Introducing the Porsche Taycan
Taycan represents a step into a new automotive era for Porsche, who have brought life to the forward-thinking all-electric concept seen here. However, Taycan stays true to the origins that rapidly placed Porsche at the forefront of the market: immense driving pleasure and unparalleled emotion.
The design is unmistakable Porsche, with a sleek and powerful silhouette that combines the brand's DNA with a timeless and futuristic set of attributes. In addition, features such as the deploying door handles, 911-derived seats, and panoramic fixed glass roof, all enhance the feeling of serenity.
With scintillating levels of performance having been complemented by visionary technologies, Taycan is today's sports car of tomorrow.
Chassis and Handling
Every effort has been made to ensure Taycan glides down the road with minimal interruption from mother nature. Features, such as the lateral Aircurtains and deploying door handles, have been implemented to optimise aerodynamics, which ultimately translates to greater grip and efficiency.
Underneath, the aluminium double wishbone front axle combines seamlessly with the aluminium multi-link rear axle, which translates to incredible levels of grip when exploring the limits. The materials used also ensure weight is kept to a minimum, enhancing the Taycan's cornering prowess and agility.
6-piston aluminium brake calipers feature on the front of Taycan, with 4-piston aluminium calipers occupying the rear. Combined with the vented brake discs, Taycan offers immense stopping power and remarkable levels of feel through the brake pedal. Opt for Taycan S, and drivers will benefit from Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), as well as brake calipers that have been painted in yellow.
Technology and Safety
Taycan boasts an unmistakable identity that has been enhanced by a number of technological features and assistance systems.
The four-point headlights boast a floating design that distinguishes Taycan from any other vehicle on the road, while the LEDs ensure vision is transparently clear when travelling in challenging conditions.
A 16.8-inch curved digital display sits directly in the driver's line of sight, and is surrounded by control panels with Direct Touch Controls for rapid lighting and chassis alterations.
The central dashboard features a 10.9-inch display, with an 8.4-inch control panel located below it. Through these interactive displays, the driver can control the audio, navigation, media, and telephone. The lower screen can display the battery charge status in addition to the above.
Driver assistance systems include:
- Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
