Porsche Taycan GTS Excels Vs. The Moose Test

At 76 km/h (47.2 mph) test - a tad short of the benchmark speed - the Taycan completed it like a child's play. After ramping it up to 78 km/h (48.5 mph), the EV showed a little understeer, but no cones were knocked over.

However, we started to see the EV hit cones when the entry speed was raised to 79 km/h (49.1 mph). At this speed, the weight transferred during cornering was too much for the vehicle to keep together. The lighter and low-slung Porsche sibling, the 718 Boxster,handled this speed like a champ, proving weight can pose safety risks on the road.

Regardless, the test driver thought the Taycan did well in its moose test. He also highlighted the rear axle steering that helped the vehicle produce better results.

Meanwhile, the Taycan GTS also shined during the slalom course of the testers. The driver left the Sport Plus driving mode activated, which adjusted the suspension in the firmest position. In turn, the body roll was said to be non-existent, while the stability control did not act as much.

The time clocked was 21.5 seconds, making the Porsche EV faster than the smaller and lighter Smart #1 Brabus (22.5 seconds) under the publication's tally board. It also ran faster than an electric sedan rival, theMercedes-Benz EQE350+ (23.7 seconds).
