Is It Time To Buy a "Cheap" Porsche Taycan Turbo S?! (750 HP)
Roads Untraveled
Expert Pick #01
Porsche Taycan Turbo S.
750 hp, 2.4s 0-60, and handling that redefines what an electric vehicle can do on a circuit.
The Verdict.
9.6/ 10
Gavler Meta-Score
“The Taycan Turbo S ended the debate about whether EVs can be driver's cars. It handles, brakes, and communicates with the precision Porsche has spent 75 years perfecting. At $187,600 it's not cheap, but nothing else in the EV market delivers this combination of repeatable performance and chassis involvement — and it's cheaper than any combustion Porsche that performs this well.”
The Gavler Verdict
Precision Engineering
800V Architecture
Industry-leading 800-volt electrical system enables 320kW DC fast charging (10-80% in 18 minutes) and consistent performance with zero degradation across repeated launches.
Two-Speed Transmission
Porsche's unique two-speed rear transmission provides explosive first-gear acceleration and efficient high-speed cruising — no other EV has this.
Porsche Chassis Tuning
Adaptive air suspension, rear-axle steering, and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus deliver handling precision that defies the car's 5,100 lb weight.

Global Critique
“Still the EV benchmark.”
Car Magazine
“The suspension system doesn't just counteract body roll — it erases it entirely and actually leans the car into a corner.”
Top Gear
“The first production car to hit 60 mph in under 2 seconds.”
Car and Driver
“Bump up to the Turbo trims, and you're treated to brutally quick acceleration.”
