Re: Taycan has Torch Boy issues too
That's funny because I am coming around on the 4.8 V8 and have been eyeballing 2013+ Panamera S/4S/Turbos. (2013+ because of the head bolt thing.) The looks of the Panny leave much to be desired but the inside is a palace and to gnat's point, very much a Porsche in terms of feel and value.

I don't know for sure about the Pannys but I know the Cayennes that had head bolt problems there was a recall and it's supposed to be easy to confirm if it has the new bolts or not. So you might just need to check on that for the Panny and that might open up possible models for you.Dr_Strangelove (whew!) wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 10:40 am That's funny because I am coming around on the 4.8 V8 and have been eyeballing 2013+ Panamera S/4S/Turbos.

Re: Taycan has Torch Boy issues too
Yeah I've been looking into this issue and it's easy to inspect with a dental mirror or in my case a borescope since I have one. I think it's fatigue talking right now but I've just been in the mood to buy something semi-sorted for once in my life

Should've been called "Toucan" instead of Taycan cause you gotta be Fruit Loopin' to fall for the Turbo part.Dr_Strangelove (whew!) wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 12:51 pm $97,803 when it's all said and done. Well played Porsche of Tyson's Corner, well played indeed.

Re: Taycan has Torch Boy issues too
Watching this video of a Tesla chasing a Taycan...the lack of engine sounds is rather creepy.
