There is no pause as pregnant as the quiet before this storm. After twisting the mode dial into Sport Plus mode and standing on both pedals, the 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S displays a “Launch Control activated” message while seemingly nothing else happens – no wailing engine, no waiting for boost (despite the nomenclature), just the tentative hum of an electronically generated soundtrack as 774 pound-feet of torque are about to discharge through all four wheels.

Lift the brake pedal, and an ungodly wallop slams your cranium against the headrest as instant torque hurtles the 2.5-ton sedan ahead. Porsche claims 60 miles per hour arrives in 2.6 seconds for the Turbo S (or three seconds flat in the lesser Turbo model), but my seat of the pants isn’t buying it. As a top speed autobahn run later reveals, the boys in Zuffenhausen have a way of chronically understating their vehicles’ capabilities.
Following a protracted publicity push that included tech workshops, a ceremonial factory opening, taxi rides, a splashy introduction at Niagara Falls, and a nine-country media drive from Oslo to Stuttgart, the new Taycan has sent a series of shockwaves through enthusiast culture and sparked debates unlike any Porsche release in recent memory. It could be argued that, planned or unplanned, the first modern-era electrified car to hail from Zuffenhausen arrives at a near ideal moment in history.
Elon Musk’s EV efforts were remarkably pioneering, but the big picture timeline might have ultimately worked to Porsche’s advantage: The Tesla Model S, now seven years old and showing its age, has had ample time to convert skeptics from fuel-dependent creatures of habit to battery-believing evangelists. Tesla’s Supercharger network has linked North America (not to mention much of Europe and other parts of the world), bolstering confidence in long distance electron-fueled road trips. Dropping a Porsche badge on a hastily developed product could have theoretically stolen some sales from Tesla, but the damage to the carmaker’s driver-focused reputation would have been irreparable. The only way for Porsche to do the Taycan was to take their time and get it right.
