Porsche Taycan Turbo S

The closest hyper GT comparison in Dream Car Garage’s 600-car catalogue exposes the Taycan Turbo S’s defining position: it is not the outright fastest car in the collection, but it is among the quickest. Its 0 to 100 km/h time of 2.8 seconds places it 44th overall, faster than 556 cars in the catalogue. That single figure changes how this Porsche should be viewed, because its strongest statement is the way electric performance is packaged into a luxury four-door format.

The Taycan Turbo S sits in the top 12 per cent of the catalogue for power, with 750 bhp placing it 70th of 600 cars. Its electric layout is one of only 10 represented in the collection, and just 10 cars pair an electric system with AWD. Those numbers give it a rare technical profile within this garage, not through a production claim, but through the small number of cars that share its basic approach.

With 1,110 Nm of torque and all-wheel drive, the 2019 Porsche Taycan Turbo S delivers its performance through an electric powertrain rather than a conventional engine layout. Its five-door fastback sedan body style places that capability in a form designed around more than a single purpose. The top speed of 260 km/h ranks 403rd in the catalogue, showing that its appeal is not built around chasing the highest maximum speed figure, but around the balance between acceleration, power delivery and usability.

The Taycan Turbo S also occupies an interesting place in the catalogue’s pricing landscape. With a used price of £100,000, it ranks 293rd for cost, meaning it is more expensive than 307 cars in the collection. At £133 per bhp, the relationship between price and performance is another part of its appeal. Porsche’s 65 cars in the catalogue sit within a wider German presence of 197 vehicles, and the Taycan Turbo S represents a distinct corner of that group.

This is the car for the collector who wants a hyper GT with a different foundation from the majority of the catalogue. It suits someone building a garage around contrast, choosing a 750 bhp Porsche from Germany that reaches supercar acceleration figures through electricity while remaining a five-door fastback sedan. In a collection of 600 cars, it creates a conversation about where performance can come from next.
