**A Closer Look at the Porsche Taycan GTS**

As I sit down to review the Porsche Taycan GTS, I'm excited to share my hands-on experience with this electrifying vehicle. The first thing that caught my attention was how nice the car looks - its sleek design is undeniable, and it's easy to see why it's become a best-seller in the Netherlands.

**The Driving Experience**

One of the standout features of the Taycan GTS is its exceptional comfort. I was surprised by how well-appointed the interior feels, especially considering it's an electric car. The air suspension system is truly impressive, and I couldn't help but notice that it's similar to the one found in a Porsche Panamera. But what sets the Taycan apart is its unique blend of comfort and handling - it's like driving on clouds. Whether I'm cruising down the highway or tackling twisty roads, the car feels incredibly comfortable.

Of course, as an electric car, there are some limitations when it comes to performance. However, the GTS makes up for it in spades. With its 598 horsepower on tap, this car can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds - and with launch control, it's even faster at 8.07 seconds to 200 km/h. That's incredibly quick, especially when you consider that the base model Taycan does it in 8.3 seconds. And yet, on the highway or at more leisurely speeds, the car feels surprisingly relaxed, making it perfect for long road trips.

**Handling and Dynamics**

One of the things that sets the GTS apart from other Taycan models is its exceptional handling and dynamics. When I put it in Sport Plus mode, the car truly comes alive - the steering is razor-sharp, and the turn-in is incredibly precise. It's like driving a Porsche 911, but with the added benefit of electric power. And when I hit the track or tackle challenging roads, the GTS proves itself to be an absolute blast to drive.

Of course, not everyone will need the extreme performance of the Taycan GTS. But for those who want that extra edge - whether it's for spirited driving or just for the thrill of accelerating hard from a standstill - this car delivers. And with its unique blend of comfort and handling, it's an absolute joy to drive every day.

**Sound and Design**

Another one of the GTS's charms is its sound system - Porsche has made sure that this car sounds incredibly loud and engaging, even on lower power settings. But when you really put the pedal down, the sound becomes truly exhilarating. It's like nothing else I've ever experienced in an electric car before.

The interior design is also worth noting, particularly in terms of materials and build quality. The Taycan GTS looks incredibly premium, with a range of luxurious materials and finishes that make it feel like a high-end sports car. And when you sit inside the cabin, you can't help but be impressed by the comfort and sophistication on display.

**Comparison to Other Models**

So how does the GTS compare to other Porsche models, particularly the 4S? While the 4S is certainly a great car in its own right, the GTS has some key advantages - particularly when it comes to handling and dynamics. But if you're looking for a more relaxed driving experience or don't need that extra edge, the 4S might be a better choice.

As for the Taycan EQS, which is another electrified Porsche model, it's worth noting that both cars have their own strengths and weaknesses. While the EQS has a bigger range than the GTS, the latter offers some key advantages in terms of handling and performance - making it an excellent choice for those who want to experience the full potential of electric power.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, the Porsche Taycan GTS is an exceptional car that delivers on almost every level. Its unique blend of comfort, handling, and performance make it a joy to drive, whether you're cruising down the highway or tackling twisty roads. And with its impressive acceleration and responsive steering, it's no wonder this car has become a best-seller in the Netherlands. If you're looking for an electrified Porsche that delivers on every promise, look no further than the GTS.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this pov review by auto top now my name is max and today we are taking a look at the latest addition to the porsche taken lineup this is the taken gts sport turismo so with the introduction of this car two new things were introduced both the gts and the sport charisma which is basically the cross turismo with a little bit less plastic off-road stuff and you can't raise the air suspension as high as with the cross turismo other than that it's basically the same thing it's a bit more sporty and it's of course the sort of estate car version station wagon i absolutely adore this car i have told you guys in the past that i love this car and it's no different with this gts now today i'm going to show you around it we're going to take a look at the spec we're going to take a look at what the gts gets as standard and then we'll take it for a drive towards the ultraman for an old man blast now the spec on this car is very very cool we've got this red car with all the black accents you get on the gts and i have to say i've been driving around four days now i think and the reactions of people are well they say everything it's people are watching people are turning around on their bicycles even like really stretching their necks to take a good look at this car and i think that's mainly down to this red and the contrast with all that black it looks super super cool it's a very wide car as well of course and i think that is also part of why people seem to struggle to place it they seem to think like what the hell is that which i really like so the gts when it was introduced had the biggest range of all cars but that was down to some new software thing that porsche applied to the gts first but all the other cars got that later on as well so maximum range is like 491 kilometers wltp uh combined range and that is basically the same as all the ti cans i think the rear-wheel drive version with the performance battery plus has the best range but it sits right in between the 4s and the turbo this car now of course the gts also gets some nice goodies because it has to be the best handling version of the lineup so we have these new wheels for the gts they are gorgeous if you ask me 21 inch and they save around 5 kilos on the way not around they say 5 kilos on the weight compared to a regular set of wheels the 21 inch mission e wheels and if you select these wheels you also get some nice performance rubber so these are goodyear eagle f1 tires and this is like a more sporty tire if you go for the regular wheel all tires are more range oriented and this is more sporty driving oriented which is nice brakes quite good i would say of course this is a very very heavy car 2300 kilos and that is the moment you feel that weight when you hit the brakes the brake pedal is quite firm so you have to really press it quite hard and when you do it does slow down pretty well so that is the moment you feel that of course we've got the charge ports with the swipe unlock yeah there we go very nice fast charging also available i actually just did that so this is still an issue for us sometimes we have to charge and then you end up at a charge point that doesn't work and this happens way too many times i don't understand how people do that we've had two charge points today that didn't work one in germany where you had to enter like your credit card details didn't work one at a mcdonald's somewhere in the netherlands and we plugged it in didn't work and then we went to another one a fast charger and that did work so that was like a high performance charger or whatever they called and i charged up in no time you can go from five percent to eighty percent in 22 and a half minutes which is very impressive that is what i like about this car it works and when you charge it it charges up fast it's 800 volt architecture so it doesn't overheat as quickly you can extract performance from it and it charges up really quickly now another thing you get on the gts this car as standard has air suspension it's basically the system from the panamera but it is magic on this car we've talked about this before the gts gets a higher spring rate and the air suspension has been tweaked as well so it has three chamber air suspension now if you ride in normal mode it uses all three chambers when you go to sport or sport plus it only uses one chamber and that is different in the 4s i think if you go to sport plus it's one sport is two normal is three chambers so it is a bit more stiff it's you know it's a bit more aimed at sporty driving it also has the electric motors from a turbo and the electric motor at the rear is more powerful than the one at the front and that means that you have a more of a rear wheel drive biased as well so that is also for the gts which is pretty cool there are quite a few features you get on the gts which i think you know that's really nice also because the price difference between a taken 4s and this is quite large i think a 4s sport turismo is 112 here in the netherlands and the gts is 138 starts at 138 so that is quite a big difference now this of course is the sport turismo part it adds 25 kilos to the weight of the car but you know at a 2300 kilowatt that doesn't really do anything and i really really like it i think this is prettier than the regular thai can they can whatever i really like the rear of this car when you drive behind it you have it is so wide i think it's like almost as wide or as wide as a tesla model x which is quite insane i really like the rear of this car boot space of course you have a nice station wagon so that is decent i would say it's not ground breaking and then at the front we've got a frog i'll show you guys that one as well so this is a little extra space for your cable and stuff like that but it is not bad storage wise and then on the interior you also get some nice gts stuff so you get a lot of this stuff which is race stacks basically alcantara and uh you get a lot of it i mean this entire center console is covered in it uh this armrest completely alcatara the seats the door panels here the roof the dash down low as well i mean it is everywhere you can even cover the mirror in race tax and that is a 364 euro option don't do that please don't throw away your money like that but you can also choose to have it removed as an option which i think i would do i really like the steering wheel in racetext alcantara because you know it's a gts so you have the sporty steering wheel but this stuff i mean that is just going to get gross and uh i i would prefer to have like leather or whatever uh vegan leather probably but uh yeah i would i would probably opt out of all this alcantara but hey it's a gts so you get it anyway gts down low here as well on the door sill and on the seats these seats are very nice super comfy supportive you have that headrest that extends as you can see quite far and interior wise cover that quickly you have two screens talked about this before this is beautiful that is too this is a bit less beautiful doesn't really feel as luxurious as it should feels a bit outdated to be honest uh all the it works fine i mean the touchscreen and stuff it all works perfectly but i don't know i don't really like the look of it it feels like 2015 renault a little bit porsche lovers are now screaming at me behind their phone or computer or whatever but that is just the way i feel i really love this display here this is super super sharp quick to respond and that one is beautiful as well we've got a little bit of carbon fiber on the steering wheel as well and that is basically it for the interior i've covered this car a lot in the past for the gts they also introduced a new option for the roof i think you can have i don't think we've got it but uh you can make it like opaque so that you don't have that sun hitting your face but i don't think we've got that because i would think it would be in here and it's not now performance wise and power wise we've got a 93.4 kilowatt hour battery pack and that is basically the same across the range with 598 horsepower and 850 newton meters of torque in over boost so that is when you use launch control only then you get the maximum amount of power which is not that much compared to a 4s with the performance battery plus which has like 571 horsepower in over boost now range-wise it's basically the same as well and compared to a turbo that has 680 horsepower so the gts it's right in the middle there now of course i am using the 4s base price if you go inspect that performance battery plus of course they will be closer together but anyway i seem to care more about range than about power with these electric cars at least with that they can because it it it's such a nice car but it's sometimes let down by the range when you start driving it you know harder obviously like all electric cars are okay so let's take it for a drive which is amazing i absolutely love driving a take-hand because it is so comfy the air suspension on this car is absolute magic it just it just is as i said it's basically the same system you get on a porsche panamera but something about this car feels much much better i don't know what it is it might be the fact that you're so low down or the the center of gravity is so low or or that it's so wide i don't know it is so comfortable and at the same time with this gts even more than with the other take-hands the turn-in and the steering feel and the directness is so amazing okay so let's go for sport plus launch control foot on the brake full throttle oh and then you have a shift there just before 100 an hour and uh that is 3.6 seconds from zero to 100 we've been able to do porsche says it will do 3.7 but it's a little bit quicker and that is also a bit quicker than the 4s which does 4 seconds so handling wise you can definitely feel that the gts oh they have taken a look at this car and said okay we need it to be a little bit more direct still a little bit more feedback and they've done an exceptional job exceptional i should say sound they actually made the sound louder as well for the gts to give you a little bit more of a you know a driving experience but it is not close to the explosive power delivery that you get in a turbo s and that shift still gets me every time that is really cool but that explosiveness of the turbo s is is just reserved for that car and i mean with 760 horsepower of course it's going to be more explosive than this this is actually the best-selling porsche in the netherlands surprise surprise all right full throttle there we go and the thing with this car is when you drive on a b road it really invites you to have some fun and to extract the power from it you know explore the limits of grip but once you get on the highways or the ultraman it sort of ceases to do that you just enjoy the comfort of the car and you just entertain other people sometimes when when they look at you and you just floor it and they're like oh that's cool but the explosiveness is pretty much gold at these speeds anyway so of course we also measured the 100 to 200 kilometers an hour performance now the fastest way to do that is using launch control of course because that is the only way you have that full 598 horsepower the full power is only available with launch control that overboost and i just did a 8.07 100 to 200 which is fairly quick porsche says it will do 8.3 so that is super impressive so this is the top speed 258 on the speedo let me check if i go to normal mode how that affects the power delivery so in sport plus it's definitely more aggressive oh yeah that is a big difference and now the suspension is oh amazing it's like a magic carpet it is so so soft so floaty it filters out everything and then when you put it in sport plus and you turn into a corner you're like i'm in the gt3 it's amazing truly amazing but again is that enough to lure people away from the 4s and get them to spend that much more money on a gts you definitely feel that this car has a bit more of an edge the suspension the damping the the springs it's a bit more firm which is great you know if you are attacking a b road or a mountain pass or whatever you're doing like you're an off ramp the cornering speeds are insane you can really hustle this car down the road i mean it is truly amazing it is man it has to be a sight to behold to see this car doing like a hill climb or something like that getting out of shape a little bit amazing this is an amazing car if i had to buy an electric car it would be this probably but i mean that eqs has a big range as well so that is also pretty impressive but i just love the way this car drives so the gts it definitely offers some value over the 4s being the most sporty one it looks very very cool as well and it sounds a little bit better even i i can really hear that so that's it for this review i'm going to end it here guys hope you enjoyed it you can subscribe by clicking the big button in the middle you can also check out this video on the
