The Porsche Taycan is a battery electric luxury sports sedan and shooting brake car produced by German automobile manufacturer Porsche. The concept version of the Taycan named the Porsche Mission E, debuted at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.{{Cite web|url=http://www.porsche.com/microsite/mission-e/international.aspx|title=Tribute to tomorrow. Porsche Concept Study Mission E. - Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG}} Four years later, the production Taycan was revealed at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show.{{Cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28899036/2020-porsche-taycan-photos-info/|title=2020 Porsche Taycan Electric Sports Saloon Is the First Real Threat to Tesla|work=Car and Driver|last=Vanderwerp|first=Dave|date=4 September 2019|access-date=4 September 2019}} As Porsche's first series production electric car, it is sold in several variants at different performance levels, and may spawn further derivatives in future models.{{cite web| url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/porsche-mission-e-due-level-4-autonomy-and-15min-fast-charging |website=autocar.co.uk |title=Porsche Mission E due with Level 4 autonomy and 15min fast-charging |access-date= 28 March 2018}} It is built on the J1 electric car platform shared with the similarly shaped Audi e-tron GT.

Design

The exterior styling, by former Porsche Exterior Designer Mitja Borkert, is strongly influenced by the Mission E concept car, retaining most of its design elements except the suicide doors and the deleted B pillars. Design features of the Taycan include a retractable rear spoiler and retractable door handles. Taking advantage of its drivetrain layout, the Taycan combines the short-nosed front proportions of traditional Porsche models with the stretched proportions of modern front-engine models towards the rear, providing design links to other Porsche models. The front features four-point LED daytime running lamps. At the rear, the car has a short notchback-style boot lid, housing a full-width light band serving as taillights and turn signals and providing access to the rear boot. Another compartment is located under the bonnet, with a claimed capacity of nearly 100 litres. The Taycan Turbo and Turbo S models include carbon fibre trim and 20-inch wheels.{{Cn|date=January 2025}}

The Taycan's interior features Porsche's first fully digital instrumentation, with up to four digital displays, including a curved, free-standing {{cvt|16.8|in|disp=flip}} configurable driver's display. A {{cvt|10.9|in|disp=flip}} screen central to the dashboard is the car's infotainment center. An optional dashboard screen above the glovebox allows the front passenger to customise the infotainment system. On the centre console, a {{cvt|8.4|in|disp=flip}} portrait-oriented, touchpad-controlled screen shows the powertrain status. In contrast with the all-digital layout, the dashboard features the analog Porsche clock at its top.{{Cite web |date=2024-03-11 |title=The interior design: Digital, simple, sustainable |url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/en_US/products/taycan/interior-design-18552.html |access-date=2024-06-07 |website=Porsche Newsroom |language=en-us}}

Shooting brake / wagon versions

= Taycan Cross Turismo =

The Taycan Cross Turismo is a lifted shooting brake/wagon version of the Taycan with additional body cladding, rugged black plastic trim, and other crossover-like features, including an off-road Design package and 'Gravel' drive mode. The luggage compartment holds up to {{cvt|446|L|ft3}}, compared to the {{cvt|407|L|ft3}} capacity of the saloon. With the rear seats folded, up to {{cvt|1212|L|ft3}} of cargo space is available on the Sport/Cross Turismo.{{cite press release |url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2022/products/porsche-taycan-sport-turismo-premiere-27075.html |title=The new Taycan Sport Turismo: a practical all-rounder with on-road dynamics |date=19 January 2022 |publisher=Porsche Newsroom |access-date=21 March 2022}}

Specifications

=Chassis=

The Taycan's body is mainly steel and aluminium joined by different bonding techniques. The body's B pillars, side roof frame and seat cross member are made from hot-formed steel, while the bulkhead cross member is made from boron steel to improve safety. The shock absorber mounts, axle mounts and rear side members are forged aluminum; and all body panels, except the front and rear bumpers, are also made from aluminum to reduce weight. 37% of the car is made of aluminium.{{cite web |title=The body: Intelligent mix of materials for maximum strength|url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/products/taycan/body-18553.html |website=Porsche Newsroom |date=9 April 2019 |language=en}}

=Powertrain=

The Taycan uses a new battery-electric all-wheel-drive drivetrain with a permanent-magnet synchronous motor on each axle. At the front, power is sent to the wheels through a single-speed gearbox (8.05:1 gear ratio); and at the rear, through a two-speed transmission and a limited slip differential. The gearbox has a short planetary first gear (16:1) providing maximum acceleration, and a long-ratio second gear (8.05:1) delivering top speed and efficiency.{{cite web |last1=Tracy |first1=David |title=An Extremely Detailed Look At The Porsche Taycan's Engineering Designed To Take On Tesla |url=https://jalopnik.com/an-extremely-detailed-look-at-the-porsche-taycans-engin-1837802533 |website=Jalopnik |language=en-us |date=6 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191230023724/https://jalopnik.com/an-extremely-detailed-look-at-the-porsche-taycans-engin-1837802533 |archive-date=30 December 2019 |url-status=live}}

Power comes from a 93 kWh {{cvt|1389|lbs|kg|order=flip}} lithium-ion battery pack that doubles as a structural chassis component and keeps the center of gravity low. To increase rear-seat legroom, recesses called "foot garages" have been incorporated into the battery pack. The 723-volt pack (835 volt full, 610 volt empty) has 33 modules with 12 LG Chem pouch cells each, for 396 cells in total.{{cite web |title=The battery: Sophisticated thermal management, 800-volt system voltage |url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/products/taycan/battery-18557.html |website=Porsche Newsroom |date=9 April 2019 |language=en}} This battery is branded "Performance Battery Plus" (PB+). Porsche also offers a battery with a smaller capacity of 79.2 kWh (gross), branded "Performance Battery" (PB), for the Taycan and Taycan 4S, which reduces total weight by approximately {{cvt|76|kg}}. PB uses 28 of the same 12-cell modules (336 cells total) as PB+, and operates with a voltage range of 520 to 720 V.{{cite web |url=https://media.porsche.com/mediakit/taycan/en/porsche-taycan/die-batterie |title=The Battery |publisher=Porsche Media |access-date=11 March 2024}}

At launch, the highest-output powertrains (Turbo and Turbo S) were available, distinguished by the larger inverter on the Turbo S. Later, the 4S powertrain was made available; output was reduced by switching to a less powerful rear motor, but the front motor was the same on all three (4S, Turbo, and Turbo S).{{cite news |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a30176492/2020-porsche-taycan-4s-drive/ |title=2020 Porsche Taycan 4S Is More Sensible yet Still Damn Good |author=Capparella, Joey |date=December 10, 2019 |work=Car and Driver |access-date=19 April 2022}} A base model, which dropped the front motor and was fitted with the smaller 79.2 kW-hr PB, was introduced in early 2021.{{cite press release |url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2021/products/porsche-taycan-new-entry-level-model-rear-wheel-drive-two-sizes-of-battery-23428.html |title=Porsche extends the Taycan model range |date=January 20, 2021 |publisher=Porsche AG |access-date=19 April 2022}}{{cite news |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a35256175/2021-porsche-taycan-base-model-announced/ |title=2021 Porsche Taycan's New RWD Base Model Is Way Cheaper |author=Hoffman, Connor |date=January 19, 2021 |work=Car and Driver |access-date=19 April 2022}} When the Cross Turismo body was introduced in March 2021, the base model was designated 4, which used the larger battery and two-motor all-wheel drive, but with outputs comparable to the rear-motor Taycan.{{cite press release |url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2021/products/porsche-taycan-cross-turismo-first-electric-cross-utility-vehicle-world-premiere-livestream-23784.html |title=World premiere of the Cross Turismo: the all-rounder among electric sports cars |date=March 4, 2021 |publisher=Porsche AG |access-date=19 April 2022}} As an option, the regular Taycan was fitted with the larger 93 kW-hr PB+ in late 2021 and a single-motor variant of the 4 Cross Turismo powertrain.{{cite news |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a37853137/2021-porsche-taycan-pbp-by-the-numbers/ |title=Tested: 2021 Porsche Taycan Performance Battery Plus Is a Base Hit |author=Quiroga, Tony |date=October 8, 2021 |work=Car and Driver |access-date=19 April 2022}} The GTS powertrain was announced alongside the Sport Turismo body in November 2021; the GTS uses the larger battery and a more powerful set of motors to fill the gap between the 4S and the Turbo.{{cite press release |url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/en_US/2021/products/porsche-taycan-gts-taycan-gts-sport-turismo-la-auto-show-26469.html |title=2022 Porsche Taycan GTS Sedan and Taycan GTS Sport Turismo |date=November 16, 2021 |publisher=Porsche Cars North America |access-date=19 April 2022}}{{cite news |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a38381614/2022-porsche-taycan-gts-drive/ |title=2022 Porsche Taycan GTS Looks Fierce, Has Performance to Match |author=Edmunds, Dan |date=November 30, 2021 |work=Car and Driver |access-date=19 April 2022}} The 4S Sport Turismo is fitted with the smaller battery as standard, but the larger battery is an option.{{cite press release |url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2022/products/porsche-taycan-sport-turismo-premiere-27075.html |title=The new Taycan Sport Turismo: a practical all-rounder with on-road dynamics |date=January 19, 2022 |publisher=Porsche AG |access-date=19 April 2022}}

A mid-cycle refresh was unveiled in February 2024, for the 2025 model year. Porsche introduced an improved battery chemistry, increasing power density and overall capacity to 89 kW-hr (PB) and 105 kW-hr (PB+). In addition, the rear traction motor from the Macan BEV was fitted, which is more powerful, more efficient, and weighs less than the prior unit. The maximum regenerative braking power has been increased from 290 to 400 kW, and the maximum charging rate using a DC charger has increased from 270 to 320 kW.{{cite news |url=https://www.wardsauto.com/vehicles/porsche-reveals-upgraded-taycan-bev-939-hp |title=Porsche Reveals Upgraded Taycan BEV With Up to 939 hp |first=Greg |last=Kable |date=February 8, 2024 |work=Wards Auto |access-date=11 March 2024}} In March 2024, the Turbo GT powertrain was introduced, which uses the same front motor as the Turbo and Turbo S, with an upgraded rear motor which has a maximum current of 900 A (compared to 600 A for the Turbo/S) for a maximum combined peak output of {{cvt|760|kW|hp PS}} using Launch Control, {{cvt|580|kW|hp PS}} continuous.{{cite news |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a60149482/porsche-taycan-turbo-gt-revealed-record-setting-lap/ |title=Porsche Introduces Taycan Turbo GT with a Record-Setting Lap at Laguna Seca |first=Elana |last=Scherr |date=March 11, 2024 |work=Car and Driver |access-date=11 March 2024}}{{cite press release |url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2024/products/porsche-the-new-taycan-turbo-gt-35479.html |title=Most powerful series-production Porsche of all time sets record lap times at Laguna Seca and the Nürburgring |date=March 11, 2024 |publisher=Porsche AG |access-date=11 March 2024}}

The EPA lists the Taycan 4S' range at {{cvt|203|mi}} with a consumption of {{cvt|69|mpge|kWh/100mi|0}}.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=June 1, 2020|title=2020 Porsche Taycan Prices, Reviews, and Pictures {{!}} Edmunds|url=https://www.edmunds.com/porsche/taycan/|access-date=|website=Edmunds.com}}{{cite web |url=https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=42590 |title=2020 Porsche Taycan 4S Perf Battery Plus |publisher=United States Environmental Protection Agency |website=fueleconomy.gov |access-date=21 December 2022}} However, the car's range depends on how it is driven and what driving mode is selected.{{Cite web |last=Harley |first=Michael |title=2022 Porsche Taycan: 6 Reasons Why The Standard Taycan Is The Best |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelharley/2022/04/20/2022-porsche-taycan-6-reasons-why-the-standard-taycan-is-the-best/ |access-date=2022-05-18 |website=Forbes |language=en}} There are five driving modes: Sport, Sport Plus, Normal, Range, and Individual. The Range mode maximizes range with the lowest power consumption; and Individual lets the driver customise various settings. Regenerative braking provides up to 265 kW,{{cite web |last1=Dow |first1=Jameson |title=See what's underneath and inside the Porsche Taycan |url=https://ww.electrek.co/2019/12/26/see-whats-underneath-and-inside-the-porsche-taycan/ |website=Electrek |date=26 December 2019}} yielding an acceleration of 0.39 G/-3.83 m/s^2.

Porsche has developed an 800-volt charging system specifically for the Taycan. According to manufacturer estimates, the battery pack can be charged from 5% to 80% in 22.5 minutes in ideal situations, using an 800-volt DC fast charger with {{cvt|270|kW|PS hp|0}} of power. The Taycan is also backward compatible with existing 400-volt stations up to {{cvt|150|kW|PS hp|0}} using an onboard step-up converter that converts the 400-volt system to the car's 800-volt system. Charge times depend on weather conditions and infrastructure. When purchasing a Taycan, owners receive three years free access to the speed-charging infrastructure of IONITY in Europe or Electrify America in the United States, Porsche's joint venture partners.{{Cite web|url=https://www.porsche.com/international/aboutporsche/e-performance/charging-on-the-road/ |title=Porsche Charging options for on the road. - Porsche AG|website=Porsche AG - Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG|language=en-EN|access-date=8 December 2019}}

Unlike other electric vehicles, the Taycan has charging ports on both the driver's and passenger's sides. They cannot both be used simultaneously. For the European, American and other markets which use CCS, AC sources can be connected to either side and DC sources can only be connected to the passenger's side. For the Japanese and Chinese markets which use completely different AC and DC connectors, the driver's side contains the AC charging port and the passenger's side contains the DC charging port. To reduce charge times at both hot and cold temperatures, the battery can be thermally preconditioned using a charging planner. Owners set a departure time in the planner, and the car automatically warms or cools the battery for optimal charging times. A charging dock and mobile charger, supplied with the car for home charging, utilize a 9.6-kW connector that charges the car in 11 hours. An energy manager, which can also be installed in a home's circuit panel, can manage the house's power flow; provide cost-optimising charging using solar power; and provide blackout protection by reducing the charge to the car if household appliances such as fridges or dryers turn on and exceed the panel's power threshold.

Car and Driver completed 15 consecutive quarter-mile runs in both the Taycan Turbo S and the 2020 Tesla Model S "Raven" Performance to evaluate Porsche's claim that their car's performance holds up even as the battery discharges. Porsche's results during the test did not deteriorate significantly, while the Teslas were observed to be considerably worse.[https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a30799498/2020-porsche-taycan-turbo-s-vs-2020-tesla-model-s-performance/ Porsche Taycan Turbo S vs. Tesla Model S Performance: Electric Flattery], Car and Driver, 7 February 2020

The Sport Turismo differs from the Cross Turismo as follows; "with the rear spoiler painted to match the body color and no cladding on the wheel arches. The Sport Turismo has the same silhouette as the Cross Turismo wagon and storage space. But it has the lower ride height of the Taycan sedan, giving it a racier, performance-minded look — and feel.", and as such is treated as a new body type.

The Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo previewed the Taycan Cross Turismo, and was presented at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The design language of the Mission E Cross Turismo more closely resembles the Taycan than the Mission E. It combined the fully electric Mission E J1-platform with a 5-door estate body similar to the Panamera Sport Turismo, raised suspension, and off-road tyres and cladding to form a crossover utility vehicle. Porsche Chief designer Michael Mauer said the concept "shows possibilities of the future lineup."{{cite web| url=https://www.topgear.com/car-news/geneva-motor-show/porsche-reveals-its-mission-e-cross-turismo-concept |website=topgear.com |title=Porsche reveals its Mission E Cross Turismo concept |date=6 March 2018 |access-date= 28 March 2018}} On October 18, 2018, the supervisory board of Porsche AG approved series production of the production-ready Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo.{{cite web |url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/products/porsche-mission-e-cross-turismo-concept-study-taycan-series-production-electric-car-mobility-supervisory-board-300-jobs-zuffenhausen-16274.html |website=newsroom.porsche.com |title=Concept study Mission E Cross Turismo goes into series production - 300 new jobs |date=19 October 2018 |access-date=2019-03-07}}
