I just stumbled across this video of the Taycan doing a launch in the wet. Amazing to think it can grip that well on a wet surface.

And here it is in super slow motion!

An automotive journalist just posted his demonstration of the Taycan's launch control. It's probably the best example I've seen so far.

Included are three video clips of the launch, 1 interior, and 2 exterior. It sounds incredible inside!

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly it gets off the line without losing grip. That slo mo shot is remarkable.

About that, I bet at some point it will need stickier tires.
Lets not forget its spec'd as an all around daily driver and thus won't come with the stickiest

I wonder what rubber Hennessy will change to.

I agree, I can't wait to see what Hennessey has in store for the Taycan. In terms of tires apparently Porsche worked with Michelin, Pirelli and Continental so I'm sure they have something up their sleeve for stickier tires. https://gearpatrol.com/2019/09/21/porsche-taycan-the-secret-challenges-of-developing-the-all-electric-sports-car/

Speaking of grip, take a look at what the Taycan is like going sideways!

Found this more complete video of the Taycan's launch control which captures it from being dead silent, to preparing to launch and finally launching.

I don't know about you guys but I really like that electric hum it makes before it launches.

Agreed! In fact, I like the whole sound. Very cool!
