So now what is considered a family car, will be quicker than Porsches own 918 Spyder Hypercar.

The headline power figures are just ridiculous.

Yeah, absolutely ludicrous, don’t think I will be picking up the grandkids in this !

0 - 62 in 2.4s eh ? When there's 10 of you queueing for a charger, that sort of acceleration might just give you an edge

Well, with 393 mile range, not sure I'd need to stop to charge. Even if it ends up being 300 mile real world, covers 99% of my driving profile

I remember when 0-60 in 5 or 6 seconds was supercar performance - Ferrari Testarossa or 911 Turbo kind of figures. Then there was the Ferrari F40 no-compromise, stripped-out racer which did 4.2s (you know, like a two tonne Macan GTS off-road family car does!). I also remember when the Bugatti Veyron came out and 2.6s was considered absurdly fast (which it surely is). Was that really so long ago?

Sadly with the congested roads these days you can only bury the throttle for a second or two and that’s your lot. I almost never reach the red line. I’m not sure acceleration figures mean as much any more. It’s more about 50-70mph times at low-mid revs that define the driving experience, since that’s what we’re mostly doing.

Here comes the next one

I wonder what the thoughts will be of GT3 & GT4 owners when they get passed by a “family” saloon?

They will follow the Taycan to the next recharging point and bring a picnic and a stopwatch.
