America exports a lot of culture, and it seems the Germans may have picked up a new slang term from the American military personnel stationed in-country.

Add a motor to the front axle, which comes standard on every other trim, and things really start to get spicy. Just stepping up to a Taycan 4S all-wheel-drive model drops the 0–60 time to 3.5 seconds and is more than enough for most people. It’ll certainly feel like you’re driving a damn quick car, especially coming out of a corner when you sense the front axle helping to pull it down the road.
Shorter charge times mean you’ll have less time to stand around and admire your new prized possession, but you don’t need much, anyway.

Same for the new rear fascia.
While the technology is impressive, the system is so imperceptible as to make you question its value. It may be highly capable on paper and during instrumented, 10/10s testing, but we had trouble detecting any significant difference in pitch, dive, and roll with the system turned off, or when compared to a base model, which gets standard dual-chamber air springs, adaptive dampers, and mechanical anti-roll bars.
