Porsche has taken a massive leap into the future of electromobility with the much-anticipated reveal of the Taycan. But it’s more than just an electric car, it’s a performance car, it’s a Porsche. That’s underlined by a headline-grabbing 0-100km/h time of just 2.8 seconds for the fastest version.
Importantly, the Taycan is not a replacement for the 911, not now, not ever. The company is adamant that its 911 will always be its brand icon and while there might be plans for electrification of its popular sports car, the Taycan is a new line altogether, a C sports sedan. When it arrives in SA in the second half of 2020, there will be two versions, the Turbo and Turbo S. Turbo? Yes it’s a little odd given that there is no turbocharging, but Porsche says its customers will be more familiar with the naming convention. Think of it as fast and really fast.
Performance is only part of the Taycan’s character though because it’s also about being a modern sports car, one that can carry five people, four comfortably, while exploiting the potential of Porsche’s 4D Chassis Control dynamics system. It’s connected with an infotainment system that responds to “Hey Porsche” and the car can receive over-the-air-updates including potential performance upgrades.
