Causing disruption requires action, otherwise the hype is as good as an empty promise. You can claim to build a rocket thruster-powered roadster that’s capable of smashing all land speed records, but if no one gets to buy it, the likes of Bugatti and Koenigsegg will continue to duke it out until another Rimac comes along to challenge the status quo.
The Porsche Taycan is, by all intents and purposes, a disruption. It’s a fully electric four-seater “sedan†that promises to break the conventions of emissions-free motoring, and does so in epic fashion by sliding its way into the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest drift ever performed with an EV. Considering all the awards it has racked up, we don’t doubt that it will blow us away !
Say what you will of the way it looks. To me, the Taycan is incredibly ravishing from head to tail, bearing significant similarities to the Mission E prototype that debuted back in 2015. The styling is futuristic, what with the narrow intake slit, all the aero work, muscular haunches, rakish roof, frameless doors with the pop-up handles, and the exceedingly gorgeous rear end.
Thanks to a large battery pack, the Porsche Taycan can travel around 300 miles on a single charge, which is comparable to a sports car with a full tank of petrol. Admittedly, recharging the Taycan takes longer than refuelling a 911, but rapid charging means an 80 per cent charge is available in just 20 minutes.
The entry-level Taycan has a 79.2kWh battery with a usable capacity of 71.0kWh. This provides a range of 231 to 276 miles. Opting for the 93.4kWh Performance Battery Plus ups the usable capacity to 83.7kWh and increases the range to between 268 and 314 miles.
Go for the more powerful Turbo and the 93.4kWh battery comes as standard, delivering an electric range of between 270 and 315 miles. Finally, the Turbo S features the same 93.4kWh battery and offers a range of between 273 and 291 miles. All of these figures are based on the WLTP standard. What you achieve in the real world will depend on factors such as the weather, accessories used within the car and how hard you drive.
