After long testing and covering more than 3.5 million kilometers, the new Porsche Taycan will soon arrive on the market. Although it is a new generation, Porsche says that it can also be seen as a new model.
The car passed different types of tests from the big minus and the ice of the north to the scorching deserts. The best engineers of the company worked on the project, pushing the test specimens to the limits of endurance, so Porsche left nothing to chance. The same engineers were in charge of the electrically powered Rolls-Royce Specter, which covered over 2 million kilometers during testing under similar conditions.
“The intensity and comprehensiveness of the relentless testing that the test prototypes of the redesigned Taycan had to go through was no different from the work we do when developing a next-generation model, and the result will be a Taycan that is improved in every segment,” said Kevin Giek, Vice President Model Line. Taycan.
In addition to the Taycan, on January 25, Porsche will present the fully electric Macan, which will be powered by two electric motors with a total power of more than 603 hp (450 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. It will be equipped with a 100 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and will have AWD. Thanks to the fast charger, the battery will be charged to 80 percent in just 22 minutes. When it comes to power distribution, it is known that 48 percent of the power will go to the front and 52 percent to the rear axle. Porsche will also offer a less powerful version with a single electric motor located in the rear and will have RWD.
