The first production all-electric model with a Porsche badge, the Taycan is part of a 6-billion euro initial investment in electro-mobility from the German sports car maker.
All Porsche Taycan versions are all-wheel-drive and feature two electric motors, one for each axle, which are powered by a large Lithium-ion battery. The Taycan Turbo and Turbo S are by far the most powerful models from the lineup.

As the first production vehicles with a system voltage of 800 volts instead of the more usual 400 or less in other EVs, the Taycan Turbo and Turbo S are also some of the most powerful road-going Porsches ever built. The Taycan Turbo develops up to 680 horsepower thanks to an overboost function and can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph (62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds while the model’s range is of 450 kilometers according to the WLTP standard. The top of the range Taycan Turbo S has up to 761 horsepower with overboost, and in combination with Launch Control can go from 0 to 100 kph (62 mph) in just 2.8 seconds. Its range is slightly lower, though, with up to 412 kilometers being achievable with a single charge according to WLTP. Both models have a top speed of 260 kph and are powered by a 93.4 kWh Li-ion battery.

Unveiled a few months after its more powerful brothers, the Porsche Taycan 4S is the original entry level model in the world of electric Porsches.
Overall the car is almost identical to the Taycan Turbo and the Turbo S, but there are plenty of differences between the three models underneath for Porsche to choose to call and price them individually. Just like its more powerful brethren, the model is all-wheel-drive.

The Taycan 4S can be delivered with two battery sizes, with the bigger battery also coming with more horsepower for the model. The standard single-deck Li-ion battery has a total capacity of 79.2 kWh and give the car a range of up to 407 kilometers in accordance to WLTP. With 530 horsepower with an overboost function on tap, the standard Taycan 4S can accelerate form 0 to 100 kph (62 mph) in 4 seconds flat and has a top speed of 250 kph (155 mph). The two-deck 93.4 kWh Li-ion battery from the Taycan Turbo and Turbo S is optionally available, improving the maximum range of the car to 463 kilometers according to WLTP. Despite having up to 571 horsepower when fitted with the bigger battery, the upgraded Taycan 4S has identical acceleration and top speed numbers in both battery and power versions.

Porsche refreshed in 2021 its first full-electric vehicle, the Taycan, and added more range and better features to the four-door sedan.
When the German sports cars maker announced the Taycan, its fans were in shock. But Porsche faced the cruel reality of climate change and the fines for CO2 emissions and had to do something. It didn’t start with the iconic 911 lineup but introduced a completely new model, the Taycan, in 2019.

Come 2021, and the carmaker updated the Taycan and showed it on the small exterior changes. The entire lineup featured standard LED headlights. A pair of vertical air-intakes flanked the front bumpers as on the non-facelifted version, but they were wider. At the back, depending on the version, it sported a new bumper and diffuser.

Inside, Porsche installed a partial-leather upholstery on the entire Taycan range. The carmaker pointed out that it was a man-made type and that it wouldn’t offer natural leather for the four-door sedan. A 10.9” display for the infotainment system found its place in the middle of the dashboard and offered another screen, as an option, in front of the passenger.

Porsche offered the 2021 Taycan with a choice of two battery packs, which provided a range of 407 km (253 miles) and 463 km (288 miles), respectively.
