Amazing what you can accomplish by adding a turbo to an EV. Beats the crap out of those naturally aspirated EVs. Maybe they can add another electric motor to act as a torque gap filler to mask the turbo lag...
Wait until they bolt a supercharger onto one. Zero lag and instant torque!! And the next step will be a version of fuel injection called... electric injection!
I legit forgot the Taycan was fully EV and clicked on this thinking it was a hybrid lol (and I know a lot more about cars than most people). From a marketing standpoint, I think it makes sense to call it a turbo. Most people have no idea what that means, they just think it means FAST. I've known people who get so excited when they see the word turbo attached to a vehicle's name, like they genuinely think their 2.0L turbocharged Mini Cooper is going to win them the Le Mans some day lol.
"Turbo" is a symbolic heritage name at Porsche, used for their highest performance flagship models. Just like Volkswagen, using "GTI" (grand tourer injection) for their high performance Golfs, which is clearly not a "grand tourer" car also all Golf engines are using fuel injection..
@@D0MIIN8T0R No, 'turbo' meant that the car had a turbocharger, but electric cars don't have turbochargers. They could have called the more powerful version of the car any number of different names, that they chose "Turbo" is just ridiculous.
Its electric so does not mean anything in the world of cars. Real cars have engines and can race all day long, these cannot. They are limited pieces of old electronic motor tech. Nothing new here, just a gimmick.
Love porsche but never want an electric sports car no fun have a turbo s super fast and love the down shifts and the handling electric feels dead that's just my opinion
I'm sure there's probably some antiquated reasons for its actual origins. But I think a big part of why it's still such a big deal is because in the states, 60 MPH is a nice round number that's fairly close to the speed limit on the highway. It's a number that anyone who's been in a car can wrap their head around. To me, it basically showcases "this is how long it takes to get my car from a complete standstill to a speed where I'm flowing with traffic." You don't wanna merging on the freeway in a car that takes 15 seconds to get up to speed.
The point is that: what is the utility to reach 60 mph in under 2 seconds.... Maybe 2 or 3 times before battery starts to downgrade, but have less top speed, less cornering, big weight, no sound (and so, no soul)?.... Before Bev cars, in Europe no-one considered 1/4 mile et time something important to evaluate a supercar; now it seems the most important performance requirement. Remember that when ICE engine reaches the right torque speed grow up same as Bev ( see koenigsegg Vs rinac). Only propaganda to show superiority of bev car, enhancing the only aspect where the can beat a ice car.
👉 Note: First to Accelerate to 60 MPH in under Two Seconds Tested by Car And Driver.
Car and Driver Lucid Sapphire did 0 to 60 mph: 2.1 sec

Porsche....best car manufacturer by far.
…may be for some of the legacy cars. But not for the 2.5 tons EV monsters…
@@schrimpfYou will see. Give it a little time. Overall performance though, there is no competition.
No engine!
No sound!
No emotion!
No desire...
here i am having my first car that goes 0-100kph in under 10 seconds (9.7 seconds) thinking it is quick
Turbo? That has to be one of the dumbest things that anyone ever could have labeled an EV.
You forgot BMW calls their 4 door car a grand coupe. When you have no shame, you have no limit I guess

@@PistonAvatarGuy "meant" exactly, just like I said with the GTI, now it has a different meaning. is it that hard to understand??
Noise isn't everything
What kind of bullshit was that opening! Rimac nevera already does 1.8
Yeah it's got 2 doors and 890 HP more and is 2 million euros my guy
Its not a production car
@@sidthiru1509try lucid air sapphire, 1.85 sec
1.77 with rollout
@@Heartfromsomewhere yes indeed and the Sapphire is my favourite sedan rn. But the Porsche definitely quicker on track
@chrisvogel4981 it is
Just listen to that turbo spool 🤤
It's called a turbo but there's no actual turbo lol
Still don't want one.
sure. Don't want = can't afford. Peace.
Don't buy it then, no one forcing you 😂
German Waste 😂
It doesn't want you either.😂
Nice. Ev xisters completely btfo'd
You think that 0-60 is fast?
Just watch this car's depreciation over a year.
The depreciation of this car is „turbo fast“…..😮

This over any Tesla
Not a ev fan any how
This costs 2.5 times the price of a track pack plaid.
It is much heavier than a Tesla. Sporty…?
Now give us that performance under $30k, that’ll be impressive
The Lucid Sapphire beat in all the head to head competitions.
At what point will idiots stop measuring 0 - 60 time?
Unless you drag race it’s meaningless for last 30 years once it was sub 5 sec
its funny how as soon as antiquated combustion powered vehicles got dropped by the EV hard...suddenly 0-60 isnt important anymore lol 😂
Love porsche but never want an electric sports car no fun have a turbo s super fast and love the down shifts and the handling electric feels dead that's just my opinion
Good to see Porsche not getting dropped in EV tech. The 911 is still pretty antiquated....its only a matter of time
Rimac Nevera 0-60 = 1.74 seconds
Give Porsche a little time. They will soon past that too. There is no equal to Porsche. Just challengers.
Why is 0-60 such a big deal anyway or near 200 MPH top speed?

Nobody buys this car. As a used car impossible to find a buyer.
This is not the kind of car people buy used because of the EV aspect. EVs are too costly to repair to them buy them used.
it can do that only for 1 year. then its gonna die in 4.
Wrong. Tesla Model S Plaid already did 1.9s and Lucid Air Sappphire did 1.8s. Rimac Nevera also did 1.8s.
It's cool and all, but I'll pass.
err RIMAC anyone !!!
Never understood why an electric car should be badged "Turbo".... 😳
For the same reason vacuums have Turbo in the name
Porsche still dont get it NO ONE cares about sport eletric cars who buy a Posche dont want a Dildo.
Not neccessary and not affordable for the normal worker. So it´s worthless on normal Roads or Highways.
Lucid Air Sapphire has done 1.7 🤷🏾 This is still a nice car though.
proof plz?
Overpriced
Slow car.
Oh wow its as fast as plaid now to 60
but slower to 200mph
@@yusufcanaktas6929 also $100k more expensive
Hahahaha. Go drive both. Plaid is not even in the same galaxy.
@@cryptoskillz more than that
@@cryptoskillzAlso drives way better than Tesla can even imagine even with reverse engineering.
Lucid Sapphire 0-60 1.89 seconds with top speed of 205 mph. 0-100 3.84
But sloooww corner speed. American car typical
@@SayaGakBilangGiniLucid isn't American...😅
@@Sidewinder5 ooo USA car
@Sidewinder5 Uhhh...yeah. It is. 🙄
@@SayaGakBilangGini America is living rent free in your head.
Tesla has better value
How? Remember Porsche has the absolute best driving dynamics. Tesla can't even dream of comparing.
Maybe fastest massive produced, Rimac Nevera and McMurthy Speirling are much faster
so this is with a rollout, not a true 0-60.
Model S Plaid has been doing this for a few years
Plaid has never done 1.9s. only in American math they did, where they remove the first .2s, which means 2.1s
Tesla Plaid is better
No, it's not
Tesla = ugly
Lol, no. The Porsche drives better and what do you use a car for?
Really? How?
Old plaid out stying
It’s been around for well over a decade..junk
