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.
