Porsche Taycan 4S

The Taycan 4S with the Performance Plus 93.4 kWh battery occupies a compelling position in the Taycan range — delivering enough performance and range (288 miles when new) to serve as a genuine daily driver without the premium commanded by the Turbo variants. This 2021 example in black has covered 36,478 miles and arrives with a notably strong factory options list that sets it apart from a standard 4S.

The exterior spec is purposeful: Exclusive Matrix LED headlights in gloss black with PDLS+, 21-inch Mission E alloys, SportDesign side skirts, privacy glass, and the blacked-out rear light strip with PORSCHE logo all add up to a more aggressive look than the base car. Mechanically, the Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB) are a worthwhile addition for a car of this performance level. Inside, 18-way adaptive sports seats with memory package, advanced 4-zone climate control, fixed panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting, and the Accent Package in Dark Silver make this one of the better-specified examples you're likely to find at this price point.

The performance numbers are familiar: 563 bhp through all four wheels, 0–62 in 4.0 seconds, and a 155 mph top speed. Porsche Electric Sport Sound adds some acoustic presence to the otherwise near-silent driving experience. At under £44,000, this is a well-equipped, mid-mileage Taycan 4S with sensible running costs relative to its performance credentials.
