This electric car is epic to drive, and I’ve found one for half price

Car changing is a big deal
The Porsche Taycan GTS blew me away when I first drove it in 2022, and now you can save £60,000 by buying one second-hand.
There’s a lot to like about electric cars. They’re quiet, easy to drive and cheap to run, but there aren’t many which are fun to chuck down a country road.
That is unless you’re talking about the Porsche Taycan GTS, because this car handles really well. Before I get into what I love about this car, let’s first talk about money.
The Taycan GTS starts from £118,000, and you can lease one through Carwow for £1,549 per month. That makes it around £30,000 more expensive than the standard Taycan.
It’s a huge chunk of money no matter how you look at it, but there is a way you can get behind the wheel of this sporty EV for a lot less cash. I found this 2023 Taycan GTS with just 26,000 miles on the clock for £60,000. That’s almost half the price of a new one.
It’s only slightly more expensive than a top-spec Skoda Enyaq Coupe vRS, but it’s an awful lot faster. With 600hp on tap going to all four wheels it’s almost painfully quick off the line, and then you hit a twisty road.
Electric cars can feel quite heavy and lumpen, but the Taycan GTS hides its weight really well. It may not be as fun as a Porsche 911 or a Panamera, but it feels agile and the steering is direct.
It’s a shame that the Taycan GTS doesn’t have the best range. This one will do 273 miles on a charge, whereas the rear-wheel drive version can manage over 400 miles. It’s also worth noting that the latest GTS has a new battery which gives it up to 394 miles of range.
Beyond the mediocre range though, the Porsche Taycan GTS is one of my favourite electric cars. The interior is really nice, it’s brilliant to drive and it’s packed with tech, and now it’s a proper second-hand bargain.
