The Porsche Taycan Turbo S may be all-electric but that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun. In fact, this video proves the sedan can be hugely thrilling to drive.



The footage starts out with a couple of short clips of the driver kicking out the vehicle’s tail while accelerating out of corners – not something you’d expect to see from an electric car with all-wheel drive and mountains of grip. Next, we get to see just how quick this thing is in a straight line.

The Automann-TV channel on YouTube tested the car on the German Autobahn and were able to see what it has up its sleeves. In the first run, the Porsche accelerates to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a mere 2.8 seconds and continues to build up speed with frightening pace, hitting 250 km/h (155 mph) in just 17.8 seconds.

Mind you, it’s not just the Taycan Turbo S‘ power off the line that boggles the mind. When driving at 100 km/h (62 mph) on the Autobahn, it takes just 6.9 seconds to get up to 200 km/h (124 mph) after flooring the throttle. That’s more than enough pace to snap your head back and push you firmly against the seat.

Making the Porsche Taycan Turbo S so accelerative are the two electric motors that combine to produce 750 HP and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque when Overboost is enabled. Assisting the car’s straight-line abilities is the fact that it has a two-speed transmission meaning it continues to pull strongly up to its top speed rather than starting to wane as speeds increase like some other EVs.
