About the Porsche Taycan
Engineered with new technologies developed on the racetrack and on the road, Porsche takes another step towards the future with the Taycan — a new vision of the all-electric sports sedan. As the first purely electric sports car in the brand’s history, the Taycan features a total system voltage of 800V, a combined system output of up to 1,019 horsepower, and a top track speed of up to 190 MPH. Inspired by motorsport aerodynamics, the Taycan features a sleek silhouette to help it slice through the air and remain firmly planted to the road surface. An ingenious underbody battery placement helps the Taycan achieve an optimal center of gravity. Inside the cockpit, drivers will enjoy a fully digital curved display adapted to suit the interior design that’s quintessentially Porsche. Cutting-edge connectivity features help you monitor efficiency, charge, and performance with a simple glance at one of up to three different display screens inside the Porsche Taycan.

What the Critics Say
“The Taycan offers astoundingly quick acceleration, thanks to its electric all-wheel-drive system. It feels planted and agile around turns, yet it still delivers a smooth ride on rough roads. The interior is equally impressive. It’s elegantly styled, library quiet, and bristling with high-tech features. All in all, the Taycan lives up to the hype.” — U.S. News & World Report
“When the road turns into track, however, the Taycan turns into a Porsche. At our test facility for this story, the magnificent Atlanta Motorsports Park, the Taycan proved itself 100 percent worthy of the crest on its hood. — Road and Track

Porsche Taycan Features
Electrifying Performance
The dynamic Porsche Taycan is powered by two permanent magnet synchronous motors and a 105 kWh performance battery plus paired with an advanced two-speed transmission. Total power outputs for the Taycan lineup are up to 402 HP (Taycan / Taycan 4), 429 HP (Taycan Black Edition / Taycan 4 Black Edition), 536 HP (Taycan 4S), 590 HP (Taycan 4S Black Edition), 690 HP (Taycan GTS), 871 HP (Taycan Turbo), 938 HP (Taycan Turbo S), or 1,019 HP (Taycan Turbo GT) using Overboost Power with Launch Control. Taycan Turbo GT models can rocket from 0 to 60 MPH in an astounding 2.1 seconds using Launch Control on their way to a top speed of 190 MPH. Porsche Active Aerodynamics features such as the adaptive rear spoiler and adjustable cool air intakes help enhance both efficiency and performance. Available Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) help slow the tremendous power of the all-electric Porsche Taycan.
Charging Innovations
Since range and charge times are of the utmost importance to electromobility, the Porsche Taycan doubles the standard charging voltage to 800 volts. The end result is shorter charge times and reduced weight through the use of thinner copper wires. You’ll be able to drive more than 300 miles on a single charge. Thanks to a multitude of charging solutions, the Taycan redefines the meaning of all-electric travel and eliminates range anxiety for worry-free driving. In addition to home charging capabilities, you’ll have access to Porsche Turbo Charging at authorized Porsche Centers along with a constantly growing network of Electrify America 800V DC fast charging stations.
Technology & Driver Assistance
Included as standard, Porsche Connect is your link to information and media inside the Porsche Taycan. Simply say “Hey Porsche” and your car will then respond using Porsche Voice Pilot. Porsche Connect helps you to get more out of your daily commute with a collection of features such as the read-aloud function to keep you informed of the latest news all over the world. Cutting-edge driver-assistive technologies available on the Taycan include Porsche InnoDrive including adaptive cruise control, Active Lane Keeping, Traffic Jam Assist, Night Vision Assist, and Surround View. Porsche Entry & Drive allows you to leave your car key in your pocket thanks to its ability to have the encrypted access code stored on the key.
