In just three quarters of this year, the electric Porsche has reached over 28,000 customers worldwide and continues to push sales records. What is the reason for the phenomenon of this model? The versatility, attractive design and driving characteristics, which seem to make fun of the laws of physics, certainly have an influence. To this we add breathtaking performance. The fastest variation takes just 2.8 seconds to reach the top 100. We check what else surprises Taycan.
Two body versions
Taycan debuted two years ago. This year the Cross Turismo variant has been added. There is no room for compromise in the design. The car looks dynamic, and the distinctive front apron has neatly integrated matrix LED headlights. Despite its length of nearly 5 meters, it looks neat, especially when mounted on 21-inch alloy rims. We also have two luggage racks at our disposal. The front holds 84 liters, while the rear holds 407 to 1,197 liters. The 290.5 cm wheelbase translates into a spacious cabin.
Modern gadgets
The Porsche cabin is made of fine materials. Depending on the configuration, we can work with Alcantara, perforated leather, aluminum or wooden decors. It all depends entirely on our fantasy. The interior is spacious and the multi-contour seats are strongly contoured. I don’t want to get out of this car. The good impression is enhanced by multimedia with efficient audio, high-resolution cameras and precise navigation. Reacts to gestures and voice commands. The display in front of the driver’s eyes is 16.9 inches.
Two versions of the battery
Porsche has left customers the choice of two battery capacities – 71 and 83.7 kWh net. The basic Taycan variant with an engine power of 408 HP and 345 Nm can travel up to 431 kilometers. The drive goes to the rear axle and it takes a modest 5.4 seconds to sprint to a hundred. When deciding on the Performance Plus battery variant, we have as much as 476 HP and 357 Nm at our disposal. In this case, the range increases to 484 km. In both versions, the top speed is limited to 230 km / h. Interestingly, the car is equipped with the Launch Control system as standard.
Even more excitement
Subsequent specifications already have all-wheel drive and an even greater amount of power. No kidding here, and the adrenaline rises as you wander the speedometer hands. The Taycan 4S develops 530 or 570 hp and 640 Nm. This translates to a sprint to 100 km / h in 4 seconds and a top speed of 250 km / h. This version also has the longest range – up to 484 km. The Turbo version is a proposal for demanding customers – 680 HP and 850 Nm. The adaptive suspension and precise, razor-sharp steering help to transfer the parameters to the asphalt.
Highest in the range
The uncompromising solution is the Taycan Turbo S. There is no joke here, and the catalog data shows 761 HP and 1050 Nm of torque. Using the Launch Control function, we will be catapulted to a hundred in 2.9, and to 200 km / h in about 10 seconds. Porsche sticks to the road and responds perfectly to the driver’s commands. It is important that we get full power from the moment of launch. Acceleration is accompanied by a racial sound. It is definitely worth paying extra for this option.
Refined in every way
A Porsche electrician is a real engineering skill. We can equip it with air suspension and a rear steering axle, which makes it maneuverable like a popular compact. It was perfectly muted and balanced. The weight distribution is 50:50, which translates into unmatched stability. The 800-volt installation allows a charging speed of 270 kW. After five minutes, the range can be increased by up to 100 km. Another issue is the flexible financing available to private clients and businesses. It is important that many cars are available immediately.
