almost 1000 hp and 678 km of autonomy

Being a car enthusiast, I never thought that I would write a few lines about the launch Porsche And I would rate its new autonomy (electric) and power equally.. The world is changing, as evidenced by almost 150,000 Porsche Taycans sold. What for many was an insult to the history of the company, for the most advanced represents the true strength of a brand that knows how to develop with the times. For this reason, an update was necessary which, in addition to small aesthetic changes, will bring with it a greater optimization of its powertrain and a range of autonomy unimaginable four years ago.

At the design level, all models in the Taycan range (Berlin, sports tourism and cross-tourism) turn on the new front bumper. The optical groups are already connected to the side air intake, which in the lower unit is made independent, but retains the light signature formed by four clearly defined spotlights. There are also changes to the wheel design and updated color palette.

However, inside only improves technological support for access levels with ambient lighting, rear camera and heated seats, but the most exclusive models retain the same four-screen configuration. Certainly, air suspension and active chassis are standardcommitment to sportiness and driving experience in pure Porsche style.

The experience gained after 3.6 million kilometers of driving allows them to optimize each kWh of the battery as much as possible. We still don’t know the total power of the main one, but it turned out that second battery belonging Performance Plus increases to 105 kWh (previously 93 kWh). They also talk about approved range from 597 to 678 kilometersA 35% more compared to the current Taycan model.

To achieve this goal, the software has been redesigned to provide 30% more energy recovered, while a new heat pump has been installed and thermal management has been improved. Additionally, its 800V housing now accepts loads up to 320 kWwhich come from From 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes despite the increase in battery capacity. In short: more autonomy, less waiting time and… More power?

Yes, since Porsche can’t be content with making a more practical and capable electric car, it also needs to be sportier at every turn. Its mechanical range will still be Taycan, Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo Swith the future GTS on my way. The forces will be there 490 hp available model To amazing 952 hp (700 kW) belonging Taycan Turbo S, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.4 seconds..

The Stuttgart team is always ahead and beat write down like an electric car fastest Nürburgring. Still in prototype version new Porsche Taycan achieved a result of 7:07.550, 26 seconds less than the 2022 model and 18 seconds faster than the current record achieved by the 1,020 hp Model S Plaid.

As expected, prices are also rising. from 105,682 euros for the base Taycan, which can reach 218 603 Euro in T versionikan turbo s cross turismo.
