Porsche Taycan
 
Porsche is going to live stream the unveiling of the electric Porsche Taycan Wednesday the 4th at 9:00am if you have the MyPorsche portal.

I can’t wait!

I’ve got a notification setup on the Porsche YouTube channel to watch.

It does look from where ever you look. Good sign of a fine automobile.

I think the front is ugly as ***. Let's see the unveiling but the headlights look out of place

Not at all, you have a three stage power setting on electric bikes/m bikes, with the mighty turbo setting for the daring. Which means in blighty an electric push bike will get you to an earth moving 15 mph in a mere 10 seconds. I simply can't handle that speed, my Bp will go through the roof and my doctor will thrash my behind. If I tell him that is.

No no it's marketing and I'm guessing it's also to justify the price. This way the price get compared to the price of the Panamera Turbo (which is oddly 2k more expensive) and not to the price of the standard Panamera (which is almost 40% cheaper).

Overall it looks like a decent attempt from Porsche to bring something new to the table and still infused with the brand history. It's not cheap and I'm still hesitant about the design. I'm still waiting for reviews and see how the car can handle heating at more spirited driving.

I'm expecting the car to heavily depreciate very quickly.

It's nice they have made the effort. Pollution free roads is a dear dream.

Inconsistency continues with Porsche. They have several of their turbo charged cars which are not badged as Turbos. :dunno:
