The result is this: one hip, fashionable, and above all, an unbeatable value-for-money soft-roader. Watch out, sub-compact sedans, this one’s going after your lunch money.

Petrol Heads Do Dream of Electric Cars: Driving the 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S


A few hours after I launch-controlled the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, I swear my head still hurt. The acceleration is, frankly, violent and unrelenting. The last time I felt my innards get re-arranged like this, I was strapped in a Le Mans race car. Yet, the Taycan isn’t a big-engined, high-downforce supercar. It is, in fact, quite the opposite. It’s a four-door, four-seater fastback that doesn’t emit much noise. It doesn’t even sport an engine, at least in the traditional sense. What it is, is environmentally-friendly motoring done the high-performance Porsche way.

A few hours aren’t enough to take in the majesty of BMW’s flagship SUVs, or in their parlance, Sport Activity Vehicles—the X5 and the X7.
