Is Porsche Threatening Tesla With the Taycan?

Description

Porsche's first full-production electric vehicle, the Taycan, is already gaining a lot of interest from prospective buyers. Porsche's North America president and CEO didn't offer specific figures, but he said that if every person who's already placed a pre-order for the vehicle purchases one, the Taycan will sell out in its first year.

  • The new Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo Design Preview in Oak Green

    Porsche has given the Taycan a particularly extensive update. The new versions have more power, more range, accelerate quicker and charge faster with greater stability. Style Porsche has also sharpened the design and more strongly differentiated the Turbo models. All Taycan versions feature an even more extensive standard equipment list and come with the latest generation of the Porsche Driver Experience with an improved display and control concept.All three body variants will feature the numerous modifications from the date of launch – the Taycan sports sedan, the versatile Taycan Cross Turismo, which is available with an off-road package, and the sporting-yet-practical Taycan Sport Turismo. In each case, four powertrain options are available, with rear- and all-wheel drive variants. The revised versions will arrive at Porsche Centres from the spring of 2024.All updated models accelerate much faster than their predecessors. Two examples from both ends of the portfolio: as sports sedans, the Taycan and Taycan Turbo S reach the 100 km/h mark from a standstill in just 4.8 and 2.4 seconds respectively. This makes them 0.6 and 0.4 seconds faster than their predecessors.With the new push-to-pass function in the Sport Chrono package, a boost of up to 70 kW, depending on the model, can be called upon for 10 seconds at the touch of a button. The increased acceleration rates are generally the result of higher system output. For example, the base Taycan delivers 60 kW more than before. In the Taycan Turbo S, it’s an additional 140 kW with Launch Control. This increases the system output of the top model to 700 kW/952 PS.

  • Head of the model line Kevin Giek explains the new Porsche Taycan

    Porsche launches the extensively updated Taycan. The new model variants offer more range as well as shorter and more robust charging processes. During an initial range test from Los Angeles to San Diego and back, pre-series models demonstrated their further improved efficiency.The all-electric sports cars covered up to 587 kilometres on one battery charge on public roads. The range test was carried out under everyday conditions. Twelve international media representatives drove four Taycan sports saloons and a Taycan Cross Turismo on three days on Interstate Highway 405 and 5 between the Southern Californian metropolises of Los Angeles and San Diego. The teams drove at the maximum speed of 75 mph permitted on interstates. This corresponds to around 120 km/h. All four test cars were equipped with the larger Performance Battery Plus.The Cross Turismo 4 with 21-inch tyres had a range of up to 512 km. The Taycan Turbo covered up to 555 km with a wheel and tyre combination of the same size. The Taycan 4S on 20-inch tyres managed up to 552 kilometres on a single battery charge. The Taycan with rear-wheel drive and 19-inch tyres managed an even more impressive 587 km. The outside temperature peaked at around 26 degrees Celsius. The highway was dry on the first two test days and very wet on the last day.The cars were charged at the Electrify America Charger in Torrance/Los Angeles. Here, the Taycan demonstrated over 300 kW charging power for many minutes and was able to charge from 10 to 80 per cent state of charge several times in well under 20 minutes. The charging performance, charging time and the time it takes to start charging were also greatly improved in this test.
