If the Porsche Taycan Turbo and Turbo S are just a bit too pricey for your tastes, there’s the Taycan 4S. This entry-level model is offered with two battery sizes; the standard Performance Battery that generates 522 hp and the optional Performance Battery Plus, which churns out 563 hp. The single-layer Performance Battery comes standard with a total capacity of 79.2 kWh, while the two-layer Performance Battery Plus from the Taycan Turbo S and Taycan Turbo with a capacity of 93.4 kWh can be selected as an option.



Both Taycan 4S variants boast a 155 mph top speed and can hit 60 mph in a mere 3.8 seconds. Just for comparison purposes, the base Tesla Model S Long Range also tops out at 155 mph and can hit 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. While Porsche hasn’t officially released range estimates, the Tesla Model S Long Range offers 370 miles on a full charge, and most are reporting a 280 mile range on the Taycan 4S on a full charge.
