PERFORMANCE

Responsive acceleration and precision handling are expected from German-engineered brands like Porsche and Audi. Excelling equally well on the highway as they do on motorsports tracks, the Porsche Taycan and the Audi S e-tron GT set new standards for electric performance.

Performance Capabilities

The Porsche Taycan and the Audi e-tron GT offer dynamic performance designed for city streets and highways. In place of an engine, a powerful battery and electric motors help the Taycan or S e-tron GT move forward with horsepower (HP) exceeding 500 HP and acceleration from 0-100 km/h (0-60 MPH) under four seconds. However, in a head-to-head comparison, the Taycan takes an early lead with its top speed, even in its standard configuration.

Top Speed	250 km/h (155 MPH)	245 km/h (152 MPH)

If you want more, the Porsche Taycan delivers. It features five additional motor configurations, each more powerful than the last. The Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package offers peak performance, delivering up to 1,019 HP and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h (0-60 MPH) in 2.2 seconds.

Precision Performance

There’s more to performance than mere numbers. To command the road, you need a vehicle that delivers precision handling. The Porsche Taycan and the Audi S e-tron GT have standard all-wheel drive, which ensures traction and control, especially during tight turns. However, the Taycan stands apart with additional performance-focused features.

The Taycan offers an optional Sport Chrono Package, which adds SPORT PLUS Mode for fine-tuned responsiveness. It also includes telemetry data to help you improve each lap time.

AESTHETICS

Sometimes, you can’t beat a classic. The timeless brand design of Porsche and Audi is infused with a modern twist with the Taycan and S e-tron GT. These electric sedans incorporate contemporary design elements while reflecting their respective brands' iconic styling to ensure you’re always in the spotlight.

Customization Options

A unique combination of paint finishes, wheel designs, and upholstery creates a space representing your style. While each sedan can be customized, the Porsche Taycan lets you create a machine that fits your aesthetic and vision. With it, you'll access more visual components than the Audi S e-tron GT, creating dozens of combinations.

	Porsche Taycan	Audi S e-tron GT
Paint Colours	18	7
Wheel Designs	10	3
Upholstery Colours	11	2

The Porsche Taycan offers a truly bespoke experience through its Exclusive MANUFAKTUR® program. With this, you can access more than 190 exclusive colours and customize nearly every cabin aspect, including seatbelt colour, front air vent frame, contrast stitching, and more. The Audi S e-tron GT offers no similar bespoke design program.

Enhanced Design

The Porsche Taycan and the Audi S e-tron GT feature sleek, modern designs that reflect their premium craftsmanship and attention to detail. Standard Matrix LED Headlights provide advanced illumination for enhanced visibility and road presence.

However, only the Taycan features available Tinted HD-Matrix LED Headlights. With a Glacier Iceblue tint and innovative lights that react to the changing environment, the Taycan ensures you can see and will be seen on even the darkest roads.

The Porsche Taycan's design can be enhanced with the optional SportDesign Package, which adds elements like High Gloss Black exterior accents, specialty side skirts, a rear diffusor, and a lower front fascia. No design packages are available for the Audi e-tron GT.

FUNCTIONALITY

Cutting-edge technology and advanced capabilities make the Porsche Taycan and the Audi S e-tron GT perfect for every occasion. While both models are rooted in convenience, only one revolutionizes your commute with ride-optimizing capabilities.

Connectivity Simplified

The Porsche Taycan and the Audi S e-tron GT prioritize connectivity with centrally located touchscreens for seamless operation; you can adjust settings, use apps, engage navigation, and more. You can even pair your smart device with these systems to bring your contact list to your vehicle.

Long trips are no match since each sedan comes standard with a wireless phone charger. Podcasts, audiobooks, or calls with loved ones will never be cut short due to a low phone battery.

While these SUVs have convenient touchscreens, only the Taycan extends the privilege to your copilot. The 10.9-inch front passenger display allows your fellow traveller to send navigation directions, control audio, and view in-car video streams. It’s a Taycan exclusive, making it the preferred choice for you and your partner on the road.

Enhanced Features and Comfort

As luxury vehicles, the Porsche Taycan and the Audi S e-tron GT have integrated features that help you make the most out of every commute. For example, a standard or available fixed panoramic glass roof allows natural light into the cabin, creating an open atmosphere. Additionally, available climate-controlled, massaging front seats help you reach your destination without experiencing driving fatigue.

While each model has much to offer, the Taycan shines with exclusive optional features, including:

Air quality system
Soft close doors
Night Vision Assist

These features of the Taycan help you breathe cleaner air while enjoying a more refined experience not offered with the S e-tron GT.
