The 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo is something completely new from the German automaker. Not only is the Taycan a 4-door sedan (GASP! The humanity!), it’s additionally completely electric! That’s right, the ’20 Porsche Taycan has no gasoline engine! Nevertheless, unlike other pure electric automobiles, the Taycan was not built for optimum efficiency. The all-new Taycan Turbo is 100% a Porsche, meaning power and handling are the hallmarks of this vehicle.

Performance

The heart of the brand-new Porsche Taycan Turbo is the Performance Battery Plus, rated at 93.4 kWh, that is linked to 2 Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors. One motor is attached to the front axle and the 1-speed planetary gear and the other is linked to the rear axle and its 2-speed transmission. You don’t have to understand exactly how it all works but know this, the all-new Porsche Taycan Turbo S has the equivalent of around 750hp and 775 lb-ft of torque. Whoa. It’s also very easy and quick to charge, thanks to the 800-volt electrical system. The majority of electric cars currently sold have a 400-volt system. One benefit of the 800-volt system is that it can use smaller sized, powerful electrical engines. The game-changing feature is the recharge time, under optimum conditions you could charge your Taycan from 5% battery life to 80% in about 20 mins. Fast on the road and quick to recharge, the all-new Taycan does not let you down.

Design

As amazing as the all-electric drivetrain is, the design might be even better. It really is that excellent. The exterior showcases items like active air curtains, four-point LED headlights, automatically extending door handles, panoramic fixed glass roof, and a smooth light strip constructed from glass at the rear of the vehicle. The all-new Taycan looks like a vehicle from the future and the interior design hammers that principle home. Get into the driver’s seat and you’ll observe that almost every mechanical button has been replaced onto a digital touchscreen. The appearance is awesome, particularly when all 4 available touchscreens are on. The 16.8-inch curved screen takes the place of a conventional gauge cluster. A 10.9-inch touchscreen isn’t uncommon, yet an optional 2nd 10.9-inch touchscreen for your front seat traveler is. The 8.4-inch center console screen supplies access to NAV, phone, and battery charge status (among other things). The rear passengers can even get a 5.9-inch touchscreen display if you choose the available 4-Zone Climate control. The ’20 Taycan Turbo is masterpiece.

Tech Highlights

Safety technology is likewise a big part of the Taycan with Porsche’s forward-collision warning system and Brake Assist, Lane-Keeping Assist, Roadway Sign recognition|, and Front and Rear Parking Assist as conventional features. Adaptive Cruise Control, Night Vision Help, and Intersection Assist are simply a few of the upgrades offered. There are numerous fantastic technology features that it is hard to pinpoint our favorite, yet the 800-volt electric system makes it all work so it has to be our choice. The 2020 Taycan Turbo is the new leader in electrical automobile supremacy.
