Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo | Has Porsche saved the estate car? | 4K

- Porsche helped to kill the estate with the Cayenne way back at the start of the 21st century. But now, long before it electrifies the SUV, it's apparently trying to bring the estate back to life. Following the V8-powered Panamera Sport Turismo is the all-electric Taycan Sport Turismo with over 850Nm and the ability to hit 62mph in 3.7 seconds. It looks great and is very fast, but just why is Porsche making an electric estate car?

Time to ditch that SUV order...
It's a stunner! That's why.
Indeed.
I love the Porsche estates. Gorgeous-looking cars.
Estate anything are gorgeous !
I think it’s stunning however it’s so wide that everyday driving in the country is just too scary! I had one coming towards me the other day and after staring at how lovely it looked, I realised it was on my side of the road and the other side was scraping the hedge, I could see the whites of his eyes as we passed!
Rather than drawing copious analogies, could we draw some conclusions...? Personally the estate never died, RS made sure of that and Merc and BMW have made the greatest on the planet. The new M3 Estate will be a true giant amongst the last ICE cars.
Porsche does one thing better than almost any car company....making money!!!
They're not making money on EVs... Almost all auto makers are losing money on EVs
Had to switch off. Too much camera on you when it could have been pointing at the car.
I have a tuned RS6 C7 which I absolutely love (in the limited way that word may be used to describe one's positive sentiment towards dead materia such as an automobile...); it is insanely fast for a big estate, but of course it doesn't provide the same level of handling and driving pleasure as my second car (a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0, which I wholeheartedly enjoy just as much). If these two cars would have a baby together (metamorphically speaking of course :-), I'm sure that car would both look and perform exactly like the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo!
The GTS Taycan is a better drivers car than the C7 RS6. I’ve 4 years of driving the RS6 & 1 year of the GTS.
I’ve back to backed, both and it’s sad to say, for me the EV has the ICE. That EV & That ICE, both are top table estates, chalk & cheese personalities.
The Porsche is soulless, The Audi, like yours, it’s tuned , this one to 740bhp. It’s all pops bangs farts & whistles. Real character….
@@martingetliffe Thanks for the comment! I recently sold the RS6 and bought a Taycan GTS Sport Turismo instead, but I immediately felt that it actually replaced the Cayman GTS 4.0 more than it replaced the RS6 (as I had intended) - so I ended up instead selling the Cayman GTS and buying back the RS6 (which has now been in my possession for ten years, minus the 49 days it had just spent at the dealership; they put a big price tag on it and fortunately still had it when I inquired about it :-). Just like you write, the Taycan GTS is much more of a driver's car than the RS6, but the RS6 (to me) has all the personality that the Taycan lacks. The RS6 weighs 2.010 kg while the Taycan weighs 2.470 kg, yet the latter feels twice as nimble in the curves (mainly due to the lower center of gravity and better longitudinal weight distribution), while the former (tuned) feels twice as fast on the straights. There is however now a tune available from HGP that gives the Taycan GTS >800 PS / 1.050 NM...
I own a 911 and a Cayenne. I like both. Never, never, never i will spend my money for a Taycan Sport Tourismo. Never.
I own a 911, Cayenne and 718. Along with 7 other cars. And all I can say is. Go drive it. It is unbelievable.
Currently everything Porsche touches becomes a success. Lead follow or get out of the way.
... proving, Chinese have no taste ?! 😉
@@DrOtto-sx7cp I have no clue what China has to do with Porsche.
@@trance9158 ... main customer !?
@@DrOtto-sx7cp America is second and with a 25% increase over the previous years sales. I bet the USA takes over 1st this next year. So your comment is moot.
@@trance9158 Let's hope so !
i understand what he means with the back of the Taycan. when i look in person carefully. the back do look like it’s missing something
This Turismo is just purely amazing design engineering. BUT, for me, it’s an Audi wagon that I’d pick. It’s cheaper too. But if money wasn’t an object, Taycan Turismo hands down wins.
This is beautiful. 3:29 - no, it definitely isn't.
I can't get on board with anyone pretending estates look better than sport saloons. It's madness
awesome amazing fantastic magical
Excellent review!
Great looking car. Needs to fit golf clubs and I’m sold!
Ferrari have been making a two seater estate for years.
I assume he meant "when the 911 went water cooled"
I have a macan gts currently but thinking about this, but looks so wide for real world use
Excellent car. Tax efficient choice as a company car 😊
best looking ev ever!
X5 was the sporty SUV, what, 3 years before the Cayenne/Touareg twins. And can this really be a choice? 250 mile range means a long distance run to the South of France is going to be hopelessly slow.
260 Miles is ridiculous. Take 10-20% off in cold weather. Not worth it until the range goes up dramtically.
wow didnt know that porsche was the original suv
In what world does an electric car hold a candle to an internal combustion engine? I wish these series were more practical.
Best in the Taycan range.
More visual of the details of the car please and voice over rather than focus on the presenter and less car
Love the name Estate, we don't quite use that name in the USA, can someone educate me on the true definition of estate when used to describe a car?
You'd call it a station wagon
@1:25 just a bit of a mistake. Unless I'm mistaken and old Porsche were water cooled and they moved to air cooled. 😉
Dang
It is a lovely car, but it is small for an estate car and tiny compared to an SUV. I can get golf clubs, electric trolley and road bike into my Cayenne with ease - I cannot get a road bike into a Taycan estate without removing both wheels and the seat post! There simply isn't enough room. So unfortunately it is not for me. Come on Porsche - improve the packaging!
Is that seriously true, you cannot fit a road bike without removing both wheels AND seat post? That's a deal breaker.
Yes, I tried many times and simply could not do it. The answer from the Porsche salesman was that they sell a bike carrier.
@@jonausten1261 I'm astounded. We're talking the wagon/estate right, not the sedan?
@@MarkLRandall yes
Check out your camera work/angles, we can’t see in detail what your describing when your pointing it out.
I saw a deer crossing behind the car
I read the thumbnail "canine killer" seeing a dog.
😳
If it cost £12,000 it might be relevant.
I like the car, but my 608hp Alpina B5 touring has more room and goes from 0-60 more quickly with a 202 mph top. It also allowed us to drive to Scotland at Easter without having to stop and recharge.
So you never stop to eat, rest or pee?
@@mgist9354 No, because he lives in Berwick-upon-Tweed!!!
A Porsche?? A real Porsche makes a narly sound
Looks like a Porsche and a Ford LTD had a child.
I do love this car but I’m not sold on its practicality, an Audi A5 sportback has more legroom and cargo room despite being a foot shorter and much narrower as well.
Nope 1:00, BMW X5 was made in 1999 and it wasn't just made for farmers.
Another 'wanna be Clarkson' review. It's about the car, not the reviewer! We never got to see a decent view of the car, just arty farty, low down snippets and A LOT of the reviewer just talking, being 'witty and lyrical' (is that what he thought he was doing?). 'Massive', 'wide' - give us figures. Show us the car from where our eyes are, not our knees.
A car 1% of the population can afford has saved the estate, woohoo
But I enjoy seeing them when the opportunity comes. There are some handsome ones around here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Well, I doubt estates are even 1% of US vehicle sales…
@@2Greenlid I think that is changing. There is a lot of excitement around the new GR Corolla. It being a joint development between Toyota and Subaru I suspect there will be a version from the latter as well. Mazda and Hyundai also have performance 5 doors.
@@sensualeye those aren’t estates, more like 4 door hot hatches. I am super excited about the Corolla
@@yodaddamilkman8422 I consider any car with 5 doors an estate. A hatchback has 3.
I did look up "estate" just to be sure about my usage. Marketing terminology has changed over the years. What you call a 5 door hatchback was called a station wagon in the 80s. And a station wagon (American term) is also considered an estate (European term). So we're both correct. I'd bet there is at least a 30-year age difference between us. 🙂

A ridiculously expensive vehicle "is saving the estate car". Right. What a bunch of prats.
You do realize it eventually trickles down to the average joe....usually.
@@trance9158 no they won’t. Luxury cars don’t trickle down. Sure you might have the money to buy one, but you won’t be able to afford to drive it.
Insanely overpriced.
So Porsche invented the road going SUV? I think range Rover might have something to say about that they were doing it for 30 years prior so what does this guy smoking. On top of that he's doing a fluff piece on a car that nobody wants because it's depreciation is appalling and it's miles per kilowatt is absolutely disgraceful but he doesn't mention any of these things so this must be nothing more than a paid fluff piece
you cant say that its not pretty
260 miles of range anxiety, I’ll stick with my Audi C7 quattro that still goes 80mph for U.K. roads easily, 600 miles of range, all for £23k. Also I don’t need a carbon roof to brag to my friends I’ve got carbon fibre on my car, and has everything else this has. Rather have the GT3 for near the same money.
Another paid fluff piece for a car nobody's buying. Terrible miles per kilowatt appalling depreciation nobody wants this car so they hire every single influence so they can find to tell you it's the best thing since sliced bread nobody's buying it
Why are you whining like this? As a reporter you will never be able to afford such a car anyway! ;-)
You may dream of such a car.
Form and function best combo. Handles well,looks great,less drag than an suv and weighs less. 🤫
Great review!
It's not an estate. It's an hatchback. A "great expensive gorgeous fun to drive" hatchback.
... Toycan ! 😆
I’d love one of these, perfect for my requirements with the boys bike and other stuff in the boot and shopping in the froot. I’ll take mine in that Granny Smith like green metallic that Porsche do. Now I just need £120k to fund the purchase.
Will it have to have a brand new battery pack in 10 years time?
Wagons have always been THE ultimate form of car. Storage and usability without destroying handling and efficiency.
On the looks the Sedan wins for me, not even a debate. But I dont like the boot in my 4S, its not very practical.
Any car brand with history could sell wheelbarrows if they need batteries ???
Soooo big. You need a second car to go shopping
I can't believe that Porsche claims that this car is a "Turbo". Its a rolling appliance
there's an estate shaped taycan it calls turbo, but it's not this one. admittedly it's easy to lose track with all the different models they have
well not really because the boot isn't that big and it wont tow that much. exactly the two reasons my old man bought his cayenne
having had both, the Taycan is just too wide for UK roads (to accommodate the humongous battery)
260 miles max range?! So not a continental cruiser to whisk you from London to Cannes with the wife children and dog. What is the point!. My 1990 Mercedes 300 TE-24 sportline had only 240bhp , only 7 seats,. Only a range of 350 miles between 'recharging' in a few minutes. Could only do 147 mph and 0-60 in 7 seconds....but i could do London to Cannes in 10 hours. Bet that 130000 milk float could not. Thats the point of a powerful estate.
I was told in 2006 that the previous year, the area in Europe that sold the most Cayennes MKI was Catalonia, with around 600+… so yeah, they bought them…
It's the most beautiful estate car, I own a rs4 b8 witch I absolutely love.
But I just question myself, how on earth a 2800 kg car can be Eco...?😢
I love the looks of this car. I would love to have this as a plug-in hybrid with flat 6 in the front or V8? Arghhh...decisions!!!
Get a Panamera, ever come to mind🤷🏻♂️
When 400 km of range suits you, taycan is the answer.
