Porsche is ramping up the promotional stuff ahead of the Taycan's debut. Professional racer, Shea Holbrook, drove the Taycan from 0 to 90 mph to 0 in 10.17 seconds, on the USS Hornet aircraft carrier.
An owner of a Tesla Model 3 Performance tested his car to do 0-90-0 as well. He ended up going to 96.9 mph instead and did the entire run in 12.4 seconds.
The folks at L'argus in France took a Taycan Turbo S on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and raced it along cars like the 911 GT3, AMG GT R and M2.

If anyone needs more proof that the Taycan can be used a track car, check this video out. Auto Bild put the Turbo S up against the M8 Gran Coupe Competition on their track and both cars posted nearly identical times (Turbo S was 0.2 seconds faster).
Carwow raced the new 911 Turbo S against the Taycan Turbo S.
The 911 has 650 hp compared to the Taycan's 761 hp but it's also the lighter car by a large margin. The 911 got off the line quicker and the Taycan couldn't catch up. The 911 did the 1/4 mile in 10.2 seconds and the Taycan did it in...
Porsche Centre Chester let Matt from Rybrook TV drive the Taycan Turbo S and it seemed to have won him over (he says he didn't like it when he saw the photos).
The Straight Pipes put together a side by side comparison video between the Taycan Turbo and Turbo S. They lean towards getting the Turbo instead of the Turbo S, but they're split on stuff like the carbon ceramic brakes.
