Taycan

There is a precise reason the Taycan belongs here more than almost anywhere else: Sardinia is an island you listen to. On the coast road between Chia and Teulada, windows down, the soundtrack is wind moving through the Mediterranean scrub and the murmur of tyres on warm asphalt. A 408 hp electric sedan turns the Cagliari – Chia – Villasimius itinerary into something no combustion engine can deliver: speed without commotion, presence without noise.

The second argument is logistics. LSM Car Luxury delivers the Taycan to wherever you happen to be — Cagliari Elmas airport, the port of Olbia, a rented villa in the hills above Santa Margherita di Pula — covering 27 destinations and 3 airports across the island. If you are flying into the south, a Porsche delivered in Cagliari is the natural starting point for the southern coastline.

The first launch from standstill recalibrates your expectations: 0–100 km/h in 4.8 seconds without a moment's hesitation, the torque arriving whole and all at once. The Taycan is also that rare EV with a two-speed gearbox on the rear axle — first gear is there for pure acceleration, second settles the car into an easy stride on the long straights of the SS131. Underneath it all, the Porsche Electric Sport Sound — a deep, synthesised, almost spacecraft-like timbre — tracks the pedal without ever drowning out the landscape.

Then come the corners. With the battery laid flat in the floor, the Taycan carries an exceptionally low centre of gravity, and you feel it everywhere: steering as direct as a coupé's, body roll all but absent, a front end that finds the apex with a composure that flatly contradicts the car's size. On the hairpins climbing towards Capo Spartivento you drive it like a sports car, not like an executive sedan.

The rental range opens with the single rear-motor configuration and steps up to the 4S, which adds all-wheel drive and a reserve of thrust you come to appreciate when overtaking on the island's main roads. It is the most balanced choice for couples or a party of four touring Sardinia, with two luggage compartments — one at each end — that swallow a week's worth of bags.

The Turbo and Turbo S are a different conversation altogether: supercar performance in a sedan's body, for those who want the benchmark of the category. Every version shares the 800-volt architecture, which turns rapid charging into a coffee break rather than a wait. You will find the Taycan alongside the other luxury sedans for rent in Sardinia; requirements and conditions are provided at the quotation stage.
