I went for a test drive of the Tycan Turbo today .
Generally I was very impressed by it . For a mid sized sedan it is incredibly agile, fast , well build and with a stunning look .
Showed it to my wife who instantly fell in love with it . She road as passenger and wanted to puke after 300 m Not a nice think to do to her on our 19th marriage anniversary
My two elder sons , nearly 16 and 18 , loved is as much . Not many cars did that effect to them . One of my son sat behind me . He is 1.92cm and I am 1.87 cm . So my seat was pretty much back . He said he was confortable enough to drive for a few hours . Just had to have the legs at an outside angle . But the seats go way back in the boot , so the rest of the body was pretty confortable .
Acceleration is like a rocket . I won't comment much about all that as it all has been said . It felt as fast as the Tesla X 100D I drove a few times But quality of the inside, style and general build if way above .
I was very surprised how the car handles fro such a heavy car . But ... physics are stil there . In a roundabout I took a bit fast, suddenly the car had to correct as the weight + strong torque , pulled the car outside . The car feels not heavy but heavy at the same time It is all due to the weight being at floor level . It can mislead . If one day batteries loose half their weight , this car will be a GT3 killer
One thing was annoying , was tire noise on rough tarmac . When smooth it is so silent , but when on graveled tarmac , then the noise is too present . Don' t know if it is because of the wheel size , tire pressure ( very high ) , or lack of insulation around the wheel arches .
Would I get it ? Probably not , not yet at least . I am not ready to live without gear changes .
But I could see it becoming a car for my wife one day .......
