2021 Porsche Taycan 4S

Taycan 4S is the mid-range offering in Porsche’s electric sedan line-up, delivery strong performance and range with a lower price tag. Whilst the Taycan launched with the top performance spec Turbo and Turbo S guises, the 4S represents a slightly de-tuned version, but manages to still be fast and exciting.

The powertrain layout is the same as the Turbo models with an electric motor located in each axle for all-wheel-drive, only in the 4S, those motors are a little smaller and less powerful. The combined power output comes in at 435 hp with 479 lb-ft of torque, with the ability to overboost to 522 hp or 563 hp if the optional Performance Battery Plus is fitted.

The smaller motors allow the Taycan 4S a greater range, which has risen from the Turbos 256 miles to 287 miles on the WLPT cycle. The downside is the acceleration performance has decreased with 0-62 mph down from 2.8 seconds to 4 seconds flat. That places the Taycan 4S as a fast enough car for most, especially on the road, but it will get left behind in the drag race videos everybody loves to put on youtube.
