A car enthusiast since childhood, Chris Perkins is Road & Track's engineering nerd and Porsche apologist. He joined the staff in 2016 and no one has figured out a way to fire him since. He street-parks a Porsche Boxster in Brooklyn, New York, much to the horror of everyone who sees the car, not least the author himself.
The first time I drove a Tesla Model S, I was blown away. It was 2015, and it was right when the ultra-quick P85D model came out and Autopilot made its debut promising a future of self-driving cars. My, how things have changed.Admittedly I was very green when I drove that Model S. Since then, I've driven hundreds of cars, many electric, so my perspective has changed. But that doesn't change the fact that all those years ago, the Model S was one of the best cars in the world.
I drove the Plaid up the Crest just after having come down in our above-$200,000 winner, the Taycan Turbo S and the contrast couldn't be more sharp. The Porsche is as close to dynamically perfect as you can get in a heavy luxury sedan. Mid-corner bumps that upset the Tesla weren't felt in the Porsche. The steering talks to you, and the driver can feel grip level at the road through the seat.
