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 is the car that ended the debate about whether EVs can be driver's cars. It doesn't just accelerate fast — it handles, brakes, and communicates with the precision Porsche has spent 75 years perfecting. The two-speed transmission is an engineering marvel that provides both explosive acceleration and refined highway cruising. At $187,600, it's not cheap, but it's cheaper than any combustion Porsche that performs this well.”
