That charging analogy was “clarkson level” dumbfuckery and i freaking love it.
That’s the first thought that came to my mind too!
Love that expression.
Fast charging destroys the battery faster too which is perfectly illustrated here. 3:20
@@RealNameNeverUsed If they have managed it properly, the adverse effect will be greatly lessened.
@@RealNameNeverUsed that's why it has a battery charging control unit for battery protection
A review of the Taycan without ever saying, "Tesla" once... Good job, Harris!!!
Why? It's the de facto market player. It's like reviewing a C-class and not mentioning the 3-series once.
@@ZesPak Is a Camaro ZL1 ILE and A 911 GT3 in the same market (they perform about the same)? No, they are not. Mainly price, but many other reasons also.
@@ZesPak Tesla is the electric halo car but it's not a competitor for the Taycan. Someone in the market for the Taycan is not considering a model s as an alternative. In this electric sports sedan, Porsche is alone at the moment
@@nelsonmarques1334 Someone in the market for a Taycan will be considering a Tesla when they realize there is no where to charge that thing, doesn't have autopilot, has laggy speedometer, and costs 50k more for the same performance.
@@ZesPak That's because the C class and the 3 series are actually similar. The Taycan and the Model S are not.
"If that's not fast enough for you, go take up basejumping" Gravitational pull: 9.81m/s^2, acceleration over 2.5 in this Porsche: over 11m/s^2. It's literally faster than basejumping, even without taking into account drag.
Not Fast .... Quick, top speed is fast, acceleration is quick ....
Pfft, you didn't take into account drag? And you call yourself a nerd?
@@chrisbraid2907 Terminal velocity is 120 mph. Top speed in the Turbo S is 162 mph. Taycan is both faster and quicker than base jumping.
Well glad to know my immediate "I bet it's quicker than basejumping" reaction holds up.
@@ConnorwithanO Terminal velocity unstreamlined is 120 mph but you can freefall faster , I used to . this is how someone in a dive can catch up to someone spread falling. I reckon I could beat a freecall Taycan....
This is so beautifully shot, edited and graded! Absolutely love the atmosphere and vibe here. Throw Chris, his presentation and soothing voice on top, it’s a mega win! More of this please!!
Very high production values indeed!
Top Gear productions have always been top notch. The BBC ones are even better!
Prettier than a beer commercial.
Please give Chris Harris his own hour long show.
Yeah, we don't need those 2 clowns who barely know how to drive a car
I don't even know the names of the other two guys.
We Need the old legendes back
Him and Guy Martin. I could watch an entire episode then instead skipping the idiots.
Agreed He’s the Man! I’m surprised he doesn’t have his Own Show??
Who ever recruited Chris Harris for top gear has hit paydirt.
Showered a praise or?
He's pretty much the only reason they are still afloat.
I liked Chris Harris Before
I loved the man after that 2017 Viper ACR Drive though, thats when i knew "yeah, this is the guy"
What's paydirt?
@@m.i.5381 An example is hitting mineral rich soil when mining.
"It feels like a Porsche, the driving position is low, the seat is just pinching my kidneys" Amazing. Chris Harris is the best.
It's as if he's all 3 into one: Clarkson wit without the shill and corrosiveness, Hammond's enthusiasm but an adult rather than child mind, level-headed May without the bore.
I’m not happy about Clarkson, Hammond and May leaving Top Gear but I love that we got Chris Harris now. He’s really good.
Couldn't stand the guy at first, but for some reason now I think he's a ledge..
They didn't leave, Clarkson was fired for racist comments and assault when he was already on a final warning for his insulting and horrible behaviour of staff at the BBC!
Chris was my favourite way before he joined TG.
@@colors6692 the bbc 😁 the pillar of journalism.
grand tour is good
The drizzle and cloudy weather of UK is adding more sexiness to Taycan.
You mean the typical UK weather?
Nvm your comment implies regular weather. I read it wrong originally
a chance because it needs A LOT
Ngl I like the sun more just wish texas had a lil more rain like here
@@F82Eric I hate the old self promotion disguised as praise comment. Seen it a thousand times.
I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS not everything is promotional 👍🏽. Has nothing to do with that but I see your point
“The seats are pinching my kidneys”
You wouldnt have a kidney if you have that car
Tell that to Bill Gates
Or an arm and a leg haha
Hah, nice joke )
"The biggest-ticket organ you can legally sell in the U.S. is your heart: They're going for a cool $1 million. Livers come in second, worth about $557,000 and kidneys fetch about $262,000 each. Widespread diabetes and heart disease is what have made these particular organs so expensive."
One kidney is enough actually! wow, now I am tempted.
Chris has captured the real essence of Top Gear presenter. Closest person to the level of Clarkson, Hammond, and May.
Why did you need to drag him down like that
Not even close
@@ilcomendante He will never be on the trios level. Don't deceive yourself.
@@tomhigginson6855 , he is quite good on his own not to be compared to others.
@@mrbasfed1948 he is good as a car journalist but Clarkson invented the comedic and exciting show about cars. Jeremy made that show from the ground up you can't imitate that.
I love seeing Chris get all excited 😂 It always makes me smile
“Its a Porsche, it isn’t slow , it isn’t cheap” 924 has left the chat
Haha
micro christ 🤣🤣🤣
Good : it was almost a VW 😁
@@microchrist6122 It was supposed to be a vw; it was designed by Porsche to be built by vw but vw decided they wanted to work on the scirocco or golf (I dont remember which) instead, so Porsche built it, which is why it still had vw/audi parts. The later 924s however was basically a 944 in a 924 body, which I think is a great combination. The 914 was also sort of a volkswagen.
Leon King would love to get a 924s or 944 NA one of these days
Imagine if there was a track focused version of this
Taycan GT2 RS?
I doubt it would be any good for track use, Its too heavy and big. If they made a 2 door version of it or even the new 918 replacement due in a few years, it could work.
@@Ssh52 We shall see, Porsche's engineers could probably come up with something to make it work.
Be sure in the future you will
If anyones likely to make an EV track car its Porsche
When the likes of Richard Hammond and Chris Harris say that an electric car truly excites them, then perhaps it is time to embrace the future. The Taycan is the car of the year indeed!
Electric cars will never be better when we talking about to enjoy the experience because the sound of the engine make the experience..... To me electric cars are like a movie without music.....
Japlonik said they could be fun but drive all the same way.
Boring then
@@lecoureurdesbois86 How many cars have you driven?
@@GETTERoriginal It's all a matter of states of mind. To those of us who grew up with petrol performance cars, sound = performance. I don't hate petrol cars. I am a petrolhead and have been since age 12 (I am 25 now). I love loud cars with big engines but I was intrigued by electric technology after having a go in a Tesla Model S, and after seeing the mission e concept at the Frankfurt auto show, those 4 years felt like an eternity. I love the insane torque as well as the thought that when I press the pedal the car just flies effortlessly, instead of belching and grunting with inefficiency. I know this is a radically different idea and approach to performance cars, and no doubt it will take some time before manufacturers figure out what the soul of an electric car is. The soul of an ICE sports car is hard to beat but we are getting there. At least that's what I think.
@@tbn22 If I say "more than most people" I'm going to look like the ones who brag anyway, but yes quite a few, since I've worked for some dealers
Instant torque is fun, but that's all that there is to it

This is the result when a car company makes an EV versus a software engineer.
Your argument could go either way, but as the horse and car, the tesla is the car. Horses are fine still.

This actually makes me feel excited by an electric car. I had never thought I will think that before. Good job Porsche.
This also makes love topgear, again. I had never thought I will say that after the trio left. Good job Chris Harris.
Wills Chiu Chris is 10 times better then those 3 stooges!
I like Harris more.
jon doe Seeing how that’s your opinion not a fact...... you are wrong he is WAYYYY better than all three!
jon doe I only state facts so I guess yours is false. # I win! 😂
You can get a 240v outlet installed at home and charge in a couple of hours instead of a day using a standard household socket. Most EV owners get the higher power socket installed.
Absolutely love when Chris talks about charging the Taycan. So good.
Chris Harris and the Electric Skids would be a great band name.
“ Electric car technology is miles ahead of infrastructure” 👍🏻
Peter Pan it is true the infrastructure isn’t cheap. That’s why we need a sustainable infrastructure that is worth it in long term.
Its tricky, the car techology is evolving rapidly, making deciding on what the charging infrastructure needs to be a rapidly moving target. Not good for making decisions on expensive long term infrastructure. As Peter Pan says, it will catch up, but may take a while
@jon doe yes it is. Electric cars would be everywhere by now if it wasn't.
Specially 800 volt charging stations. There are only handful of them around the world.
Lil kush your opinion is trash 🗑 electric is the future. Did you even watch the video?
Chris is the best. Singlehandedly resurrected Top Gear.
Abacus Fitness and Money top gear was never resurrected. The day clarkson got fired was the day top gear died
beetleframe70 you’re right. This new show is like the nephew of top gear.
Rory is also OK ..
Absolutely not you've clearly never watched the og top gear if you think that Chris is even a fraction as knowledgeable, funny, or enjoyable to watch compared to Clarkson Hammond or May. This show is now an embarrassment to watch and the BBC made the worst decision of their entire career by letting Clarkson go. Long live the Grand Tour!
@jon doe you clearly dont know about chris evans then
I drove this car ......it is mighty epic. I drove this thing up a hill and it is so fast it felt like I was going downhill.....no struggling whatsoever.
"It feels like a Porsche, the driving position is low, the seat is just pinching my kidneys" Amazing. Chris Harris is the best.
Can Chris Harris just be alone in Top gear? Coz this guy is on top of his game. I have always loved his reviews
Chris Harris, driving every dream car and shooting fire hoses. Every kid's dream.
I've never dreamed of fire hoses.... xD Rockets are lit tho
Aren't kids doing that. Gaming with their fav cars and then shooting their hoses ?
God i love German engineering, 20 minutes charging time.

@@WardenClyffthat's what Taycan has for snacks
7S POWER
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Simply wrong. If it wasn’t for the model 3 there would never be a Taycan. Simply be another combustion porsche. Let’s also take a look at what the model 3 and the model y are capable of on a track and on road.
That was a good one!
"we just did a smoker!"
"We just did a Smoker in a Porsche!"*woooosh*
Used to love winter testing the Taycan, I quite literally said the same thing, such a heavy car yet so nimble.
Voltage is NOT power. Power is Current x Voltage. Current is like water flow and voltage water pressure.
In fact, charging at 400V 200A is exactly the same power as charging at 800V 100A...
Yes, BUT 200A damage the Battery more. So it's way better to go for 800V 100A.
Higher charging voltage, lower current, fewer losses during charging, less prone to overheating issues, smaller cross-sectional wire
Nonetheless: Doubling voltage halves current and cuts losses (=heat that need to be cooled/dissipated) to 1/4.
Yes, the main advantage of the higher voltage architecture is that you need smaller conductors for the same power, both out the batteries into the motor, and from the charger to the batteries. This is the same reason that the new V3 Tesla superchargers have liquid cooling in the cable. They are on a lower voltage, so to keep the cable thickness manageable and lighter, they have to counter the added resistive heating of that power at lower voltage.
You do the math, thinner wires, less over heating, better battery life due to lower losses. Repeated runs.
Watts = amp(i) × volts(v)
Volts = amp(i) × resistance(r,ohm)
Top gear should now just be called "Chris Harris drives". I loved his solo stuff, and I hope he's getting paid twice his worth being on this show. Top gear would be nothing without him. Kudos, Chris!
I have seen some of them in real life, and I have got to say..! It looks amazing!! I would prefer the Panamera, but it’s lovely anyway!! And I adore that they were able to design it so so closely to the concept! And that one was incredible!!
3:19 When you hug her after a long time

Anyone who’s comparing this to a Tesla would have to drive it ...we all know that the first time you drive a Porsche your life is changed forever
Totally true. My first Porsche i drove was a 997 Carrera S, mindblowing. Best cars on the planet.
@Stefan you like the bmw m2 more than a 997 turbo s? Interesting. Guess the taste of people ist very wide spread
@@kommentierenderkommentator2572 That's BMW fans in a nutshell...
Anyone comparing them is just wasting their time. The porsche is probably twice the price if not more depending on options and gets 2/3s the range. In return for that, it's faster, much more premium, and a Porsche. You can make an argument for either one depending on what you're looking for.
You are right, after I got my Cayenne I do not want to drive any other car, my second car would be a Porsche too, drove Taycan Turbo early march , it is my taste. Tesla is a four wheels with a battery.
To be fair, "Turbo" has already been used as shorthand for "AWESOME" ever since the 80s... =)
It was used for 'cheap' products.
@@evognayr/videos That too. =)
Turbo is an adjective for Porsche that means Superfast

the shooting and editing of this video is INSANE
Well everytime I watch this I get those goosebumps ! Like him or not, Chris delivered a hell of a review to match the spectacular German engineering. No car reviewer out there will ever match this!

then I would sing along to it.
I thought I wanted a 911, now I want a Taycan
Aight this turbo thing is driving me crazy: Turbo is latin and means fast, its used the same way in German. If you wanna talk about a Turbo Charger you specifically say Turbo charger (Turbolader) in German. So since Porsche is a German company its fair for them to use Turbo that way.
Turbo comes from the latin word turbo - vortex, turbulence. So no, it doesn't.

German engineering perfection. That's why Germany makes the greatest cars
And the most unreliable ones...
@@Wraedeohed Source? You do know most indices include average repair costs as a factor in calculating reliability and German cars are not only expensive, they're expensive to fix as well, thus resulting in a worse score. They're pretty reliable. My 9 year old VW Polo never had anything break down except for your typical wearing parts.
@@Wraedeohed ahh man, if that's the only thing you can come up with, I'm sorry.
@@azeQify it's easy when it's the truth. It doesn't take much research to find these facts.
I'm an engineer for design solutions firm, have worked on cars most of my life, have owned no less than three German cars. All of which had service bulletins through and through.
I'm the biggest Porsche fan and having oranges and older 914 can attest to the draw of their design and relative reliability amongst other sports cars.
But...

Thumbs up for a Chris Harris solo show 👍
I was just waiting to hear the word TESLA whole time, gladly I never did 🤘
The reason for that is, the BBC and top gear specifically, don't mention Tesla because Elon is a little bitch and threatens to sue if someone states a Tesla has problems.
Tesla is a long-forgotten name once the Taycan is driven
Tesla is good but until they start making a purpose-built sports cars, I don't think their cars warrant a comparison. Teslas are blisteringly fast off the line, but ultimately the Model S is a family saloon that's designed for range, efficiency and comfort. It ain't a track car and it won't perform like one.
@@0hypnotoad0 Yeah. I don't understand why people are shitting on it in the comments when it isn't meant to do that workload.

I went on a Porsche day out today and have never driven an electric car. We were given a Tycan Turbo and my god, what a car! Not sure how Harris did those repeat launches, one was enough for me!
Now 9 months later - wanna go again?!
The Taycan actually has a gearbox. A two speed one.
Man wow, the cinematography in this video is just amazing
Drivetrain aside, I hated four door porches until I saw this thing. They did such a great job with the bodywork.
Taycan Turbo S: *exists
Chris Harris: *"you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention"*
"NO TURBO just s for sport"
Oh ok😂
Then we can go S+ and S Pro too. 😂
Well is more of a marketing thing. Porsche entire line of cars have something of a naming scheme when it comes to the term "Turbo". You want the top performing car out of the company, it's going to have "Turbo" badge to the name. You the very best they have to offer, "Turbo S".
It's just that if you are thinking Turbo charger, then it's really, really redundant with the Taycan. Porsche isn't, and they treat the Taycan no differently than the rest of it's lineup.
we germans use 'turbo' as an urban slang replacement for the word 'fast'.
Heiko Rudi
We do it in the states too. When running a machine at work I’ll ask “where’s the turbo on this thing?” meaning turn the speed up. Obviously knowing there is no turbocharge on a conveyor belt etc.

Very nice and well made video from the crew and Chris! One point I‘m very interested in is the transmission. It has two gears if I‘m not mistaken. How well/smooth is it shifting and at which speed?
This is far most sensible, good quality and very well shot n well presented car review i've seen!
My bank account does not justify me to give an opinion, so on to the next gas station for me.
Tesla we make the best electric cars.
Porsche - "hold my beer"
They don't make sport cars ...yet , when roadster is out , they do
The only sports car tesla makes is the roadster and the roadster makes the Taycan look like a horse with a broken leg.
People seem to forget that the Model S is a 5 seater with a boot big enough for 2 st bernards...it's not a sports car. Despite this, the biggest car company in teh world can only just barely match it in acceleration. Funny that. The only time the Porsche wins the race is above 120 mph....in other words where it doesnt matter. That in itself is only a result of the 2 gear transmission.
@@sakimano When Porsche makes an electric coupe supercar, it will destroy anything Tesla makes. Let me know when Tesla fixes their paint issues, panel gap issues and cheap $30K budget car interiors too. Tesla is the iPhone of electric cars. It's appeal is mostly to tech-savvy people not car enthusiasts. That's why Porsche will maintain internal combustion engines in the 911 for as long as possible since car enthusiasts care about the driving experience not just performance.

They don’t degrade mechanically like ICE cars so I don’t think electric cars will depreciate much at all
Don't count on it any day soon. The EV demand is a lot higher than the supply.
Rather not if they lose hp and range over time and usage the way EV’s generally do. Hopefully they don’t but I imagine owners being abusive to them. ICE doesn’t have that problem. That said, this car is the first EV that I’ve ever liked for all out performance. Finally, someone does EV’s right. It had to be Porsche.
@@jz5937 agree
To think we came from the G wiz to this.
NO G wiz was worse than much older GM EV1, that was a hack job. EV1 was surprisingly quick at only 1319kg and kicks out 137hp & 110lb/ft. It had soo many awesome harsh truths about electric cars, got to keep it a secret.
Actually we came from more than 120 years ago to this. Electric cars are as old as petrol cars...
@@HeavenlyWarrior Yep but the BMS Actively Managed & Liquid Cooled, Large Format Cell Array was only pioneered in the early 2000s. It's like we're at the ECU & Fuel Injection stage of ICE. Modern BEVs that are massively powerful is very new.
@@Neojhun I chose the g wiz because it ruined the perspective of EVs as slow heavy shit boxes, also a lot more people had seen the G wiz than the ev 1.
@@HeavenlyWarrior Yes but it wasn't quite a mass produced consumer model.
Best charging analogy ever!!!
The track launch from the episode trailer led us to believe that was his first time experiencing the car; and with this he’s already casually driving the car. The power of editing :/
The production level of this video is out of this world! Absolutely a fantastic job! The Porsche is beautiful and I can’t wait to get my hands on one!
How is it going?
just makes me wonder what does a 2,4t car do to the tires when driving like Chris did in the last few minutes of the film... I'm willing to take a punt it eats them like nobody's business :o)
Probably eats its feet like all the big AMG’s
Had the same thought when he mentioned how heavy it is!
@Viktor Sligo Ikr
Tomas: That’s one serious problem I have with the way Chris approaches his test drives - the fad de jour of drifting, and shredding tires in the process, is just pure idiocy in my book ...
Viktor Sligo - it should be a huge issue to the license payers ...
I drove this yesterday and it’s simply astonishing how comfortable a
Of a drive it is and the raw power at your toes when you hit the gas it GOES it slammed me into the seat and was gone love love love this car
The most beautiful front panel I have ever seen. It isn't just a simple tablet PC above the steering wheel. The car is perfect in every way.
The fire hose analogy. That’s the cup half obliterated.
Chris Harris is the best automotive journalist out there right now. Highly entertaining.
Now that was the best charging demonstration ever!
Even Porsche failed to do a such cinematic video to it 🔥❤️ love it
