I'm looking at the Taycan models on the Porsche website. The Taycan 4 CT has about 470 BHP and does 0-60 in an absolutely rapid....

5.1 seconds.

Is it that heavy? The Golf R does it in 4 (source: carwow video)

Some of the other models look similarly "slow", but that one stood out the most. Is it a weight thing?

Define 'slow'.

You've picked the base model, and are going by the official stats.

All Taycans are too fast for the road, the base one is the least bonkers. All of that power and torque is available instantly.

But if they're too slow for you, please be careful not to buy one by mistake.
Wow, it appears I touched a nerve with a simple question. Hopefully you have a better day tomorrow pal
