The 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S is a serious machine. Unlike other sports EV's, which seem to offer thrilling acceleration but ultimately mean to replace driving, rather than improving it, the Taycan is the driver's EV. It's the EV designed and built by people who have won every major endurance race ever hosted. Its new 800V architecture, stunning good looks, and positively bonkers pace combined with the seriousness of build quality you get from Porsche, combines to make the best production EV money can buy.
Porsche provided the vehicle, insurance, and free access to a charging station for this review.
As soon as you hear Matt giggling like a teenager whose voice has just dropped, you know its a good car lol
It's guilty-giggle good, lol.
Always. 👍
Hahah “
Read this as soon as he did it 😂
Good as a 2012 Model S. 😂😂😂😂 Roadster is gona shit on this overpriced trash.
I laughed way too hard at the realization of "driving on parkways and parking on driveways".

i've seen all the one takes, and this is the first one that I'm sitting here thinking, holy shit, that's fast...
B H really? The launch honestly looked underwhelming to me after everything he was saying
There was a 1000 hp Evo he drove once and that was bonkers fast that he really pushed. This car looks like you could get into trouble way too easily.

When he passed that motorcycle mans was going lightspeed
right? this video is convincing me that EV is (sadly) the future...
"SPEED LIMIT 50" "RADAR ENFORCED" mhmm
Thats only for poor people.
That just lets you know there's no air enforcement, heheh.
MEANWHILE IN MEXICO
Radar enforced just means that the local police have access to radar guns lol. Only enforced if the cops are out, which they never are, because theres nowhere for them to pull over on the canyon roads in malibu

I feel the acceleration just by watching it. Geez
Olivier Rufiange it reminds me of that vf supercharged lambo video he did. Car moves like a spaceship.
@kkthxk He also beat on it hard for an extended time which most owners will only do a fraction of the time (on ramp/off ramp, etc.)....notice it did not go into limp mode like a certain other EV brand.

Perfect explanation at the end of the Porsche vs Tesla. Porsche made a car to enhance your driving experience.
facts, but respect to Tesla as this car wouldnt have been made so soon if it wasnt for Elon.
@@chriswhitaker9720 Not really, that honour goes to GM. Of all companies. The EV1 was... very ahead of it's time, and started the EV conversation to begin with, showed that their is a market to be had. A pity that GM would go on to do EVERYTHING that they could to bury it. Tesla can at least say that they popularized the idea to the point that the traditional manufactures took notice, which to be fair was necessary. That said, if things were different (say GM had more faith in the EV1)... I am not sure that Elon would have made the same push, because if he didn't do it, someone else might have.
Look up what GM did to EFVs lmfao they didnt do shit

He is a total idiot for criticizing the assistant though. It is only reacting to the keyword "Porsche", which he uses three times in every sentence.
Somebody out there characterized the Taycan Turbo S acceleration as "time travel". Seems accurate here.
Nah, this is more accurate kzhead.info/sun/f9WPmNWXrKyjmKc/bejne.html

@@boltmix7294 That Porsche is faster than the Taycan. The Lambo is really that fast that it makes the Turbo seem like it's standing still
it sounds like a fighter jet ripping through the canyons
I like that in otherwise silent electric vehicles, those "fake engine noises", that few like normally, does then have a valid function as an audio cue about your speed.
Apparently the sounds are actually amplified sounds from the electric motors and "transmission" with the 2 speed. The speakers just introduce that sound into the cabin. I was never a fan of electric cars but this is the first one I like because it keeps the joy of driving and control present with the power of electric motors very nice 😍 and it's pretty cool
True
The way it burns through juice when driven aggressively it doesn’t cause range anxiety it causes rage anxiety!

@@MagicAyrtonforever thanks for answering the question nobody asked
@@takanara7 i like new tech, i really do. but that whole need to replace buttons in cars with either touch screens, gestures, or voice commands is just completely stupid. pushing a physical button doesn't require me to take my eyes off the road, works every time, is faster than saying what the button does, and doesn't make me look like a spastic waving my hands around in front of the center console. give me my buttons back so i can look at the road again...
It is.

@JS 09 As a german speaker i think it's better for English speakers to just say porsh. You'll be pronouncing it wrong either way even if you say porsha. Porsh is more coherent to the language. Also it might be a family name but it's also just a brand. So no need to be too anal about it.
This is a 4dr SEDAN and Matt said, "This thing is SO FAST!" more times than I've ever heard him say in any other One Take!? I love it!
He also said that the car it's been built from a very serious people more than 3 times. He was extremely impressed and I would say that this is the first car that shows how the future proper cars would look like.
I actually love the sound it makes! its exactly how you would imagine a German EV to sound! Thank You Jetsons!!!
When Matt accelerated at the start it looked like he pushed him self back the seat as hard as he could lol
kzhead.info/sun/qrxycdiggGqYloE/bejne.html The launch control is no joke!
Love your intro. About the 800v architecture . Few automotive vloggers or journalists stress enough that it's all about charging time. Well done!

I think the voice assistant is being activated by the phrase "Hey Porsche" which it may be mishearing every time you say Porsche.
So you're not suppose to talk about Porsche while driving a Porsche with your frds. Right. Brilliant.
@@Jason.W. works the same on Mercedes and BMW.
You just have to say Porsche for it to activate. You can turn it off in the settings.

Biker probably thought he had just seen a ghost 👻 car.
One of my favorite videos by Matt. Why? Because he is showing you how good the car is simply by his emotions while driving.
Had to watch after the JRE podcast

Yea this dude is a strong tesla hater. But of course he's gonna say tesla fanboys are gonna go after him. But his views are just biased
@@shiv5927 Tesla builds mediocre cars. Build quality is shotty , for being electric they arent proving to be very reliable let alone more reliable the ICE , And considering Tesla's are supposed to be "luxury cars" excluding the model 3 , they are sub par compared to other luxury cars of equal value when it comes to features. when you buy a Tesla (other than the model 3) you are getting a car thats no where near as good as it should be for the price. I wouldn't mind a model 3 , it seems to be priced well for what you get , and complaints seem to be pretty minimal but other than the Model 3 i wouldn't touch a Tesla. ya Tesla has the biggest range , but thats really all they have going for them IMO. Also i cant Stand Tesla's approach to Owner maintenance , by which i mean they basically absolutely don't want you working on the car at all , and they make getting parts very difficult and or impossible depending on the part you need.
Best review I've seen in a long time. That Taycan is 18 miles in 18 minutes with three u-turns-fast. Damn.
Ive just realized that thanks to you. Holy fuck that thing is fast and sexy
That's sweet but i was admiring a white 2008 Viper ACR today (from my c6) and that v10 w/ stick shift is calling me! it's like with watches, a quarts might be more practical but a mechanical speedmaster or navitimer just makes me happy
Great video. Haven't watched in a while, sadly. Subscribed back when you were doing cleaning videos with your C5... now, you're close to a million subs. Just awesome, well deserved.
Remember back in the 80's a Everything was "TURBO" lol. Had a pair of turbo shades. 😎
Makes me think that electric cars might actually be enjoyable to have in the future. Once they become affordable. Well done Porsche!
Hopefully the hype surrounding solid state batteries is also legit and comes to fruition soon. Then battery EV's will be even lighter and more functional.
@@Mike.W.Dasher glass batteries and this whole ice thing is over.
Hydrogen cars are the future.
@@Speed_7545 I wouldn't mind that, but building the infrastructure for hydrogen fueling stations would be a mammoth undertaking. And to be honest, I'm not sure how I would feel about driving a car with pressurized combustible fuel tanks under my ass. I'll stick with ICE, until maybe when/if solid state batteries hit the market, then I will reevaluate. lol
Captain Price I really thought that BMW was going to make that happen with there concepts from years ago.
When heard they were going to use Turbo" on this car, all I could think of it the Tyco and Nikko R/C Toys from the 80's and 90's that had a "turbo" thing that would bump the power output if you moved the stick far enough on the controller!
GreenJeep1998 same here, everyone I know had an r/c turbo hopper car. only two radio frequency controllers tho so you could mess up a day if you were the same😂
7:52 this is soo satisfying omg... when I test drove BMW I3 and Hyndai Kona electric I felt like I was god because of instant throttle.. this looks so amazing I so want one :(
Buy one

This is one of the most intense vids I've watched in a while. I'm too blazed for that camera. He is sticking real nice. You dont even hear the tires breaking lose at all
I’ve been waiting for this video since Matt was on JRE a few days ago and talked about this car.
People disliking the turbo badging don't remember when "turbo" was a button on your PC
And intel still have the turbo boost technology even until now. And my air conditioner at home has "jet" mode. And the apps on windows phone wasn't really run on windowed interface.
And turbo is from Greek meaning to spin! I think it suits the electric motors cuz they can spin no joke!
That acceleration is breathtaking. No other way to put it
AutoRev you’re breath taking
@@lwwells You're all breathtaking!
Sad thing is that if you want to have fun on twisty roads it's not as nimble or fun as a 911.
Captain Price you could literally get any 911 model for the price of this thing, minus the GT2 RS
The Taycan Turbo S, to be precise
Matt I love watching these cars get pushed on real roads! Thank you.

@@eliotsalandybrown he's still committing a felony on KZhead
Biker gives a thumbs up at 12:32 when he passes him again. Love to see that.
People complain about the “sLoW tOp SpEeD” but let’s be real, when are you ever going to hit the top speed of a car on the road? For a street car, the acceleration is so much more important.
There ist one thing to clarify: the Taycan recuperates with 265kW and does this when you brake. This is really sharp braking without using the actual brakes.
@n s Don't know (nor will I ever be able to test this car;-) ). I also don't know if you can actually choose how to brake. What I learned from some German videos was what Porsche employees said: the Taycan does about 80% of the braking events by recuperation. They decided to only use recuperation when you actually use the brake pedal. It makes some kind of sense if you recuperate with 260kW to do it this way because one pedal driving won't be fun with that much recuperation power. Probably also helps the sports car feeling. Realistically, the Taycan is probably the only commercial EV which is designed as a sports car. It is always compared to the Model S, but the Model S is not really sports car. On the other hand, it is the benchmark for EV performance. So what else one should compare the Taycan to...? I just saw some videos where people have driven it even on a race track in Germany using basically only the recuperation. When it starts using the real breaks, it goes almost already to ABS. Anyhow, I think the Taycan must a hell lot of fun to drive, if you can afford the price ;-).
this is your best video...you really stepped up your driving game on this one and it was fun to watch
50 just seems so fast on that road :-)! Nice driving! I watched this video when it came out, decided to test drive a Turbo S in February, decided you were correct (it is too fast), ordered a 4S and picked it up in August. I thought I would regret losing my 991 but I am not. BTW I get 280 miles on a full battery.
That seemed incredibly smooth.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen Matt so happy in a car
Love your reviews man, real knowledgeable & professional. Hope you hit a mill by Xmas
Loved the vid Matt. The car clearly had you Happy! What a weapon. Guess the aftermarket wheel companies are getting ready lol
I’ve completely ignored the EV revolution.....Until now! Thanks Matt

That’s crazy fast. This is begging to become my favorite electric car currently
N96ZG What other electric cars do you own?
Love your videos buddy you are a awesome guy! I have a 997.1 all redone and build modestly.. and a rubicon recon and a bmw r1200rt so i love my toys!! May i ask how many kilometres was the run to use 40% of the battery.. i know you were into it pretty good but still just wondering!
That's a really interesting point about the coasting in the Porsche, I haven't heard anyone else discuss that before. Awesome video!
Anyone else here because of James May?
Matt's workout routine is working, he looks to be in much better shape!
May did a video with Matt? Where do I find this?
The only Taycan review I have watched and might I add deliberately so... Thank you Matt
I love that there is no ‘coasting brake regeneration’ and that you are able to used that power. ...kCoasting’ is a very key part of increasing fuel efficiency as well as preventing traffic congestion and other traffic problems.
What a great car, we can't wait for everyone to start enjoying the power and thrill of the Porsche Taycan. Nice to see you enjoyed the car even without the normal Porsche exhaust notes.

One of the vendors at the office has a Tycan. I saw it for the first time a few weeks ago and in person this is one of the most beautiful vehicles ever made. Porsche knocked it out of the park on this one. I'm not a 4-door kind of guy but this had me reconsidering.
Another winner for Porsche! Great video, Matt. Love what you do. Thank you!
Someone's heart has been Taycan ;)
I'm happy that the Mission E made it to production with very little change. I'm happy that a serious car company has jumped in with both feat into the EV race. I'm very happy that its a company with a reputation for taking care of their customers long after the ink is dry. I am very sad that the name Mission E didn't make it to market.
I love that the biker you passed at 7:54 gives you the thumbs up at 12:33 when you're heading back!
Great video! As someone who loves Porsche but not a super fan of EV's, the Taycan is capturing my heart.
I want some *really* loud “Jetson” sounds 😂 Idle, acceleration and deceleration.
James May brought me here :-)
So excited to see the stats on the electric 911 variant . A track performance 911 with lower center of gravity and much more power. Really going to be some amazing entries in the electric market and a performance Porsche with carbon ceramics and track tuned suspension. Unreal! The 911E 911EGT3 will be bonkers. We're going to see some amazing things the next few years .
Great taste, Video starts with an AP Royal Oak Next Rolex GMT, in a Porsche Taycan, can't get better than that 👌👌👌

7:50 Holy shit. It should NOT be that easy to pass a bike O_O
Every bike is easy to pass when they don't try.
Multitalent that’s just a 600. We run away from those in our trucks easily. They’re not fast at all.
@@MrPland1992 you do NOT run away from 600cc sport bikes!!! They will leave your truck for dead!!! However.... This looked like an SV650, they are not sport bikes. They are comfy fun cruisers, they will do 0-60 pretty quick but over 80 they die pretty fast!!! But yes he didn't try at all which helps a ton. If you ever "raced" a 600 sport bike and believe you actually won, i assure you its because he didn't try at all😂😂😂
Raymond Newbill agreed mate, some people don’t understand the speed a bike is capable off nor the skill necessary to ride. People just see them and don’t see them. an 04 r6 can do an 11 sec quarter and 0-60 in 3.5 If a rider isn’t confident or skilled enough he won’t get these numbers... but a truck below a 1000hp ? I can’t see that happening.
@@raymondnewbill5294 Our trucks aren't slouches, you can check out mine on my page. But we have walked many 600's in a jeep srt8(the old one) with 4 people in the car and in a ram 1500 with bolt ons. Not sure how much balls it takes to flat out a bike on the worlds widest freeway.. A 11 second silverado is just a cam ,stall and gears. 4 door diesel trucks out here run 11's with only a tune.. A friend has several 350+hp turbo bikes though, really curious what that feels like.
You melted my brain with that "Drive on parkways, park in driveways" truth.
Matt... Outstanding video and thank you for giving us the real facts. 17 mi and depleted 40% of the battery in a Taycan Turbo S by the end of the KZhead video. That's equivalent to 42.5 miles on a full charger. None of us will be driving the car that hard but food for thought if you think you ever would.

That initial hard launch was nuts. These EV's really do accelerate like no other with all that instant torque from those electric motors. Always a fun feeling driving ANY ev. Toyota Prius and Nissan Leaf included haha.
Aeropress ad was satisfying to watch, good colab. Stands out in a sea of forced YT advertisements, I know you actually love it cause I use mine every day. Thing is marvel of engineering simplicity.
Here after James May suggested watching this on Drivetribe
Ok, so what is this about?
this car is so quick hahah, I predict about 4 will still be alive this time next year, and those will be owned by professional racing drivers
I really do feel like Porsche should make you get a racing license before you're allowed to buy one.
great video as usual and thanks for the aeropress go info , i order it right away.
Great video... Absolutely astonishing vehicle... So well done. Both looks and performance. I do believe that you CAN turn on the Regen. It can Regen at a very high rate if you set it to do so. But in track mode is turn that off..
was that motorcycle standing still?
I think I would prefer the 2 pedal with lift off coasting than 1 pedal with lift off braking. Very neat car to offer a counterpoint to Tesla.
Ron Lewis You you like to life to drive?
@@MossMini Not sure what you're asking exactly, but I do like to drive. Hence I enjoy watching Matt's driving reactions with different cars.
would be nice to have the option, think i heard him say somewhere you dont even have the option in this car. made it seem like when you take your foot off the gas it just coasts, im so used to engine braking in ICE vehicles in traffic. made it seem like it would be like throwing it into neutral every time you take your foot off the gas.
You can turn off lift-off regen in Teslas if you want.
@@ab2tract I'd like if you could turn it on and off with a paddle, sometimes you want to coast other times you want to suck power back into the battery.
I saw one today on the switchbacks of Palos Verde Dr East.... looked exactly like this. Likely the same car. It looked VERY fast from a dead start. Whirrrrrrr ... and it disappeared. Cool video.
2:09 think of volts like rpm and amps like torque .. put them together (multiply) and you have kw or hp .. more volts means you can run the same amps and have more power ... big amps are what needs the fat low resistance cable, just as with big torque you need fatter axles .. so more volts means you can more effectively exploit the potential of the same approx setup (with a few tweaks to keep those volts where they belong)
