Porsche, renowned for its commitment to performance and innovation, unveiled its inaugural electric vehicle in 2019: the Taycan. Positioned as a direct competitor to the Tesla Model S, the Taycan represents Porsche's foray into the realm of electric driving. With its four-door sports sedan design, the Taycan mirrors the size of the iconic Porsche Panamera.
The Taycan uses the same EV-dedicated underpinnings as the Audi e-tron GT, with several variants to choose from. The entry-level, rear-wheel drive Taycan and mid-range, four-wheel-drive Taycan 4S both offer a choice of 71kWh or 84kWh (usable) batteries, with claimed maximum ranges of between about 270 and 320 miles depending on the exact specification.
