The first European answer to Tesla Model S is finally here, here is the Porsche Taycan, a four-door sports car with an electric motor of up to 761 hp through overboost, in addition to 1,050 Nm of torque.
Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, who opened the world premiere in Berlin, said: The Taycan car is a link between our past and our future, and adds new lines to our brand’s success story - a brand that has always impressed many from all over the world. The world has dazzled them for 70 years. And Blume added: And now Porsche is witnessing the beginning of a new era for it.
The saloon four-door sports car may be a unique model and provides the standard Porsche performance with integrated communications suitable for daily use. At the same time, the highly advanced production methods and equipment of the Taycan car set new standards for sustainability and digital technologies.
Michael Steiner, the member of the Porsche AG Board of Research and Development, commented: We promised to introduce a Porsche worthy of the era of electric cars, an amazing sports car, not only in terms of the technologies used and the dynamics of driving, but also arouse enthusiasm for many people all over the world, such as Its former legendary style. Today we keep this promise.
The models will be the first models to be introduced in the new category. The two models are equipped with the latest technology that comes within the Porsche electric performance system, and they are among the most powerful models in the current product range of the sports car manufacturer.
The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo will be the first model to be added to the electric models category. It is reported that by 2022, Porsche will have invested more than 6 billion euros in electric cars.
A car that combines efficiency and performance
The top-class turbo S in the Taycan generates more superior power up to 761 hp (560 kW) with launch control technology, while the Taycan turbo version generates up to 680 hp (500 kW).
TAYCAN Turbo S accelerates from sleep to 100 km / h in 2 seconds, while TAYCAN Turbo S accelerates from sleep to 100 km / h in 2 seconds. But upon testing, this car (Turbo S) proved that it is able to reach a speed of 100 km per hour in 2.5 seconds.
The Turbo S is distinguished by its ability to travel a distance of 412 km per shipment, while the Taycan Turbo per vehicle carries a distance of 450 km (according to the international standard standards for light cars in both cases). The top speed of two SUVs is 260 km / h.
The Taycan is the first car with an 800-volt system instead of the usual 400-volt system in electric cars, giving Taycan drivers a special advantage on the road; in five minutes, the battery can be recharged with enough energy to travel 100 kilometers Kilometers (according to the International Standard Light Car Test) using direct current from a high-power charging network.
The battery takes 22.5 minutes to reach 5 to 80 percent charging in ideal charging conditions, and the maximum charging capacity reaches 270 kW. Total capacity of the Porsche battery is 93.4 kWh. Taycan drivers can charge their cars up to 11 kW ac in their homes.
Pure exterior design with a distinctive footprint of Porsche design
Thanks to its simple, traditional design, the Taycan is the beginning of a new era. At the same time, the car maintains the imprint of Porsche's unmistakable designs.
From the front, the car looks broad and flat with wings with a high profile. The car derives its overall shape from its sporty sliding roof design to the rear end of the car.
The sculpted side parts are also a hallmark of the car's design. The sleek exterior of the interior, the rear C-pillar and the distinctive wing lines that clearly accentuate the rear of the car are all typical features of the Porsche brand.
The exterior design also includes innovative elements such as the Porsche logo glass, which is integrated into the taillamp. With a drag coefficient value of 0.22, the simple optimized aerodynamic shape reduces energy consumption, thereby increasing the vehicle's travel time per charge.
Unique cabin design with a bunch of large screens
The driving corner is a new move, with its clear structure and an all-new design. The free-standing curved instrument panel represents the highest point on the instrument panel, focusing entirely on the driver.
The 10.9-inch infotainment system display has been combined with the passenger seat display as an optional single-line installation to look more like a black glass panel.
All user interfaces in the Taycan car have been redesigned. The number of traditional controls such as keys and buttons has also been greatly reduced, and has been replaced by intuitive and easy-to-use intelligent control systems - using touch operation or voice control function, which response to Hey Porsche.
The Taycan is the first Porsche to have a leather-free interior; all cabin equipment is made from innovative recycled materials, highlighting the concept of sustainability on which the electric car is based.
The foot space - empty spaces in the legroom at the rear of the vehicle - allows passengers in the back to sit comfortably and ensures the low height of the car typical of sports cars. The vehicle is out there in two automobile trunk s: the front luggage compartment capacity is 81 liters, while the rear cargo compartment volume is 366 liters.
Two innovative propulsion engines and two-speed transmission
The two Taycan turbo and two turbo S cars come with two highly efficient electric motors, one on the front axle and the other on the rear axle, giving the car all-wheel drive. The high-performance, highly efficient synchronous machines enhance the vehicle's single charge distance and continuous driving power.
The electric motor, transmission and impulse-controlled transformer are all integrated into the integrated drive unit. These units feature the highest energy density (kilowatts per liter of vehicle space) among all-electric motors available on the market today. The two electric motors also have a special feature: the common part of the motor is strongly wrapped.
This technology allows an increase in the copper element in the static part of the engine, which increases the capacity and torque while maintaining the size of the components as they are. One of Porsche's innovations, the two-speed transmission installed on the rear axle; the first speed gives the car great acceleration power from the sleep state, while the second speed with long gear transmission ensures high efficiency and low energy consumption. This also applies to very high speeds.
Centralized network management for chassis control systems
Porsche uses a central control system to control the chassis control systems for the Taycan vehicle; the integrated Porsche 4D chassis control system analyzes and synchronizes all chassis control systems in real-time.
Chassis control systems include an adaptive three-chamber air suspension system, which includes an electronic damping control within the active Porsche suspension management system, and an electromechanical rotational stability control system within the Porsche Sport dynamic chassis control system, which includes the Porsche Plus torque guidance system.
The four-wheel-drive control system with two electric motors and the power feedback system are unique advantages, as they exceed potential return energy. Driving tests have proven that, on daily use, the two electric motors perform about 90% of the braking - without activating the hydraulic wheel brakes.
The range of different driving styles in Taycan is no different from the basic concept of the Porsche series, but is backed by special settings that promote the optimal use of pure electric propulsion. The car is available in four driving modes: Range, Normal, Sport and Sport Plus. In addition, individual systems can be added as needed in the Individual driving style.
World premiere on three different continents simultaneously
The world premiere of the Porsche Taikan was held at the same time in North America, China and Europe and in locations symbolizing a form of sustainable energy management. In North America, the parade was held at Niagara Falls, which is located on the border between the American state of New York and the Canadian province of Ontario, and symbolizes water power; the solar power station in New Hardenburg, near Berlin, symbolizes solar energy; Pingtan, about 15 kilometers from the Chinese city of Fuzhou in Fujian Province, to wind power.
Availability and prices of Taycan models in Porsche Middle East and Africa will be announced in the first half of 2020.
Taycan Turbo S: combined power consumption rate of 26.9 kWh / 100 km; CO2 emissions rate is zero g / 100 km
Taycan turbo: combined power consumption rate of 0.20 kWh / 100km; CO2 emissions rate is 0g / 100km
The values of fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions were calculated according to the global standardized test standards for light cars.
