Here’s the thing about electric cars: most of them feel like laptops with wheels. But the Porsche Taycan Turbo S? This isn’t a gadget. It’s a guided missile disguised as a four-door saloon. It looks like a spaceship. It accelerates like you’ve just been rear-ended by an asteroid. And unlike other EVs, it’s been designed by people who actually like driving. Key Specs & Credentials Model: Taycan Performance Plus Turbo S 93.4kWh, 4WD, Auto Power: Up to 761 PS with overboost — that’s not a typo 0–62 mph: About 2.8 seconds (which is frankly absurd) Top speed: 162 mph (electronically limited, of course) Range: Around 250–280 miles depending on your right foot Charging: 11kW on-board charger — slow at home, terrifyingly quick on a rapid DC Luxury & tech: Adaptive air suspension, premium leather, enough screens to run NASA, four doors for the family Insurance group: Top-end, as you’d expect — Group 50 territory Price when new: A faintly ridiculous £140,000+ with options Plant your right foot and the world doesn’t so much blur as disappear. Your internal organs migrate into the boot, your passengers scream, and you — well, you just sit there in silence, because there’s no engine noise, just the faint whirr of inevitability. This is not a car. It’s a statement. A Porsche that doesn’t drink petrol, doesn’t shout, doesn’t even rumble — yet it will out-drag almost anything else on the road. Supercars, superbikes, even the smug bloke in his Tesla — all get annihilated. And yet, it’s still a Porsche. The steering is precise, the brakes could stop a freight train, and the cabin feels like the cockpit of a private jet. You can take your kids to school in it. You can cruise across Europe in it. But when the mood strikes, it becomes a ballistic missile with cupholders. If you want an electric car that makes you laugh like a lunatic every single time you drive it, this is the one. Just don’t expect subtlety.
