^^ that’s how you pronounce Taycan, not what the model names are.

Anyway, nobody seriously pronounces Porsche model names correctly anyway. I even heard a German say “nine eleven” once. :-)

Haha. And people who buy the cheap one will probably call theirs the Taycan 3.6 Turbo, because tenuously it might be :-)

I agree WingCo but then I couldn’t believe they still used “Turbo” for a model on the Macan either, given they’re all turbocharged.

And purchasers of the ‘cheap’ one will be mocked & ridiculed for not buying at least the 4S model, because obviously the ‘cheap’ Taycan is not a proper Porsche and you’re clearly only buying it for the badge! :roll:

Maybe its computer is one of those 1990s PC models with a “turbo” button on the front? Hahaha
