Performance
Porsche wanted to create an electric sports car beyond providing speed but handles and feels, creating the enjoyable drive people know and love. The battery is based on an 800-volt technology instead of the usual 400 volts, providing improved charging and drive performance backed by an enhanced cooling system to supply energy optimally in any driving situation.

The two engines equipped to power the Taycan Turbo has an impressive acceleration from 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds with 750 hp with the overboost power with Launch Control engaged. The standing start performance is on par with some of the fastest sports cars out there.
Interior and Design
Virtually all buttons have been replaced with digital touch screens creating a cohesive and tidy interior with up to four intuitive interactive displays. The head-up display on the dash projects real-time driving information directly in the driver's eye line to increase safety by eliminating the need to remove your eyes from the road.
The interior is distinctly Porsche, with a mix of sporty, minimalist features encased in an elegant and luxurious cabin. The ambient lighting allows you to choose your favorite color to add to the atmosphere. The rear seats fold down to add to the cargo area giving you ample space to run errands around town.
