Porsche Has Completely Leveled Up Their Electric Cars - Taycan Turbo GT

Bad news for Porsche Taycan owners: their electric car technology is evolving fast. The latest generation of Taycan is here, and the lineup is better in nearly every single way. More battery, greater efficiency, less weight, more performance.
The peak of the EV performance sedan pyramid has three contenders, the Model S Plaid, the Lucid Air Sapphire, and Porsche’s latest addition to the mix - the Taycan Turbo GT, which seeks to be the track king. And with the newest generation of the Taycan, Porsche really has leveled up their EV game, with a concerted effort towards pushing the boundaries that’s refreshing to see from a legacy automaker.
We're going to deep dive into four key aspects of the new Taycan:
1. The battery.
2. The charging.
3. The powertrain.
4. The suspension.

    That’s what happens when you’re at an immature stage of a technology/product. ICE cars are more incremental because they have been incrementing for over 100 years already. Things like computers, smartphone and TVs also used to get noticeably better with each iteration but they’re so good and the current tech is so mature that now if you wait a few generations the difference is still not that much for real world usage.

    When you've played around with Porsche's configurator you can see that the tech isn't even that expensive. Porsche sells exclusivity and personalisation. To get the manual bound in the same leather as your seats cost something like 200 bucks. Or to get the keyfob cover in your car's color is a hundred bucks or so. Endless customization options. To get the ADAS package doesn't really cost much more than other manufacturers. It's the leather in fancy colors, with accent stitching and hundreds of color options, materials etc that blows up your pricing.

    There was never enough released about the Bose one to tell how well it was implemented, but the videos of the Lexus with it from the 1990s looked almost identical to the content here. I suspect the Bose system never caught on because it needed a huge (By the standards of the time) battery. Using the energy taken from the suspension damping to charge the battery would fully close the loop for an electric car.

    Wow, the clips of the new active suspension are so impressive! I got to briefly drive a Tycan Turbo S last year and was already completely blown away by its suspension - I thought it couldn't be as perfect as I imagined/heard but it really was (it was the first Porsche I drove and I never experienced a suspension in that league in other cars). Looking at those comparison clips, it feels like the new suspension must be truly surreal! IIRC there is also a setting to allow some body roll as the absence of body roll can feel quite weird? I cannot wait to experience it for myself someday (hopefully).

    Finally someone's put active suspension into production. Bose prototyped an electric system back in the 1990s that went nowhere (Look for videos of it installed in a Lexus LS400, where they're not only doing all the same things as the Porsche does in this video, but they also use the suspension to make the car jump over things, just for fun 🙂). I suspect the main thing that stopped the Bose system making production was that it required a big battery (Compared to the 12V starter battery in an IC engined car) to run. Electric cars already have batteries massively bigger than needed to run active suspension, but until now nobody has made use of them for suspension, which has always struck me as a massive missed opportunity. It wouldn't be hard to set up a system like this so the energy usually lost to suspension damping charges the battery, making driving rough roads both smoother for the driver and passengers and more efficient. The biggest issue with any system like this is to make sure it fails safely though - imagine the harm this type of suspension could do if it decided to rattle the life out of the passengers or do exactly the wrong thing to maintain grip around a bend due to false readings from the sensors measuring the road surface.

I drove a C5 with hydropneumatic suspension nearly 20 years ago, near enough the last they made with it, and while the ride on bad roads was uncannily impressive, the engine was so gutless it was borderline dangerous, so I got a 1.9 TDI Octavia instead, which pulled much harder, and the ride was still more than good enough. The auto leveling in the Citroen suspension would come in useful when towing or carrying heavy stuff too - keeps the car level for better handling and stops the lights from dazzling oncoming drivers.

    From one nerd to another re the regenerative braking strategies of Tesla vs Porsche: As a former Model 3 and current E-tron GT owner I prefer the one pedal approach taken by Tesla, but there’s one huge exception. An exception so big that I can’t stand Tesla handling at the limit; I suspect it forced Porsche in the direction they took. Braking, regen or otherwise, works to transfer weight forwards. Thus in a Tesla with one pedal driving lifting effectively tightens the car’s line towards an apex. This works great… until you push hard enough that stability control decides to intervene. Then Tesla stops regenerative braking completely, the nose unexpectedly doesn’t tuck, the car doesn’t slow and you’re instantly a car’s width away from where you expected to be. I’ll concede most people’s goal is to never push their cars hard enough to invoke stability control. For those that do, however, feet of uncertainty at an apex depending on the car’s mood is unacceptable. I get why Tesla does it- their #1 job is to insure the car doesn’t spin with TC on. The regen braking causes the rotation so that must be removed. In the Porsche, on the other hand, the driver’s foot is causing the deceleration/ rotation, not the car, and the car doesn’t arbitrarily take the brake pedal away. The result is a more consistent experience that’s both far more enjoyable and safer to push to the limit. If you want to see the effect yourself without it biting you simply go in hot into a spacious cloverleaf/ sweeper, lift abruptly to get the rear moving, gather it up and then try lifting again… Probably the worst thing about Tesla handling IMHO.

    Performance and Plaid models have track mode to change these settings for people who do like to drive their cars near/at the limit. Have been plenty happy with the way my Model 3 P functions at autocross and on the big boy track. The place I have noticed this is an issue is in the snow, I need to put my car in track mode to make it more predictable. That being said, I'd trade my M3P immediately for the Taycan GT if I could afford it.

    makes sense🤔 Personally I can't stand one pedal driving cause I dislike having to constantly hold the pedal. I'm more of a coaster. So I accelerate to then if I'm gonna stay at that speed for a longer time I'll activate cruise control. If I see a red light in the distance I just lift off and let the car roll and use steering wheel paddles for regen and break pedal at the very end for fine control (cause the automatics can't stop as smoothly as I can).

    I have an older Bolt for daily running about. Being an enthusiast driver with a manual Porsche and lifted off-road truck, both of which require a lot of input that I enjoy. The one thing on the Bolt that I like to keep me busy and is fun to use, is the shift leaver that allows quick jumping from very little regen to high regen. Also for even more regen is the steering wheel paddle. These variable inputs are fun to use and playing with them gives me a bit more range and entertainment when setting up into corners.

    Really depends on if you buy the expensive luxury cars or the more affordable cars for regular people. For example if you bought a Hyundai Ioniq for 33k€ seven years ago and then drove it 150-200k kilometers it'd still be worth 16.5k€ today. 2018 Leafs hold up pretty well in value too, up to around 55-60% after 6 years.
