I am going to spec a Taycan Turbo S tomorrow. Shame that the new colour samples are not going to be available most probably.Ice.

Get the Porsche white with the white wheels and black spokes. That shows off the car styling and does distinguish it from all other EV’s. Porsche introduced the car to the car world in that color combination.

These rims with spokes do also look excellent in black/black. They also go extremely well with a black car. Saw one in my neighbourhood recently (black/black/black). Looked excellent although I am not a fan of all-black in general Smiley

There's a black/black and deep tint windows with those wheels two houses down from me. It looks like a shapeless blob and, with the white wheel bits the only color, the wheels look like cheap plastic aftermarket bits. To each his own though.

@waiting for PDK. - I agree the wheels looked great on the concept but look awful on the actual car

@nberry - "too cute" heh - well at the moment I am black with black, crayon stitching , and carbon fan wheels - boring by my standards! Hard to plump for cherry or iced grey unseen.

Re: Welcome to the new Taycan Forum!

Enmanuel:
Would be interesting to hear of the buying experience is any different that with other Porsche products. I assume not, but when a company goes electric they really try hard to deliver that message.

Full charging capacity on 2021 Taycan Turbo S still not available in the UK on incoming vehicles - ridiculous given the price of the car.

Re: Welcome to the new Taycan Forum!

As it is, the Taycan on the road doesn’t get much attention. It’s road presence is almost none existent. An all black exterior will almost make it disappear. Considering the price of the car, I suggest a wake up color. kiss

Re: Welcome to the new Taycan Forum!

I saw a carmine red Taycan with black wheels. Looks very good, sporty. Especially my wife who only likes black cars when they are bigger than a hothach is thrilled.I have the permission to exchange my BMW 8 for a red Taycan

A sedan should not be loud or garish. It should be elegantly attired with a hint of look at me. A darker shade of green would suit the Taycan just fine. Smiley

Re: Welcome to the new Taycan Forum!

I saw a dark blue one, and a Volcano Grey recently and both looked very good to me. IMO the way the body is sculpted works well with muted colors.

Really? I think it’s the best looking sedan currently on the market. Futuristic, sporty but not over the top.
It’a just way over-priced.
