Porsche Taycan

The demand for electric vehicles is ever increasing, and Porsche is one of the latest automakers to join the electric vehicle craze with its first production EV, the Taycan. It is based on the Mission E Concept that debuted at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show and aimed at the likes of the Tesla Model S. Three trims are currently offered on the Taycan: 4S, Turbo, and Turbo S; the three examples above are Turbo and Turbo S models. All trim levels are all-wheel drive and have two electric motors. The 4S produces 522 horsepower with the standard battery and 563 horsepower with the larger battery, while the Turbo and Turbo S produce 670 and 750 horsepower respectively. 0-60 mph times for the Taycan are 3.8 seconds for the 4S, 3.0 seconds for the Turbo, and 2.4 seconds for the Turbo S. It is the first production EV with a two-speed transmission and an 800-volt electrical system, allowing the vehicle to accelerate quicker and recharge faster. According to the EPA, the Taycan's range is significantly lower than that of the Model S, coming in at 201 miles for the Turbo and 192 miles for the Turbo S. Pricing starts at $105,150 for the 4S, $152,250 for the Turbo, and $186,350 for the Turbo S. Porsche recently unveiled a base model Taycan in China with rear-wheel drive and a single electric motor. So far, the base model Taycan has only been announced for the Chinese market. Overall, the Porsche Taycan is an incredible and impressive car, and it has become one of my favorite Porsches and electric cars. I would have difficulty choosing between the Taycan and the Tesla Model S because the Taycan has bolder styling and better build quality, while the Model S has better performance.
