Previously known as the Mission E, the Porsche Taycan takes the next step towards the future. The Taycan is an all-electric sports car that defines our vision of e-mobility. Series production of the first purely electric Porsche is set to begin in 2019. The all-electric sports car will have a range of over 300 miles, produce over 600 horsepower, and accelerate from 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds. True sports car performance - particularly in a four-door sports sedan - naturally requires more than just power; it also requires a lightweight concept with optimal weight distribution and a low center of gravity. The underbody battery, based on the latest lithium-ion technology, extends the full length between front and rear axles. The weight is thus distributed equally along the wheelbase, assuring optimal balance. Moreover, the center of gravity of the entire vehicle is extremely low. Both considerably boost performance and the feeling of a true sports car. In addition to the performance, the Taycan sets the stage for tomorrow with its design and technology, providing answers to the question of the sports car of the future.

Porsche Taycan Design

Compact electric motors, no combustion engine, no exhaust system, no transmission tunnel. The Taycan explores new limits. With a harmonious combination of typical Porsche shapes with aerodynamics inspired by motor sports, the Taycan results in a flow-through body, totally geared towards performance. More design features include, the fast roofline combined with the side window line in Porsche style, and counter-opening doors providing an unimpaired view of a monocoque-like structure allowing easy entry.

Porsche Taycan Exterior

Where to begin? How about with the exterior mirrors, without mirrors. The virtual exterior mirrors are eye-catchers in the truest sense of the word: images from these cameras are reflected in the lower windshield corners. In this way the driver has a better view of the images as well as the surrounding area. Additionally, augmented safety information can be actively displayed here.

Porsche Taycan Interior Technology

The driver's display is curved, inclined, detached and freely programmable. It features five round instruments - distinctively Porsche, yet virtually displayed in OLED technology. They are assigned to the driver-relevant function categories Porsche Connect, Performance, Drive, Energy and Sport Chrono. The menu navigation is controlled by eye tracking - in line with our operating philosophy of having instant access to essential functions. The display follows the sitting position and posture of the driver. As you move your position higher or lower, or lean to the side, the 3D representation of the instruments moves with you. Everything works directly, quickly and intuitively.

The Front

The front, with its extremely flat hood section, clearly shows the familial ties to the Porsche 918 Spyder super sports car. A stylistic and technical highlight of the front is the Matrix LED headlight units with integrated sensors for the assistance systems. Also in the front, the Taycan stands on large wheels: 21-inch up front and 22-inch in the rear. The wide tires rest on very light aero rims. This allows for the high lateral dynamics typical of a Porsche and contributes to the strikingly modern appearance.
