In 2019, Porsche began production of the all-electric Porsche Taycan, and three years later, the Stuttgart-based company announced that it had produced 100,000 units of this model. The honor of being the 100,000th example went to the Neptune Blue Taycan Turbo S ordered by a UK customer.

This year may not be the most successful when it comes to demand for the electric Porsche Taycan as deliveries are down 12 percent compared to the previous year. The same problem affected most other companies. This could be due to problems with the delay in the delivery of parts, which led to a longer waiting list.

“We are very pleased to have reached this milestone in production history so quickly – despite the recent challenges posed by the semiconductor shortage and the volatile Covid situation. With the Taycan, we have made a decidedly successful start in the electric age,” says Kevin Giek, Vice President of the Taycan Model Line.

2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S is the king of the Nürburgring. It is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 750 hp (560 kW) and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 161 mph (260 km/h). The new fastest lap time among electric production cars is 2 seconds faster than the Tesla Model S Plaid, 7 minutes and 33 seconds.

Also, Porsche talked about Taycan cars with more than 100,000 kilometers on the odometer, giving several examples. French entrepreneur Jean-Hubert Revolon bought a Taycan 4S in August 2020 and since then it has covered 188,119 kilometers. Guillaume Takvorian, a pharmacist from Marseille, owns a Taycan 4S with which he has covered 113,977 kilometers since June 2020. Porsche employee Markus Kreutel covered 134,911 kilometers with the Taycan Turbo from February 2021 to August 2022. The journalists of the German magazine Auto Bild, who covered 100,000 kilometers in the endurance test with the Taycan 4S since October 17, 2020, and the journalists of the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport recently borrowed the Taycan Cross Turismo 4, with which they intend to cover 100,000 kilometers in two years.

Anyway, this is a great result for Porsche.
