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.

The Porsche 911 Hybrid should hit the market in 2023

The famous German car company Porsche is working hard on a hybrid version of its most famous model, which has been hiding behind the number 911 for decades. The car should arrive on the market in 2023.

After the electrified Porsche Taycan is accepted by customers, surpassing the 718 and 992 Series in sales, it is no longer a secret that the 911 will get its hybrid version.

In support of these claims are the facts that when presenting the current generation of the 911 (992), Porsche introduced a platform adapted to accommodate a hybrid system with batteries and an electric motor. The car is supposed to use a 400-volt battery unlike the Porsche Taycan which uses an 800 volt battery, and should be equipped with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, which is also used in the Panamera.

Recently, images leaked showing a test prototype of the 911, on the Nürburgring Nordschleife racetrack, with a yellow sticker required during testing of hybrid models.

The specifications of the hybrid 911 are not known at this time, but some suggest that they should be better than what the 911 Turbo S has to offer.
