This year, Porsche is celebrating 75 years since its foundation, and on that occasion, Porsche embarked on a unique challenge, i.e. the journey of an electric car from Thailand to Singapore. For this 1,845 kilometer mission, the German automaker chose the Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo.

The journey took 29 hours and 15 minutes, which is the record for the fastest journey in an electric car from Thailand to Singapore, while following the speed limit. The only stop was when it was necessary to charge the battery, which was 25 minutes. Thanks to recent upgrades, the charging time has been reduced by almost 50 percent.

At the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show Porsche presented the Taycan as Porsche’s first series production electric car, which was offered in several variants at different performance levels. Since then, 100,000 examples of this car have been produced, and the honor of being the 100,000th example went to the Neptune Blue Taycan Turbo S ordered by a UK customer.

Porsche Taycan Turbo S 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).
