I drove hi-tech electric Porsche – massage seats and 376-mile range are great but best bit was above my head
IF you thought electric cars were the death of thrilling driving, the Porsche Taycan Turbo wants to have a word with you. And it’s so hi-tech, maybe it just might.
This sci-fi-made-real masterpiece seems purpose-built to convince petrolheads that EVs can knock your socks off just as well as any motor powered by explosions.
Porsche’s all-electric Taycan line is an increasingly common sight on UK roads.
You may have seen one silently rush by, ghostlike.
It’s clearly Porsche on the outside and inside too, and – as expected – it goes like the wind.
I had a chance to spend a week with the car, testing out all of its gadgets and gizmos.
First, for the motoring enthusiasts: it’s ruddy fast.
It’ll whisk you from zero to 62mph in just 2.7 seconds. That’s Lamborghini speeds.
And it has a top speed of 162mph, which you’ll never need to hit – but it’s nice to know.
A more useful statistic is its electric range, which comes in at 376 miles.
That puts it on the higher end of EVs, and it’s actually practical, which is the important bit.
Its maximum charging power is 320kW, and it has a minimum charge time from 10% to 80% charge of just 18 minutes.
If you can find rapid chargers, the battery absolutely flies up.
Better still, there’s a Porsche Charging Service that gives you discounted access at the speedy IONITY stations.
And you can just tap your car key on the terminal to pay. Very swish.
Much of the electricity goes towards powering the truly delightful driving experience.
But it also powers a lot of the magical features inside the car too.
The model I drove had 14-way electric seats that were heated in the front and back.
Pair that with four-zone climate control plus heated steering and you’ve got a ride that’s exactly how you want it.
Even better was the massage feature in the chairs that wasn’t quite as good as a proper masseuse but it was plenty relaxing.
Your passenger can also get a massage. You’ll have pals lining up to pop to the shops with you.
Perhaps more mind-blowing was the panoramic roof overhead, which would change its opacity at the touch of a button.
You could block out light, let a bit through, or make it transparent – seemingly as if by magic.
I probably lost about 15 minutes just poking the button in awe, like if you’d handed an iPhone to a caveman.
And if that wasn’t entertaining enough, the passengers get their own display, there’s a bass-thumping Burmester 3D surround sound system, and USB-C charging ports that work just fine with the new iPhone (and modern Android blowers too).
The tech isn’t just there for your comfort, mind. There’s some handy gizmos for driving too.
For a start, you’ve got Apple CarPlay support, which is hard to live without these days.
It creates a kind of mirror of your iPhone on the in-car display so you can access your music, maps, and contacts in a familiar form.

There’s a heads-up display that’s projected onto the road via the windscreen so you can see how fast you’re going and speed limits.
You’ve got parking support thanks to a suite of cameras, as well as active lane keeping so you don’t stray while cruising.
And the cruise control is adaptive, so it’ll automatically slow down in keeping with traffic ahead – rather than just blasting along at a single set speed.
The wing mirrors are heated, the vanity mirrors are illuminated, and there’s an electric sport sound so you feel like you’re going warp-speed when you press the go pedal.
There’s also a cool trick with the headlights, which use HD-Matrix LED tech to split them into 11 segments.
These can then be lit up or dimmed individually, so you can keep the road lit without blinding oncoming traffic.
And all of this happens automatically, so you don’t really have to do much other than keep driving.
The beauty of the Porsche Taycan Turbo is that it was clearly made with love – and not just a bid to churn out a half-baked EV.
This is a proper car for people who love driving, but it runs on electricity and goes “vshhh” instead of “vroom”.
If you can deal with that – as well as the UK’s still-growing charging network, which isn’t where it needs to be yet – then you’ll have a blast with this model.
The catch? Well it’ll cost you at least £134,000 for a base Taycan Turbo – or about £167,000 for the model I tried.
Christmas is coming up, so if you’ve been good, try sticking it on the list for Santa. It’s more fun than a PS5.
Poll suggests Fine Gael is set to lose seats in Donegal as Fianna Fail tipped to gain two – with Sinn Fein favourite
FINE Gael is unlikely to retain a seat in Donegal after the General Election, while Fianna Fail set to win two in the county, according to a poll tonight.
According to the latest TG4/Ipsos B&A study, Donegal‘s voters are set to boot Fine Gael out of the constituency.
The poll, revealed on Nuacht TG4 this evening, shows that the party is unlikely to retain the seat won in 2020 by Joe McHugh.
Charles Ward, the 100 per cent Redress candidate, is also set to struggle to win a seat.
Just one percentage point separates two Fianna Fail candidates.
Pat ‘The Cope’ Gallagher receives the West Donegal vote at 13 per cent, while outgoing Minister for Agriculture, Food and Marine Charlie McConalogue is on 12 per cent for the Inishowen Fianna Fail vote.
Charlie McConalogue is said to be more transfer friendly according to the poll.
These two candidates were up against each other in 2020 when both were up for the party seat.
Charlie McConalogue eventually claimed it.
Donegal continues to show support for Sinn Fein ahead of the official vote on November 29.
Pearse Doherty is topping the polls, above the quota needed at 22 per cent.
Pádraig Mac Lochlainn is on 11 per cent of the vote and is well positioned to retain his seat.
This is set to be helped by the transfers from Noel Jordan, who is on 2 per cent and currently running in the south of the constituency for Sinn Fein.
Mac Lochlainn will also be helped with Pearse Doherty’s surplus.
There are five seats up for grabs in the Donegal constituency, with a quota of 17 per cent needed.
Fine Gael candidates Nikki Bradley and John McNulty both have two per cent, while Aontu’s Mary T. Sweeney has four per cent.
According to the poll, Non-Party candidate Thomas Pringle is on 11 per cent, while Non-Party runner Niall McConnell is on two per cent.
Green Party candidate Nuala Carr is on two per cent.
People Before Profit candidate Carol Gallagher, Irish Freedom Party candidate Eamon McGee, The Irish People candidate Kim McMenamin and Fianna Fail’s Claudia Kennedy are all sitting on just one per cent.
Non party candidates Frank O’Donnell and Gerry McKeever also have just one per cent.
The poll for Donegal was conducted over the phone on Friday and Saturday, November 15 and 16 as nominations were closing.
Two other independent candidates, Vincent Bradley and Arthur McGuinness have both declared that they will run.
Fine Gael’s Joe McHugh and Martin Harley will not run in this election.
Nuacht TG4 will reveal the results of the Mayo constituency on Thursday November 21 and Kerry‘s results on Tuesday November 26.
