2020 Porsche Taycan 4S Suspension Walkaround - Examining An Epic-Handling Electric Vehicle

The 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S is an incredibly well-crafted high-performance electric vehicle that may actually handle better than a Porsche 911. There, I said it. Why? It's underfloor batter gives it a lower center of gravity than a 911, and it's weight distribution isn't nearly as tail-heavy. It rides on Panamera-based suspension, but it works even better here because the Taycan is shorter, lower and ... wider than the Porsche Panamera. The 4S isn't the most powerful Taycan in the lineup - the Taycan Turbo and Turbo S have more power. But the 4S is plenty fast, and it's got all the steering, handling, brakes, and tires it needs to be a serious sports car. It's insane. And though I didn't put that footage in this video, I did conduct a range test. This car is rated at 203 miles, by my test loop result was 300.5 miles. I hope to edit that footage together soon.

Why am I doing this? I love this stuff. I'm a former suspension development engineer that got into auto journalism, and for several years I created a popular photo feature called a Suspension Walkaround for Inside Line, a now-defunct offshoot of Edmunds.com (no relation). Today I have resumed writing these features under the name Suspension Deep Dive for Autoblog. Between the two, I have written at least 90 of them. Throughout, numerous fans have asked me to make video versions.

I never seemed to have the time, the equipment, or the confidence to get in front of the camera, but I got over that by hosting at least 80 professionally-produced videos over the last three years on the Edmunds You Tube channel. If you like it, tell your friends, click subscribe, share links, give it a like and check out the other videos on my channel, which is simply called Dan Edmunds. And I take requests. I can't promise that I can get my hands on any car or truck, but the odds are good. And the more views I get, the more horsepower I'll have when requesting cars to examine.
