The Porsche Taycan 4S - Surprisingly good

The Taycan 4s used to sit nicely in the middle of the Taycan range, that is until the GTS came about. But is the Taycan 4s the one to go for? I was given several opportunities to drive the 4S and it was the first time that I found myself in the driver’s seat that I was most surprised.

Let’s go through the numbers: The Tayan 4s starts at £84,030, that’s over £11,000 more than the entry-level Taycan. When comparing the 4S with the GTS it boasts a saving of around £20,000, you can add another £12,680 to pick up the Taycan Turbo, and the range-topping Turbo S starts at just under £140,000. That’s a huge £55,250 more than the 4S. So, it seems the Taycan 4S represents a bargain when it comes to a compromise between value and performance. The Taycan 4S Cross Turismo starts at £88,270.

So, what does £84,030 get you? You get a 204 PS power electric motor, and a maximum power of 435 PS with the performance battery. The overboost maximum power with launch control adds up to 530 PS. Equip the Taycan 4s with the performance battery plus, a £4,613 added extra, and the overboost maximum power extends to 571 PS, around 563 bhp. 0-60 mph is dealt with in 3.8 seconds, and a top speed of 155 mph is possible. Depending on which battery you choose the claimed range sits somewhere between 200 – 330 miles on a full charge.
