DragTimes on YouTube got to do some performance testing with the Taycan Turbo S and Turbo to see how they compare with each other. He goes through tests like 1/4 mile, 1/8 mile, 0-60 MPH, and 0-130 MPH tests.

Here are the results that he was able to get. What really stands out is how much the charge levels can affect the car. The Turbo S had a 57% charge and the Turbo had a 91% charge and they posted similar numbers.

Turbo S (57% charge)
Test 1
60 ft - 1.64 seconds
0-60 - 2.91 seconds
1/8 mile - 6.97 seconds @ 99.85 mph
1/4 mile - 10.91 seconds @ 124.58 mph
0-130 mph - 12.05 seconds

Test 2
60 ft - 1.62 seconds
0-60 - 2.85 seconds
1/8 mile - 6.95 seconds @ 99.86 mph
1/4 mile - 10.89 seconds @ 124.58 mph
0-130 mph - N/A

Turbo (91% charge)
Test 1
60 ft - 1.73 seconds
0-60 - 3.08 seconds
1/8 mile - 7.09 seconds @ 100.74 mph
1/4 mile - 10.97 seconds @ 127.02 mph
0-130 mph - 11.56 seconds

Test 2
60 ft - 1.74 seconds
0-60 - 3.10 seconds
1/8 mile - 7.09 seconds @ 100.92 mph
1/4 mile - 10.97 seconds @ 127.15 mph
0-130 mph - 11.53 seconds

I don’t think it’s charge level, rather the fact that there is not much difference in useable power between Turno S and Turbo. In fact if you spec the two cars with similar features the price differential is around $10k for higher numbers with marginally better speed.
