Very stable in corner usual x drive feel but in sport you can get the car to squirm for fun when you nail the accelerator out of a corner.

The drivetrain is brilliant: ev for 80km and b58.

It handles really well for a big car but not quite as agile as a Taycan CT.

The Taycan steering feel is better.

Taycan is noticeably wider which can be a nuisance on tight roads when overtaking.

I was really interested in the Taycan CT but chose the 550e as we have an i4 in the house and I didn't want two full EVs.
Thx for your insights! I thought the active roll stabilisation comes with the m adaptive professional or maybe it is different on a non M pack 550e?

The Taycan is wide indeed. Did the Stelvio and some other passes and it was tight. Also difficult for parking.

And it is low. And the seats are hard. After 2 hours I have to get out. Fortunately that is about the same as the long distance range.
