I think that may be the first electric car (maintstream) that I've found interesting. Looks great and some impressive numbers. Curious on the price. I'd have one over a Tesla every day of the week and I suspect I'm not the only one!
Pricing is on the Porsche website. £116000 for the Turbo and £139000 for the Turbo S.
Gulp.

Figures I've heard from the dealer are:Turbo S - £160k
Turbo - £125k
4S - £95k
2wd model - £80k ish
All base price before (significant) option prices
Similar pricing to the 911 throughout the range.
Now of course the Porsche will be better, but that's some premium, even ignoring Porsche options to be added. I am generally talking performance here, the Tesla cannot get near the Porsche in other aspects.
These fast EV's are crazy fast - the £50k Tesla will match a Mclaren F1 to 60mph, and it sounds like the Porsche "Turbo" will destroy that. Madness.
By calling it a Turbo it seems as though Porsche aren't feeling that great about embracing full electric cars either then.
I always moan about the weight of cars and this one weighs almost as much as the Titanic. I do wonder if electric cars will get any lighter in the future though.

Sounds great. Love how 0-60 seems to be loosing it's relevance with Porsche now quoting 0-124 speed times, in the same way Vauxhall (I think it was them) are promoting 0-30mph! Quite the contrast.
Shame that manufacturers are going down different plug compatability for charging. This is never a successful long term thing in the eyes of the punter. This needs standardising across the industry - and fast.
Finally, lets loose the silly Turbo monicker when it clearly doesn't have one. I'd like to offer up "MegaThrust" as a suitable alternative. No charge, Porsche.
The Porsche Taycan MegaThrust. A game changer indeed.
