Porsche has announced the official new name of the Porsche Mission E, the car will launch as the Porsche Taycan.
The Porsche Taycan is launching in 2019 and it is Porsche’s new electric sports car. It will be powered by two electric motors that will give the car around 600 horsepower. This impressive powertrain will enable the Taycan to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 3.5 seconds, making it a formidable competitor in the electric vehicle market.
Design and Performance
The name Taycan can be roughly translated as “lively young horse”, referencing the imagery at the heart of the Porsche crest, which has featured a leaping steed since 1952. “Our new electric sports car is strong and dependable; it’s a vehicle that can consistently cover long distances and that epitomizes freedom,” explains Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG. The oriental name also signifies the launch of the first electric sports car with the soul of a Porsche. Porsche announced the name for its first purely electric series as part of the “70 years of sports cars” ceremony.
The Taycan is expected to have a range of over 300 miles on a single charge, thanks to its advanced battery technology. Porsche has also invested heavily in fast-charging infrastructure, allowing the Taycan to recharge up to 80% of its battery in just 15 minutes using a high-power charging network. This makes it not only a powerful sports car but also a practical option for long-distance travel.
Technological Innovations
In addition to its impressive performance specs, the Taycan will feature a host of cutting-edge technologies. The car will come equipped with an advanced infotainment system, featuring a large touchscreen display and support for over-the-air updates. This ensures that the vehicle’s software can be continuously improved and updated, providing drivers with the latest features and enhancements.
The Taycan will also include a range of driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automated parking. These features will enhance the driving experience, making it safer and more convenient for drivers.
Porsche has also focused on sustainability in the production of the Taycan. The car will be manufactured in a carbon-neutral facility, and Porsche is committed to using renewable energy sources throughout the production process. This aligns with the company’s broader goal of reducing its environmental impact and promoting sustainable mobility solutions.
