After having offered three models in the Taycan range with the 4S,
Taycan Turbo and Turbo S, Porsche announces the arrival of a 'base'
version, simply called 'Taycan'. His main interest? Bring the price of
the electric sedan below the € 100,000 mark.
While the model has
already sold more than 20,000 copies in its first year on the market,
the arrival of a more accessible model should further boost sales of
Porsche's first all-electric car.

More affordable, but why
Obviously, to create a more economical
model to buy, Porsche had to make some concessions. The new version of
the Taycan is thus devoid of the front engine, allowing it to gain a few
tens of kilos and therefore transforming it into a rear-wheel drive
model.
The battery pack, manufactured by LG, will reach on this
model a total capacity of 79.2 kWh. It will also be possible to opt for
an option offering a capacity increased to 93.4 kWh. While the first
version will allow the Porsche to deliver 326 horsepower, or even 408
horsepower temporarily thanks to the boost function, the 93.4 kWh option
will correspond to 380 horsepower - 476 horsepower with the boost.
In
both cases, the change from 0 to 100 km / h can be achieved in just 5.1
seconds. The 400m will be shot in 13.7 seconds with the 79.2 kWh
battery, 13.5 seconds with the 93.4 kWh battery.

A Taycan for less than € 90,000
The new Porsche Taycan will be
marketed for the modest sum of € 86,254. At this price, the car has 19
”rims, a 79.2 kWh battery and Apple CarPlay. The car is eligible for
various options such as the head-up display or the 22 kW charger, and
can also be personalized online.
Fast charging is still part of
the basic equipment, up to 270 kW for the large battery and 225 kW for
the small battery. In the end, on a terminal compatible with these
powers, the two versions should go from 5 to 80% charge in 22.5 minutes.
An evolution towards fast charging at 350 kW is still announced, the update will be offered as soon as it is ready.
