Porsche Taycan Turbo

There will also be a top-of-the-range a hundred and forty thousand pounds.

You just knew that Porsche. We're going to throw the engineering Hammer at this car.
Let's get some numbers out the way first shall we you're looking at the hundred and fifteen thousand pound tie can turbo but there will also be a top-of-the-range a hundred and forty thousand pounds Ty can Turbo S lesser possibly rear-wheel-drive models come later.

Anyway, the turbo and Turbo S and motor on each axle for four-wheel-drive 625 horsepower with a power split roughly two-thirds rear a third front but here's the headline the Turbo S has up to seven hundred and sixty-one horsepower in an over-boost mode not to 62 in 2.8 seconds, not 225 and under ten and a hundred and 55 miles an hour flat-out weirdly. It's not the tycoon's extravagant performance that is most interested in electric. Isabel made straight-line performance figures seem a bit easy recently.


You can do as many naught to 125 miles an hour runs as you like without any tail off in performance.

 Haven't they know? It's the fact that this car runs on an eight hundred volt architecture, which is twice the norm a higher voltage means lower current in inverse proportion and lower current means less heat in the motors and in the electronics and in the batteries when you're super-fast charging, it also means a lighter wiring loom and thinner wires that take up less space and then because the Tycoon has such good thermal management. It means the performance is repeatable.

So you can do as many naught to 125 miles an hour runs as you like without any tail off in performance. You don't have to park it up after a couple of goes like you do with a certain American manufacturer and there's more because this car unusually for an electric car has a two-speed gearbox mounted at the back. The lower ratio gives you that incredible acceleration at lower speeds from taking off the second ratio. Will that gives you higher efficiency?

At higher speeds and all, that means that you've got a smaller motor that's more easily cooled.  
Anyway, it gets the full truckload of chassis AIDS including air suspension adaptive anti-roll bars and electronic rear diff and four-wheel steering most of which you can switch off entirely if you're feeling handy.  

The center of gravity is lower than the 911 thanks to that 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery slung low Between the Wheels.

That graphic is probably more visible on a white car rather.

 So let's talk about the design the details of this car starting here at the front with the headlights it has four LED daytime running lights surrounding the main LED Matrix beam in there. And then the whole thing is surrounded by this Boomerang shaped black plastic intake I say intake because this feeds cool air into the brakes as well as cleaning up the aerodynamics. that graphic is probably more visible on a white car rather than a navy blue one come around here to the wheels much to talk about. Here, this is a turbo, of course. So these are the 20 inch Aero turbo Wheels, Porsche Taycan formula e,  that these whole sections are blanked off that, of course, is all in the name of aerodynamics reducing turbulence, but you still have gaps in the wheels because the brakes require cooling if you go for the Turbo S, then you can get the 21 inch wheels and they have a very cool body-colored Rim around the edge quite a lot like the mission e Concepts Wheels brakes.

 The Turbo S comes with carbon Ceramics as standard 10 piston calipers.

They are the steel breaks, but with the ceramic coating on them, and the reason for that is quite interesting because the Thai can produce so much regenerative force. It can break the car with no point for jeez.  you've even engaged the pad on the disk. It can feedback 265 kilowatts of energy back. To the battery when you're on the brakes as a result. It's realistic that some people could drive around without actually engaging the mechanical friction of these so that Coatings there to ensure they don't rust that they don't lose the performance moving along a little bit of theater for you. Now.

The charging port manufacturers are having quite a bit of fun making their charging port. So unique and I have to say that is one, Porsche Taycan Goodwood of the best coming along the side of the car.  

 The back seats.

 Portia has created a sort of scallop in the lithium-ion battery underneath your feet. They call it the foot garage, which I quite liked but the point is you sit low. It's snug there's plenty of room but you still feel sporty even when you're a passenger will come around the back.
The first thing to mention that full-width light signature remembers that because it's what you're going to see when this call flash is passed you at night.

It has a boot 366 liters. I'm told there are two boots. In fact, another one in the front 81 liters the Frank as we like to call it and then we get to the spoiler. You may not even notice that it has a spoiler. That's because it's sitting here in its showroom mode which is flush with the bodywork but it has two other positions.

The first is for normal and range modes where it lifts just slightly because that's its most aerodynamic position and then Sport and Sport Plus it lifts even further to give you that extra downforce you need when you're driving in a sporty manner it also acts as an air brake as well. So when you stomp on the brakes it will stand right up and keep you glued to the road other obvious things. It doesn't have tailpipes, of course, so you're not going to burn. And the hair of your legs when you getting stuff out the boot there is a diffuser down there and if you get right down there, you'll see it's a perfectly flat underfloor on this car. They've even enclosed the rear suspension for the first time on a Porsche because aerodynamics efficiency, aerodynamic or otherwise is at the very core of the Thai cans design, which is why I can shut down the rear motor completely when cruising why there are those partially closed Wheels cooling ducts that close automatically when they're not needed that perfectly flat underfloor and a very slippery drag coefficient of just 0.2 to by comparison.

The new 911 is 0.29.

The result of all, this trickery is a w ltp certified range of 262 miles on the Turbo S and 283 miles on the turbo maximum DC charging speed is five to eighty percent in 23 minutes at a peak of 270 kilowatts somewhat shy If Porsches Target of 15 minutes, but as the charging infrastructure improves the Thai can is ready to charge even faster.
 Inside the Thai can the first thing I want to say is that you sit low really low like 9/11 low which when you consider you've got this massive lithium-ion battery under your ass. I have no idea how Porsche has done it but there you go, right? What can I see in front of me? A fairly conventional Port wheel with switches and roller switches and a dial here for your drive mode but behind that it starts to get quite exciting this incredible 16 inch wide curved configurable instrument display. It is a thing of beauty a thing of sculptural beauty.

I'd say moving along another screen.

This is more conventional just the screen that you'd normally have in the middle of your - it's where you can change a chassis modes or your recuperation level or change your radio station and then down here.
Yet another screen bit like you get in a Jag your eye pace for controlling your aircon and you can open doors and charging ports and you can check your charging status down.
