Porsche Taycan

The Taycan is the electric car for someone who wants a Porsche sports car with four doors and room for the family. It was launched as the Sport Saloon, and the Sport Turismo adds a sloping roofline with a load area of more than 1,200 litres behind the tailgate. The Cross Turismo adds off-road styling cues and comes with all-wheel drive as standard. Every body style seats four or five.

Performance

The range starts with a rear-wheel-drive Taycan at 300 kW (408 PS), which Porsche quotes at 4.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h with launch control. The Taycan 4S gives 400 kW (544 PS) with overboost and launch control and reaches 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. At the top, the Turbo S has 700 kW (952 PS) and takes 2.4 seconds, and the Turbo GT has 760 kW (1,034 PS) and takes 2.3 seconds, or 2.2 seconds with the Weissach Package. Top speed runs from 230 km/h in the entry cars to 305 km/h in the Turbo GT with Weissach Package. Several versions are also offered as a Black Edition.

Range, battery and charging

Porsche offers a 28-module Performance Battery and an optional 33-module Performance Battery Plus. With the larger pack and range-plus summer tyres, the combined WLTP range reaches up to 700 km. Ranges vary widely by version: the entry Taycan is listed at 520 to 609 km, the Taycan 4S at 489 to 560 km and the Turbo GT at 540 to 559 km. With the Performance Battery Plus the car charges on DC at up to 320 kW, and Porsche gives 18 minutes for 10 to 80 percent under ideal conditions.

The high-voltage battery is covered worldwide for eight years or 160,000 km. Porsche also guarantees 80 percent of the original capacity for three years or 60,000 km, then at least 70 percent until the battery warranty ends.
