My takeaway was: so it's down to the tires... oh, and whether or not the driver farted on turn 7 and lifted off a little in the process. Time for a Taycan test drive methinks... |

Nice comparison.
I will pick the M8, since after full 4x20 minutes track day I will make it home in less time than the Taycan.

The Taycan's tires howled in protest at even the slightest turn....every single time.

I drove the Taycan Turbo...not the S and not on the track, but it totally reset my perception of "fast".
For the ///M Boat to hang with it dead even...well I'll give bmw the credit they're due |

It felt like the M8 was driven at 9/10ths, and the Taycan at 10/10ths. He threw it into the first two corners at higher speed than the M8... of course that's purely my subjective opinion, so it would be interesting to see multiple laps. Either way, not much in it, so the lighter car will eventually have less brake fade, but perhaps the Taycan will compensate with regen...
interesting! Thanks for the video! |

I noticed the sound difference as well. SO much so that I thought gee did they use a different camera and microphone? It was night and day. Wild.

There is no comparison.

No way I'd consider it without it being closer to 300 miles of range.

The Taycan is the boat here -- 5100 lb curb weight vs the 4480 lbs curb weight of the M8.

I've tried really hard to get into the electric vehicle stuff but they just have no soul...maybe it's from years as a golfer driving electric carts listening to the whining motor's hum, but electric vehicles leave me wanting much more of an experience like those of their fossil fueled alternatives.

You take the Taycan Turbo S and trade it in for an M8 and an X3.

Nice video.
The Taycan is stupid fast for its weight, and Porsche did a great job making it stable even when it is not a track car. The M8, I have wanted to see the driver exit the corners more aggressively, like the AWD car it is! |
