Porsche Mission e…now called ‘the Taycan’.

Probably the sexiest car to be launched in 2019!

OK, I admit it, I’m a bit of a Porsche fan but even so I think and hope you’ll agree that the Taycan ne´ Mission-e new all electric car is a bit of a stunner.

“We predict that over 50 percent of Porsche models delivered from 2025 will be electrified,” said the deputy chairman of Porsche recently in a press conference.

That’s quite a big commitment and statement by one of the leaders in the industry.

Porsche plans to invest more than six billion euro in electric cars and their variants by 2022, doubling the expenditure that the company had originally planned. Of the additional three billion euro, some 500 million euro will be used for the development of Taycan and derivatives, around one billion euro for electrification and hybridisation of the existing product range, several hundred million for the expansion of production sites, plus around 700 million euro for new technologies, charging infrastructure and smart mobility. That’s a big commitment in anybodies terms.

A few facts about this beauty …

Two permanently synchronised motors (PSM) with a system output of over 600 hp (440 kW) accelerate the electric sports car to 100 km/h in well under 3.5 sec-onds and to 200 km/h in under twelve seconds. This performance is in addition to a continuous power level that is unprecedented among electric vehicles: Multiple jump starts are possible in succession without loss of performance, and the vehicle’s maximum range is over 500 km.

> 600 hp (440 kW) and 800 V
The components of the Taycan drive system work with this voltage. New terrain, even for the prototype builders.

> 500 km
With a range of over 500 kilometers, the Taycan isn’t just sporty—it’s also practical.

> 600 hp
are packed and ready for action by two permanently excited synchronous motors (PSM).

800 V
is the voltage with which the components of the Taycan’s drive system works.

< 3.5 sec.
is all the Taycan needs to go from 0 to 100 kmh. The enormous torque from the very first rev delivers sporty acceleration.
