Porsche unveiled its first electric car, called the Taycan, Wednesday. The car was introduced in two high-performance versions, the 670 horsepower Taycan Turbo and the 751 horsepower Taycan Turbo S.
The"Turbo" in the name might be a little confusing. These cars have no actual turbochargers because they're powered entirely by electricity. Turbochargers are used to boost the power output of gasoline engines. But Porsche is now using that name to distinguish high-performance versions of the electric car.Also, the maximum horsepower figures will be available only in an"Overboost" power mode for quick launches.
Don’t forget the 751 hp 👍😊
The very fact that they put the word “turbo” on these cars make them laughable.
I definitely want one of these! Gotta win the 649 though 😒
Hello please do your homework. First electric Porsche is 120 years old:
The people in the Bahamas must be thrilled.
How cool! I'd like to driver this car. RT : Porsche's first electric car, the Taycan, can go from 0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds, and most of its controls and instruments are accessed through touch screens
I still only want a Tesla. :)
Nice
too heavy

Electric cars are only getting better. Long battery life more charger stations.
Software by Boeing. 😱
I am sure the slaves who mined the materials needed to produce this will feel some relief. They did not die in vain. Some rich person in this country got to virtue signal by purchasing one.
How long before the batteries have to be replaced? My cell phone battery lasts 2-3 years tops. Also, how would one ethically dispose of battery acid?
Looks awesome....
What happens when the power is out due to a storm ? I mean you can be home but not able to go anywhere.
Auto manufacturers you are on notice. Starting on day one if elected, only EV cars will be sold in America. Big Hint!
When you lounge in Pakistan
How can an electric car have a turbocharger? There is no exhaust stream to place it into.
wow!👍😍

Touch screens are fine, until you see this, at 60 MPH, on the highway...
All Acuras do that; and have done that for years.
No innovation comparing with tesla
Looks like a Buick LeSabre
Looks good
RIP Tesla not long to go now,
This can eat a tesla for breakfast.
Touchscreens in cars are B. A. D. You have to look away from the road to operate them. Physical tactile controls are so much safer.
Touch screens?!? If I'm driving a car accelerating from 0 to 60 in three seconds, I don't want to be looking down at a touch screen. Give me buttons, knobs and switches I can identify without looking at them.
Where do the turbos go....?
Will the purchase ability of this car for working class Americans be yet another Gov subsidized aka tax increase program?
Oh, only $151k. I guess the 'Tesla killer' idea is a bit overblown.
Looks like a Tesla model S cheap version.🤦♂️ Id better buy model 3.💯🤷♂️
151k!!!! For a load of Duracell’s and 4 wheels linked to a ZX Spectrum!!! Love it!!! margin
pmaho12 I don’t want the macan anymore
So it’s like a Tesla ?!?
Total waste of time in the real world of motoring. Lucky if you get past 30mph!!
Nice!!!

Yeah that ought to fix climate change when a population of a few hundred people can afford the FLUCKING CAR!!!
Looks cool but but everyone can afford this...
oh... you mean like Tesla has been doing for a while now?
XSchauffele this one looks like is calling your name! Power & speed like your Tee off drives! When batteries run low in 2 decades you can use to help run your home. My dad worked as photog for Bradley GT 40 years ago. Below one of their cars.
Can they make on cheaper please. Lol
Liberals are hereby ordered to stop using fossil fuel and eating meat. Fall in line!
Snorts in derision. OK so technological advances filter down and become cheaper but really, $151k and upward.

So a car for the millionaire that cares about their carbon footprint, but not enough to drive a reasonably priced electric car and donate the rest to a cause that could use the money cleaning up the environment. Cool. Cool.
No Turbo in Taycan Turbo
crifici 🕶️
The fact that Porsche is moving into this area is just a reminder Trunps stupid auto standard rollbacks are going to put US auto in the toilet.
Yuck, like all the other Porsche's.
So basically it's a Tesla at twice the price
May I use a groupon?
I thought it was a Tesla at first.
Yet another car thst misses the point of electric vehicles
The Tesla roadster 2.0 goes 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. Nice try Porsche but try again
