyota Corolla probably has better fit and finish, but it doesn’t work for everyone. A Model S is not for a 20-year old. A Model S or the X is better for middle-age business professional with a family.
James: Did the car just fart? Tom: The car just farted. Me: So much for zero emissions...
The fart emitter has its own particulate filter. Porsche thinks of everything.
A few words about the door handles inside of the car, because they act weird for a reason: In „normal“ cars the door lock is operated mechanically, so you are pulling on a lever, moving a wire, opening the lock and therefore opening the door. In the Taycan the door lock is operated (kind of) electrically, so you are pulling a lever which is pressing on a button, opening the lock and therefore the door. It‘s like an inverted soft close feature, the door is opening a little bit more than usual. But there is a mechanical fallback which can be activated in emergency cases. It has a few pros compared to normal doors but was a pain in the ass during development ;)
So it acted weird because electrical error or sth? And what exactly few pros you mentioned above? I honestly can't really think of one.
I'm not a big fan of these electric door handles, both inside and out. It is only there to "look cool" but offers no real benefits, other than higher likelihood of failure down the line, which is potentially a safety issue, if say you got into an accident, then the door handle/locks seize up on you. At least the Porsche door handle will last a good few years before breaking. Tesla is also using electric door handles and because of their infamous poor panel fit, some of their electric door handles are DOA. The TFL youtube channel's new Model Y already had one of their door handles malfunction three times, and their car is only a couple of months old!
Thomas: You're such a buffon Gianluigi Buffon: Am I joke to you
lol

Refreshing to see a luxury sedan ev with an actually tasteful interior. Looks great.
Tesla Mod S could easily add some leather for another $120k lmao
@@killergoldfish117 You are paying it because it's a Porsche
@@killergoldfish117 leather makes it a good interior?
@@raajt8889 that's it? that's some low standards u got.
@@kamallb4650 Depends on the leather , if it's VALCONA .. yeah it's the best also tesla is just inferior in quality interior , and they copyed porsche design of exterior
The editing, quality and videography in this video are all spectacular. Reminds me of the classic, original Top Gear. This is by far the best Taycan review I've seen - well done, fellas.
I love how much effort they put into the comedic intros at the beginning.
the outro had me crying holy moly - brilliant review as always guys, keep it up.
james’s evil face when he electrocutes thomas is the best thing you’ll see all day
Throttle House reviews are the best. I will never own, or even ride in a car like this, but now I feel as if I have. Also, Thomas and James are so likable and clever that anything they discuss makes for a fun view.
This is a great review guys, beautifully done and you deserve to be at the top of the heap on KZhead! I've driven the Taycan Turbo and it's more than quick enough. For myself I'd go for the 4S, but I found the rear seat ingress/egress a bit too tight so I'm hoping the Sport Turismo will be another good option.
My uncle’s friend owns one of these cars, and when he found out I was into sports cars at dinner one night, he let me take it for a spin with him. It was so magical! Totally cemented my love for Porsche!
Finally at the 1m subscriber mark!! I'm so happy for you guys, and it's bloody well deserved!! Much love from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks mate!!!
You guys have so much fun when filming. You two & Mat (from Carwow) can be a good deal for @TopGear
We dont need a top gear anymore... they ruin best presenters. ..this is better
This argubly has been one of your best video guys. Fantastic video editing, music and camera work. Brilliant work!
You two guys are way too adorable and completely delightful. My favorite bit of all time is pulling Thomas out of the Blackwing. I do enjoy the cars, of course, but mostly I watch these videos to see you two gentleman do your thing. Thank you!!!
5 seconds in and I already know it will be a great video
Cuz they all are lmao
Maybe some day u last longer . Dont give up 😁😁😁 🍷
5 secs in and you know that it's a sponsor
You guys get right what Top Gear kept getting wrong: you start with a little tomfoolery, but then get right into the real car review stuff right away (team TG would spend entire segments and episodes never getting to anything review-related far too often). Nicely done, as always!
Your videos are improving every upload. Thank you so much for amazing car content.
Great review TH! More outtakes - that was utterly hilarious...
Love the enlightened take on pumped in sound.
Saw my first one today in that exact colour. What a mindblowingly beautiful car and very futuristic looking on the road.
You guys are my favorite reviewers I always enjoy the show thank you guys truly
Hands down best car reviews on KZhead congrats 👍🏻🇺🇸🦅
you guys are killing it ......good job guys....real fan
14:26 actually it is a wireless charging, so you have to put your phone exactly that way
Thank you. I work for a porsche dealership and that part bugged me so much lol. It's the same in the 911
James: Did the car just fart? Tom: The car just farted. Me: So much for zero emissions...
Intros are hilarious and great review like always
This is a channel that I'll watch till I drop dead! Keep it up guys!
The Car Fart bit is the greatest thing I've ever seen lmao
How are y’all still under a million subs?? This shit is perfection.
That outro was the best possible way to end that video!! Hat's off, that was AWESOME!!
You guys have the perfect blend of information, entertainment, humour and petrolhead fuel
Only Porsche know how to make an electric car with no engine still sound good
Mach E sounds cool, too.
“Yeah, but the panels line up” Ha! So true!
Great review, thank you for the great laughs at the end of the video ! James, your laugh is awesome !
Best car review show on YT. Way to go!
Just to see your reaction to the launch is so crazy. I want to experience this.
The last part reminded me of "End of Watch" which made me sad.
Just rewatched that the other day. I don't think there's a single movie that makes me sadder.
man...that movie hit me really hard when I saw it in the theater. I haven't tried to watch it again. I definitely cried though the first time.
The sound that it makes when you accelerate... Amazing 🤩
You guys are awesome! Great reviews!!
Me : Does it fart? Porsche : Yes Me : Shut up and take my money
It also is the best selling vehicle in any of the Porsche's Line up
Amazing video and cinematography!
That sound it makes is EPIC!
I've always loved your video quality. If you have time (you know, all that extra time on your hands, I'm sure), you should do a video breakdown of your production process, especially how it's grown and improved over the past year. Awesome stuff, guys. 👍🏻
I love how the screen in the center console is lined with leather it makes it look so much more integrated a big dislike of modern cars imo is that the screens look just sticked on and aren't well integrated I love the use of screens in the taycan and I say this as a physical button lover
Omg that ending. It’s the laugh after excuse me for me. I lose it with you guys every time.
GREAT ENDING! You had me laughing. I love those really silly uncontrolled laughs.
This car is great, I like the direction that Porsche has taken with it
The range is awful for that price, for that price you could have A 2020 Roadster with 500+Mile Range, I do like the design
?
@@cj_curles0671 2020 roadster? 2022 is more accurate.
TopDeadCenter Well, you know Elon, he could have thousands of them ready and is just waiting for something.
@@cj_curles0671 nah. Elon is that kinda person. He announces first hypes first then woosh. Man! Get over those epa ratings😂 Tesla doesn't match it's claimed range almost all the time while taycan outperforms the estimated range all the time.
Intro was 10/10
not gonna lie probably one of the best intros in throttle house!!!
Is anyone realizing that production quality is becoming better with every new video. This is like top gear quality content for free!
By far the best EV on the market right now. Taycan it is!
15:05 the face James makes looking at the glass roof.
Purujit Pradhan Was about to comment that, it freaking killed me xD
The chemistry between you 2 is wonderful.
That speedo to face rotating shot was faaan-tastic.
15:30 would ve been nice if you had added that when you engage the brakes it recuperates. It only uses the brakes when you brake hard. Due to the 800 V system the car can generate /recuperate quiet a lot and deaccelerate without actually braking. And a maybe annoying thing. You cant change the airsteam direction while driving cause of danger of beeing distracted... 😁
Yeah, they really dropped the ball when mentioning the recuperation. It's actually really clever.
Well it had better do that, since even a nissan leaf does it lol
Really though, why should they need to mention it? This has been in every electric car. Teslas you never brake, at all, unless you are driving too close to people. Its easy to get used to. And its not fancy of a feature, it is literally an alternator, just with your motors, something cars have had forever.
@@jf8138 wrong. Due to the 800 V-Sytem the Porsche can generate more than any tesla or leaf so the deceleration is way stronger.
15:45 actually, when you're pressing the brake pedal, the recouperation activates, while the brakes arent used
What an amazing experience you guys got to have!
Some of the best intros of any youtuber ive ever seen
I think it's sick that Porche's first EV was a supercar and not a crossover like most over manufacturers. Very fitting.
Nice and funny review as always! But two things I need to comment: range is much higher than EPA values. This has been proven in reality by a lot of KZheadrs and car tests. So maybe you could have mentioned this. Also Tesla doesn't have as high of a range they claim when driven normally. Second point is the regeneration thing. The most effective thing to do is to not regen at all, but to keep the car rolling as long as possible. That and also brake pedal feeling is the reason to not do the 1-pedal-drive. The car is supposed to behave like a combustion engine Porsche. Instead the car only Regens by using the brakes and this up to 265kW which is basically the max. charging speed of the car and this is much more than any Tesla can regen right now and somewhere around 0.4g deceleration which is pretty high and usually you never brake that hard during normal driving. So Porsche claims 90% or so of normal driving is done without mechanical brakes. Keep up the good work, your vids are very good quality both visually and content.
The best part of the video was the laughing at the end...good to see you guys are having fun while making content.
You guys are the best. I don't think you've made a video yet, that hasn't had me in stitches laughing a few times. Aces boys, aces!
6:16 “i feel invincible in this car, i feel like i can take any turn and accelerate straight away” Thats what Richard Hammond thought when he drove the rimac, look what happened to him🙃
Yes until The new Tesla S will scorch your paintwork with 0 to 60 in 1.9 Plus all the other free freebies Porsche doesn't even have figured it out yet. The Tesla is Safer, faster, roomier, intelligent, without turbo BS and for just $140.000. Sorry but Porsche good old days are over for now.
@Real M I totally agree with you, and I am convinced that Elon Musk must have felt like you feel too, when 12 or 13 years ago realized how obsolete and precarious was our transportation system entirely based on fossil fuel that was not only slowly killing us all, but the very cause of many wars and the main financial source of world terrorism.Since 1900 there has been thousands car companies that went bankrupt, each and everyone of them with the desire to impose to the market their different creations. But Elon was not one of those, full of ambition, money lovers, and irresponsible. But a true Genius whose goal was only one and that was to render obsolete and unaffordable the grotesque contraption of the ICE with the insane peculiarity that half its pistons are continually working against the owner interests, belching toxic fumes, intense heat, incrementally burning up our limited fuel reserves, with all existing car manufacturers resembling more like a criminal cartel than responsible manufacturers putting the consumers and the world main interests above any other consideration. The Tesla cars noble birth from the onset become loved and appreciated from the lucky owners of its first models, so much so that it become a cult, but a voluntary cult, as every single Tesla voluntary purchase is, never letting any middle man in between them and the consumer, refusing to spend also a single cent on advertising. Elon is not out to kill the competition , and he could, but his main goal was and is to manufacture the best and most affordable ecological and sustainable car firm on the planet. He couldn't have survived if he had started building little cheap economic boxes, he knew he needed vast sums of money to achieve his dreams, so he started building and selling very expensive models first and subsequently offer cheaper and cheaper models, but all distinguished by their superior performance, low center of gravity and insanely dependability. To make sure that he would not hurt all the other manufacturers except for a survival instinct just only very few of his patents are secret, but most of them are open and free to be used by any other car manufacturer. It had been easy in fact it had become a true inferno for Elon with thousands enemies the world over not only shorting his stock, but creating a mountain of fake news in a desperate attempt to kill Tesla, because in the meantime it had become the number seller of the North America luxury segment, reducing the likes of Mercedes, Audi , BMW |Porsche and other to a secondary role. The German manufacturers responded with many would be "Tesla killers" EV models , but the greasy monkeys have so far all failed, not only to kill Tesla but helped Tesla to even increase its market dominance world wide. At the moments its reservation books are bulging with over a million reservation. They are opening up Giga factories in all continents. The world manufacturers sales because of Covid-10 are down 25 to 30% over last year numbers, while Tesla sales continued their unstoppable 30 to 40 % yearly sales increases. At his moment with Tesla new batteries promising a 56% drop in price, its announced new models in the works with a price tag of $25.000 its cyber truck, it semi trucks and new S model and Roadster in the works too, promising a spine jarring 0-60 in the time of 1.5 second, a top speed of 250MPH and an autonomy of 600 miles, is set surely for world dominance unless the competition starts taking Elon Musk very seriously and concentrate their efforts on EV quality production, which up to now have been only able to produce disappointing models, distinguished only by their exorbitant prices but very poor in quality and technical contents.
@Real M Well, I totally agree with your thinking and that should be the ideal situation, which should please everyone. But it hasn't been so for Tesla, for the entire auto industry turned against them, while their financial friends short Tesla stock for years in a futile attempt to put Tesla out of business for good. Every single BEV that entered the market by the ICE competitors often were launched as "Tesla killers" as widely reported. Well, each and everyone of those "Tesla Killers" in the meantime were not widely welcome in the market, and at all levels were each clobbered by Tesla superiority under every single parameter of comparison. The only present problem Tesla had from day one has been its inability to meet the demand for its cars. I hate and I react to anyone who falsely accuse Tesla product inferiority, for it has none, absolutely none. While their mammoth competitors are trying to compete with a 22 century firm , with 21 century tools. I am very proudly a Tesla fun boy of 82 years of age, totally enthusiastic about our genius Elon, pulling off a royal flush on the entire auto industry, while they were conning people and governments with illegal products because unable to meet emission requirements. So keep your white flag, the car war is just started and unfortunately there are going to be many illustrious victims. Yes let the market do the selection, and we both know what their verdict will look like in a few years.
@Real M Honestly I like the sensible way you express yourself, with obvious knowledge of the car industry, where I have spent 50 years of my working life. but your claim of Obama administration wise investments in new ideas has taken me by surprise. Perhaps we get our information filtered from different sources, but to my honest opinion, Obama achieved a few things in his 8 years tenure. first he got a Noble price for peace, for having spent the whole of his 8 years tenure, with at least one of two wars constantly active, and not a single day of peace for the American forces spread in various war situations especially in the Middle East. then he bailed out GM and Chrysler, before they went bankrupt, but without imposing any limitation or guide to invest in new Ideas, except perhaps for the failed GM BEV venture. Its the Trump business friendly guidance with the heavy tax cut that got the unemployment numbers of Obama 7% down to Trump 3 of last year before the Covid-19 hit. But Obama never invested a red cent in Tesla operations, even though Tesla benefited fro Obama hefty discount accorded originally to GM Volt BEV and the likes.One thing for sure should scare Tesla competitors. The mere fact that abolished car dealerships as well as eliminating advertising totally, sure gives them a good 25 to 30% cost advantage impossible to overcome by his competitors. The other scary aspect of it all is the fact that every single Tesla purchase is absolutely voluntary, it goes a long way to stress the fact that those Tesla owners have to be extremely satisfied of their car, or Tesla would never have achieved the incredible popularity gained. One thing is for sure, I am convinced that in the next 5 or 6 years we are going to see a few great name plates going belly up, so let us stay tuned.
@@sat7755 can I just ask some questions. (Your first comment) Who asked? How it relates to the comment above? What drove you into writing this response? Does it make you feel better? Thanks for the answers, I am really looking forward to them. ☺️
“ but the panels line up” 🤣🤣🤣
Best on KZhead. Y’all make me smile
Ending was hilarious 🤣
Here we are 💯
Coupes that aren’t coupes, turbo trims that don’t have turbos...
Mustangs that aren’t mustangs, trailblazers that aren’t trailblazers, supras that aren’t supras...
...Fart mode that’s not fart mode. This Porsche is a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
Turbo is german for fast. "Superchargers" that aren't superchargers also sound familiar, don't they?
Very soon we’ll have cars that aren’t cars, in fact we kind of already do.
@@sportsdomination9729 except the Supra is a RWD sports car with a 3.0 straight 6 turbo that can hold 800+whp on a stock bottom end.... Which means that yes it is more a Supra than anybody could ask for!!!
Literally just subscribed just off the opening skit. We need more creativity like this in the car community
James @0:40, that look on his face, evil and sadistic, is pure gold.
Sound in EV is a good thing as it gives you a feel of speed and acceleration of car in a way that is more understandable subconsciously unlike looking at speedometer again and again. It would be great if it's generated directly from sound of motors.
'Screen faces out' is for your phone's wireless charging to work, the charging coils inside the phone and the car need to be aligned, which can only be done if the screen faces out.
Easily my favorite car KZhead channel.
Love your videos Throttle House, though I wish you would should the acceleration clips and turning around corners at an angle and speed that gives the viewer a point of reference. Obviously I don't expect you to use other cars as the reference points for the shots, but maybe a higher angle on the camera (it looks like you may already have a drone) and real time clips would be dope.
"but the panels line up." Thank you!
Who care about panel gaps? Do you drive the panel gaps? Stop obsessing about them. I like my Autopilot-enabled Tesla over over-priced Taycan that gets half of my range and probably will need a second mortgage to fix.
@@korswe exactly. Some people think it’s “cool” to just bring up panel gaps. Which BTW, isnt as widespread of an issue as some idiots like to bitch about.
@@seanz6586. Tesla is not the one one with panel gap and paint issues. Check out these KZheadrs. kzhead.info/sun/hrR-h8V6kJxqn3k/bejne.html (Honda and Ford) kzhead.info/sun/rLWcY9qvmYB8ha8/bejne.html (Bentley!)
@@korswe The Bentley scratch and swirls are all outside the paint, and mostly related to adhesive from the protective wrap during transport, or non-professional detailing done at a dealership, but those are not inherent paint defects, and with some money and elbow grease, can be paint corrected away. Tesla paint issues are defects which occurred during the painting process itself. Engineering Explained has a video on his brand new Model 3, which had multiple paint issues, including large dirt particles which was BENEATH the clear coat. You can buff that out since the defect is not on top of the paint, but beneath it. What this shows is that Tesla is devoting its energy on the battery tech of the car, but was and continues to cut corners on the bread and butter nuts and bolts aspects of cars. Tesla has decided that making well screwed together cars is simply not a priority for them, and since many of their customers apparently give them a pass on this issue, I suspect this will continue to not be a priority for them.
@@korswe mate. How much is Elon giving u at night.
"Weeeeee WEeeeeeeeeeeeWeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" -Thomas
The intro 😂😂 great review as always
18:30 I love that weird noise, that's so cute and kinda gives a car more characteristic 😄
Great review, great choice of focus. Things that bother me in my Tesla 3 LR AWD: - turning a corner fast in the Tesla is a scary proposition that makes me miss my 30 year-old 944t. Too much weight into the corners and the auto braking going crazy on certain wheels makes me super nervous and also annoyed because there's no oversteer or shenanigans really. I wind up over-braking before almost all corners now. - little issues about trim, fit, paint - tesla have fixed a lot but it's still a C$75,000 car with these issues. - long term concerns about how this first-gen California-made car will hold up through Canadian winters, rust questions, subscription model questions, and truly awful customer service. - fitting enough stuff for family trips with our two kids. Looks like team Porsche nails all these areas except for luggage. I'll keep the Tesla because that said for the price it's a good choice, but once again, Porsche had created something a level above.
Morning Fellas 🍻👌
Loved the laugh session at the end, made the video
I love the Taycan, and Throttle House! :D
Given how badly so many Americans drive on highways, can you imagine a whole highway filled with this car and its insane performance?
Given how 90% of us will never be able to afford it, thankfully it will never happen
That is what I was thinking. Even the moderate to slow EVs are faster than most normal cars.
@mcnet, granted, but most highways are 65 to 75 MPH max posted speed. So, if an EV has a max speed of 100, it really isn't that much of a loss.
@mcnet I beleive the Taycan has a top speed of 155mph. Thats why the 2 speed gearbox. Also, electric vehicles are expensive, so they are fast. They will become commodities, and someone will come up with a 2 stage, tiny motor, super cheap car that doesn't make the driver car sick.
@@raullasvegas its 167 mph
I m with Thomas man, not only does it sound cool, but also is safer to pedestrians to hear something coming
Its pumped in through the speakers you dont hear Shit outside 🥶
@BananaRama1312 actually it's the law that vehicle has to omit sound for safety reasons. So try agsin
@@claytonhaag6931 youre right i concede
You guys are fast becoming the best ever car journos
Can't wait to see the next generation of this thing. Hopefully it has a range of at least 300 miles, charges even faster, and has sexier exterior styling.
