This Is Our Best Look Yet At The Incoming Porsche Taycan
We’re about six months away from what stands to be one of the most significant cars in Porsche’s history. Stuttgart is working on its very first fully electric vehicle, and this is your first chance to see it.
Well, kind of. It’s still wearing a lot of camouflage in these new pictures, and Porsche hasn’t released an image of the entire car. But still, we do get a better look at the car’s styling than ever before.
The link between this and the 2015 Mission E concept is clear, as are the styling nods to other current Porsche models like the 718 Boxster and Cayman twins, the new 992-generation Porsche 911 and the Panamera.
No new technical details have been revealed, but we do already know quite a bit about the car. There will be several power outputs, with versions producing in the region of 400, 500 and 600bhp expected. All will put their power through two-speed transmissions.
Bizarrely, the range-topping version will be called the ‘Taycan Turbo’, despite the obvious absence of, erm, a turbo. It will be able to hit 0-62mph from rest in just 3.5 seconds and reach 124mph in 12. It’ll be quick to charge as well as being fast in a straight line - Porsche is promising that the Taycan can receive a 249-mile charge in 15 minutes when hooked up to the right kind of charger. A 62-mile charge, meanwhile, will take around five minutes.
A lightly off-road-ified Taycan - previewed by the Mission E Cross - will appear in 2020. As revealed last month, the next-generation, all-electric Macan crossover will follow in 2021.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Honestly when cars this or mercedes eq comes out there wouldn’t be a reason to buy a tesla anymore
It’ll add diversity no doubt, but it won’t deter buyers from Tesla who are already interested in the brand
Yea but tesla has a built up supercharging network
Thats a good thing because i bet their quality of craftsmanship is higher than Teslas
Tell that to the owners who are hardcore Tesla fans, they will defecate all over this and any other Electric car simply because its not a Tesla, this will attract a new consumer base and Tesla owners who are bored of their boring cars
Pretty sure a comparable tesla is isn’t going to be as expensive as the Mercedes and Merc doesnt even have a supercharger network and tesla has a better autopilot function . those are still good reasons to buy a tesla.
I can’t wait for it to be revealed, this is gonna be a game changer
Oh yeah no doubt about it. And there’s gonna be a wagon which I’m super excited about
This is the only EV i would ever buy
Porsche x Rimac
Ehat more could you wish for?
Still a beautiful porsche.
Porsche Taikan
Looks like a very posh Panamera….. And I love it
With accessibility to electric cars in mind I won’t be ditching my gassers anytime soon, but for sure I’ll have to be getting an electric car soon.
I wonder where those pictures were taycan
Still looks like a Panamera 😂
Only if you knew had polluting is to make a battery, lithium is damn explosive, and the batteries are built in countries that use coal for energy, CO2 may be reduced but SO2, NO2 & other microparticles will get a lot higher & they are way more dangerous, asked physisians that’s what they said & they were furious!! Besides the economical system will be destroyed, huge unemployment rate, and ofcourse all the poor taxpayers are gonna pay for Rich assholes to drive & charge them!! That’s socialism at its worst!! And do you know how expensive electricity is?? Especially in America & Greece are damn high, electricity is not given by god, besides ethanol, biodiesel & other biofuels are gettin’ their way in Europe like they did in America, it’s damn cheap & damn ecological which means EV’s won’t be so successful, and after telling facts by scientists I don’t give a shit if you agree or not!! You’ll tell me to take me for a ride for the torque that doesn’t fix anything!!
