Porsche Taycan with the new TechArt body kit

German tuner TechArt has introduced a new body kit for the EV Porsche Taycan. It contains carbon fiber components in glossy black or a color of your choice.

The car uses the same powertrain as the base Taycan. For example, the Taycan 4S is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 435 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. The engines are centrally mounted on the front and rear axles. It reaches 62 mph in 4 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km / h). The 93.4 kWh Lithium-ion battery produces enough juice to cover a range of 233 miles (375 km).

At the front of the vehicle are air curtains, a front splitter and a central intake, all made of carbon fiber. At the rear, there is a multi-part carbon fiber diffuser frame and a sports spoiler that shows that it is not a basic Porsche Taycan.

The interior is done in a sporty spirit. The seats are upholstered in perforated black leather and jet-black Alcantara. Contrasting green elements and embroidered TECHART logotype can be found on the seats, dashboard and door trims.

The car uses forged aluminum Formula VI 10.0 x 22-inch (front) and 11.5 x 22-inch (rear) wheels.
