Performance
Things are pretty close here, too, between the Turbo S and the Model S Performance, although the 4S' specs are pretty solid, too. The Taycan Turbo S is capable of over-boosting for short periods of time to produce about 750 horsepower and 774 pound-feet of torque, enough to shove the car to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds, continuing on to a top speed of about 162 mph. Without the over-boost function, the motors produce 616 horsepower. The 4S' base variant over-boosts from 429 to 522 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque, while the 4S with the Performance Battery Pack raises output to 482 hp (563 hp with over-boost) and 479 lb-ft of torque. Both 4S variants will reach 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, and both have a top speed of 155 mph.
The Model S Performance, on the other hand, produces approximately 762 horsepower and 723 lb-ft of torque from its motors. Sixty mph arrives in a slightly quicker 2.4 seconds, and the top speed is a smidge higher at 163.
The Taycan 4S is the slipperiest of the three cars, with a drag coefficient of 0.22 versus the Taycan Turbo S' 0.25 and the Model S Performance's 0.23. The Taycan Turbo shares the same figure as the 4S, as well.
