So is it like a simulator? Pressing some buttons?
2:19 phase plant!!
The Taycan was never lacking performance. It's incredibly fast. But at some point Hyundai realized something was missing.
So…. Hyundai?
come inventare il cambio automatico e montarlo su un auto con la frizione finta
long time ago you hate gearbox if a noise, now you lick that spit again lol
As a automotive enthusiast I give a round of applause to the Hyundai with Ioniq 5 N, as it pioneered this feature for mass produce ev which now adopted by other brand and opened a new chapter in the EV evolution,what hyundai doing is proving to other brand and to us the driving pleasure is not disappear even though become a ev
Her voice is autotuned?
Yes, yes, KIA have it, so many years ago!
So extra lies added
"we realized something was missing- an internal combustion engine"
Oh baby Taycan Prelude has S+ shift, let's do it
The video ends with ‘there is no substitute’ lol This entire eshift things is a substitute…. For a real engine Porsche engine
Sad day, I remember BMW getting hit for piping in some of the exhaust sounds on the M5–this is another level, fake noise and fake shifts. hopefully it makes noise at low speeds so pedestrians in parking lots can hear it, and it would be good if they give you that racing engine on startup. If u r gonna fake it go all the way. Lastly stop calling it an engine, its a power unit.
This E-Shift feature for the Porsche Taycan is a brilliant example of how automotive engineering can bridge the gap between traditional mechanical engagement and cutting-edge electric performance. In my work as an executive health transformation coach, I know that deep focus is often unlocked when the brain receives consistent, predictable sensory feedback from our environment. By giving drivers a tangible connection to the powertrain through haptic paddles and dynamic sound, Porsche is essentially creating a more immersive cognitive loop that keeps the pilot fully present. Designing this to be performance-neutral while allowing for manual control over power delivery and recuperation provides a fantastic outlet for those who crave active participation rather than passive transit. For high-performing leaders, this level of interaction with their machine offers a powerful, micro-managed distraction from the heavy mental load of complex business problem-solving. It is fascinating to see how digital innovation can be leveraged to stimulate the nervous system by making the driving experience more intentional and satisfying rather than just fast. This feature effectively proves that you do not need to sacrifice modern efficiency to enjoy the visceral, soul-stirring feedback that makes driving a restorative and invigorating part of a high-achiever’s daily routine.
Taycan is the best EV in my opinion!
Finally – this is what a electric Porsche needs to be successful – now have this feature on all electric models. Another mistake that Porsche shouldn’t make – just because they wanna make electricity cars doesn’t mean they have to make cars that doesn’t look like a Porsche, what I mean is a electric Porsche should look like a normale Porsche and not a car from the future that everyone can see is a electricity car.
Stop creating fake cars! We don’t want them…😡
Bitte tragt den 911 zu Grabe wenn ihr auf E umstellt.
Mit Batterien wird man nie in absehbarer Zeit ein 1400kg Renngerät bauen können.
Einfach nur traurig das ganze.
Chill out guys, this isn't our channel. 😅
Great minds think alike, Porsche. 🤝
0:11 Actually, it is only one thing that is missing – the engine.
AMG did it first – Porsche just copying :/
What is missing is simple: You need to understand who your customers are. They are not buying a Porsche because they care about the environment. They buy it for the experience. This experience is fake. Who is buying into that?
Create a new Brand that makes E-Cars cool, give it the same feel as Porsche and you have a winner. With Porsche there is an expectation you can't shift. (See Seat -> Cupra, you already done it)
Ah, i forgot: No one cares about this feature. It's a gimmick and after 5 minutes its boring, people will realize that loud does not equate strong, the necessatiy for that is just gone.
Why not red color button 😅 more exciting people
They go to great lengths not to say they want it to be like a 911.
It's here where you see the limitation of germans. They had the opportunity to do the same as Hyundai and bring it a level up. Like doing a 10k rpm tacho, with a carrera GT or 993RS noise but in the end they did the same as the ioniq5n ( which is good we petrolhead are waiting for this ) but with a v6 turbo sound that stop at 7k rpm… Guess they will keep those feature for later cars and charge more.
Just to say: I have a knob at my Kia EV6GT (2025 Facelift) at my steering wheel which activates E-Shift. It’s simply there. Plus 650HP. For 69.999€.
the internal engine sound for this Taycan tru the speaker now can be comparable as ICE Porsche ?
For everyone saying that Hyundai did this first; yes, so what? If you drive an automatic transmission, GM did it first. Good ideas will always bring imitation.
superpeinlich!!
I was so looking forward to the 718 EV convertible. I like the quiet of EVs, but I’m sure many would have liked E-Shift on that car. Such a disappointment that it’s no longer coming.
0:06 put an engine in it lol
🎉🎉
So fun ❤
Finally people might buy them?
This is so dumb. It’s like trying to make a car gallop because the horse used to do it. Just stick to making your beautiful ICE 911s Porsche
sugar coating a rubber doll … just drive the real thing … !
Does it have the fake shift feel? Not just the sound
So stupid! They will never learn – too many people have been financially hurt by the Taycan – why not provide a longer battery warranty and a sensible price ? too many alternatives now with better reliability.
Virtual gear changes!!! after a year they will have to do another upgrade and the previous Taycan will fall in price by 40% what a joke!
This sounds fun to drive
You could make sound combos that can be turned on and off independently. By that i mean the individual sound of turbo, or supercharger combined with a v12 or 2 cilinder 20k rpm bike engine. Then you choose seperately the engine sound, the induction sound or combine them all.
Imagine a taycan hum + v12 + 2 turbos with different sizes, + a supercharger. All that can be a toggle
(Thats all great but id still buy combustion lol)
Next up manual taycan.
fake shift
Cool !
Please make a cheaper electric Porsche, more affordable !
Well done!
Compared to an e-shift button, the GT steering wheel needs more a "previous track" button. Having only a "next track" button and no "previous track" was a strange design choice.
