You’d better start readying the tar and feathers, because it’s another electric car – a subject guaranteed to spark rage among dedicated petrolheads.
But to refuse to embrace them is to accept that the future will not produce any classics at all, and that would be a sad lookout indeed.
And anyway, right now I’m deaf to any criticism. I’m still coming down from my previous high and already seeking another open stretch of road for my next fix, when I can level the throttle and sense the world rearranging itself once again.
From the whiplash-inducing standing start, acceleration is the Porsche Taycan Turbo’s party piece.
Rest to 60mph takes a shade over 3 secs, to 100mph less than seven, its 2305kg heft flung forward like a pinball by the twin electric motors’ combined 627lb ft of instant torque.
But that’s not the most impressive bit: in the mid-range it’s breathtaking.
Try to imagine 80-120kph (49-74mph) in 1.9 secs and you can’t; it has to be experienced to be believed.
This isn’t even the fastest one – there’s a turbo S with another 80bhp should you need an even bigger high.
