Model

Designed by Porsche, the Taycan Turbo S is an all-electric car that uses an environment-friendly electric powertrain. The interior of the car features innovative recycled materials.

The Taycan’s cockpit is a high-tech, futuristic space that offers intuitive touch operation and a completely new architecture. This includes a central infotainment screen that runs Taycan-specific software and a freestanding, curved instrument cluster that places focus on the driver’s axis.

The cabin features up to four digital displays. One of these is an 10.9-inch touchscreen that can be configured for different functions. Another is a lower-screen that allows the user to input navigation details and open the trunk. The front passenger’s display can be customised as well.

The Taycan’s rear footwells are arranged to accommodate two luggage compartments. This allows for a low vehicle height and rear passenger comfort. The luggage compartment has a capacity of nearly 100 litres.

The car has a powerfully sculpted side and a sloped, rounded nose. Its taillights are full-width lights that serve as turn signals. The vehicle’s center of gravity is low, which results in impressive steering and braking.

Trim

Among the most advanced sports cars on the market, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S is one of the most powerful vehicles on the road today. It can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than three seconds. It also has a top speed of 161 miles per hour.

The interior of the car is sleek and sophisticated. It comes with heated and ventilated front seats, an air conditioning system, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. It features a curved display that controls the car’s suspension, lighting, and traction control systems.

Taycan models also include wireless Apple CarPlay and SiriusXM. The rear seats have a 5.9-inch touchscreen display, which allows passengers to control comfort features. The Taycan can also be equipped with massaging front seats. However, the cost of this feature is extra.

The entry-level Taycan uses a single electric motor to drive the rear wheels. It has a combined city/highway fuel economy of 79 miles per gallon. The Taycan Turbo S, meanwhile, gets 70 mpg.

The Turbo S trim adds 18-way power-adjustable front sport seats with a variety of power settings. It also includes carbon-ceramic brakes.

Body Style

Depending on which model you pick, the body style of the Taycan will be a little different. For instance, the Cross Turismo is station wagon-style tailgate, while the GTS is more like a sports sedan. And if you choose the Cross Turismo, you get more utility, with a shooting brake and increased ground clearance.

The Taycan is available as a four-door or five-seater, with a choice of rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. There are two luggage compartments for the vehicle, one behind the front seats and the other under the bonnet. The rear luggage compartment has a capacity of nearly 100 litres.

The interior of the Taycan features a pair of USB-C ports and a USB-C auxiliary port. There is also wireless smartphone charging between the front seats. There is a touchscreen in the center console. The lower dashboard has an 8.4-inch infotainment display, while the upper screen is a 10.9-inch configurable driver’s display.

The front bucket seats are powered and offer 14-way adjustments. There is a third seat in the back, but it might be a bit tight for adults with long legs. You can upgrade to power-folding mirrors and an adaptive cruise control system.

Exterior

Initially launched in the US and the Middle East in late 2019, the Taycan is the first series-produced all-electric sedan from Porsche. It will be available in a range of variants including the Turbo and the Turbo S.

The Taycan is powered by two AC 460 kW permanent magnet synchronous motors, producing 774 lb-ft of linear torque at the start. The car can hit a top speed of 260 km/h and has a range of 450 kilometers.

The car’s rear axle features a 2-speed automatic transmission, which allows for quick acceleration and a higher top speed. The car’s interior has a modern design. It includes a 10.9-inch central infotainment screen that controls navigation, the HVAC system, and other aspects of the car. In addition, there is a 5.9-inch touchscreen in the rear that can be used by the front seat passengers.

Inside, the Taycan offers a sleek cabin that is well-equipped with high-quality materials. It has a low seating position, and sports seats that are adjustable in 18 different ways. There is also a heated steering wheel and carbon fiber trim.

Interior

Despite its extreme aerodynamics, the Taycan Turbo S interior looks like a normal sports car. The interior is made from innovative recycled materials and it showcases a sustainable concept of an electric sports car. It’s available in four exclusive color schemes and passengers can choose from Race-Tex material for the upholstery.

There are four individual seats inspired by bucket-type racing seats. Each seat is designed for an average height of 1.75 meters and provides appropriate lateral support.

The steering wheel has green decorative stitching. There is a two-speed transmission on the rear axle. This makes for a powerful and responsive drive. The absence of a transmission tunnel gives the cabin a more open, airy feeling.

The dashboard features a large freestanding instrument cluster that’s curved and forms the highest point on the dashboard. This is a new architecture that features intuitive touch operation. The cockpit is also home to an optional passenger display, which is a 10.9-inch infotainment screen that controls all of the cabin functions.

The roof has a curved shape and can be opaque or clear. The Variable Light Control feature, which was previously only available in the Taycan GTS, lets the driver choose how transparent the roof is. This allows the driver to adjust the level of solar heat that enters the cockpit. This helps to reduce the risk of the scalp overheating.

Engine

During my test drive of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S I was reminded of the Porsche 911. They share a lot of features, but their propulsion systems are very different. The Taycan is an all-electric SUV, while the 911 is a high-performance sports car.

The Taycan’s electric motors are driven by magnets, similar to those in a combustion engine. The two motors are connected by a two-speed transmission on the rear axle. This means a lot of torque off the line. The two-speed system also helps when cruising.

The interior of the Taycan has a very clear, uncluttered structure. It’s very spacious, with room for four individual seats that are inspired by bucket-type racing seats.

The cockpit also features a touchpad controlled display that shows powertrain status. You can also use the touchpad to access controls for the various functions. You can also configure your infotainment system to your liking using an optional touchscreen. The cockpit also has a freestanding, curved instrument cluster, which puts focus on the driver’s axis.

Mileage

201 miles of range is not a good number for an electric vehicle at any price. If you’re comparing this Taycan to the Tesla Model S or Jaguar I-Pace, the numbers aren’t very impressive.

The EPA estimates a 225-mile range for the base model. However, the real-world mileage is a bit better. Porsche claims it can travel 300 miles on a single charge. This is the same for the Turbo variant. It’s also true that recharging the Taycan takes a bit longer than refuelling a gas-powered 911.

The EPA and AMCI have tested the Taycan’s range in various forms. The EPA compared it to the Toyota Prius, while AMCI performed a more thorough study of the vehicle’s capabilities. They found that the EPA’s 201-mile estimate isn’t too far off.

The EPA estimated the Taycan’s mileage as a ‘MPG equivalent’. It did so by converting the energy used in driving the vehicle into a measure of gasoline-equivalent efficiency. The EPA did this by combining city and highway driving. The result was a “real-world” driving range of 278 miles.

Drivetrain

Unlike some electric cars, the Taycan is built using battery packs that are tucked in low in the chassis. This battery provides extra torsional stiffness, which helps with handling and handling dynamics.

The battery pack in the Taycan is 93.4 kWh and is mounted in the floorpan of the car. The Taycan has an electric driving range of 199 to 227 miles. The drivetrain is also rated to deliver 750 horsepower.

Taycan is Porsche’s first fully electric production vehicle. It is a sports car designed for the driver. The car has a unique drivetrain that blends regen with friction brakes. The acceleration is neck-snapping and the car has fantastic handling.

The Porsche Taycan is available in several trim levels, ranging from a base rear-wheel drive setup to a Turbo S model with two electric motors. All models will come with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Taycan is also equipped with a surround-view camera system and automatic emergency braking.

The Taycan’s suspension features dual wishbones up front and a multi-link out back. The interior of the Taycan has a clean and modern design. It also has a number of traditional Porsche themes.
