When it comes to electric vehicle excitement, it’s hard to find any vehicle that does it better than the Porsche Taycan. Let’s take a look.
If you want to drive green but also would like to enjoy the fun and excitement that comes with the Porsche name, this is the car for you. The Taycan comes in a sedan or wagon, which is a bit of a departure from what we expect from Porsche. These body styles don’t remove the active and fun driving expected of any vehicle from this brand.
Here’s what the Porsche Taycan offers for your driving pleasure.
How much power does this Porsche offer?
The Taycan starts things off with 321 horsepower, which turns up to 402 ponies when the launch control is engaged. This makes it easy for the base models to hit 60 mph in only 5.1 seconds. Moving up to the middle trims, you’ll find 522 horsepower, which increases to 616 horsepower in launch mode. At the top of the range, the Turbo S model provides 750 horsepower and allows this car to rocket to 60 mph in only 2.6 seconds. There’s no slouch in any of these incredible Porsche models.
