Porsche Taycan
Model Overview
The Taycan marks Porsche's bold move into the electric vehicle market, building on the company's plug-in hybrid experience. It's no half-baked effort: it starts out with lots of power and adds plenty more in its upper trims. Just like when Porsche began building SUVs, the Taycan is out to prove it can make an electric vehicle with performance that lives up to the brand's long history of sports cars.
