2020 Porsche Taycan

Porsche presents its first fully-electric sports car with the 2020 Taycan.

The four-door sports sedan is a unique package, offering characteristic Porsche performance and connectivity with everyday usability. At the same time, highly advanced production methods and the features of the Taycan are setting new standards in the fields of sustainability and digitalization.

The first models in the new series are the Taycan Turbo S and Taycan Turbo. They are at the cutting edge of Porsche E-Performance and are among the most powerful production models that the sports car manufacturer currently has in its product range. Less powerful variants of these all-wheel drive vehicles will follow, and the first derivative to be added will be the Taycan Cross Turismo.

The flagship Turbo S version of the Taycan can generate up to 750 horsepower of power in combination with Launch Control and overboost, while the Taycan Turbo can produce up to 670 horsepower. The Taycan Turbo S will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds, while the Taycan Turbo can complete this sprint in 3.0 seconds.

The Taycan is the first production vehicle with a system voltage of 800 volts instead of the commonly used 400 volts for electric cars. This is a particular advantage for Taycan drivers on the road: under ideal conditions, the charging time from five to 80 percent State of Charge (SoC) is just 22.5 minutes, with a maximum charging power (peak) of up to 270 kW. The overall capacity of the 800V high voltage battery is 93.4 kWh. Taycan drivers can comfortably charge their cars with up to 9.6 kW of alternating current (AC) at home.

With its clean, pure-Porsche design, the Taycan ushers in a new era. From the front, it looks particularly wide and flat with highly contoured wings. The silhouette is shaped by the sporty roofline sloping downward to the rear. The highly sculpted side sections are also a strong characteristic of Porsche styling.
