Bought a Taycan Turbo S

[ArabianOak]

Hi Gang,

Just picked up a taycan turbo s...coming from the plaid all I can say is wow...it's like 90 percent of the plaid power with porsche handling, interior and insane electronics...still have the Aston but it's pending sale (waiting on the guy to get his financing done). Pics...and yes dragy soon...guessing 10.3@130!

Dope. I am not sure how I feel about this being called a Turbo S. Also not sure how I feel about the front end. Your colorway is the nicest I have scene though. Congrats.

Did you sell it yet?

I can’t stop laughing. Unsure who said it but they said the Aston would be sold within a couple of weeks. Cool car man.

You must pay a LOT of sales tax in a year.....

Lol at all of the above.

Turbo? I don't follow anything EV at all but this isn't a hybrid right??

Congratulations on both your acquisition of your Taycan "Turbo" S and the pending sale of your Aston Martin. Piggybacking on what @specracer said, the taxman must LOVE you. LOL.

@5.0 Hatch, it's not a hybrid. Two batteries making 750hp. I'm confused why Porsche named it "Turbo". Why not "eTurbo"?

 

[CobraBob]

Okay, so why does Porsche call this a "Turbo" S?

"That may seem strange, but to Porsche, the Turbo name is more than a representation of the car's forced induction. Instead, the Turbo name is given to a model's top performance trim. Porsche believes the peppier Taycan deserves the Turbo moniker."

Weird IMO!

No Porsche calls they're top models turbo even if it isn't. Lol

You change cars more than Buford Pusser

 

[ArabianOak]

I'll have some videos soon as well...

Also, I don’t pay taxes as I am using trade credits and doing deals through a local dealer. I do pay 5 percent to the dealer on my Aston sale.

Kind of like how the top-tier AMGs are all 63, even with a 4.0 V8 (and now a 2.0 turbo 4 in the C63). It's a trim level people got used to.

 

[Steve@TF]

they should have called it a tErbo. a whole new line of top performance EV porsches. or at least E-turbo.

nobody will care, until it his the 911.....
