The updated Taycan has become the most powerful production Porsche (24 photos)
Porsche has updated the Taycan family of electric vehicles, produced since 2019. For the most part, the modernization affected the technical content of the model, namely the power plant.
So, the Taycan has acquired new electric motors. The increase for the basic modification of the electric car was 82 horsepower, and the top-end Taycan Turbo S was immediately added 190 horsepower. The peak output of its power plant is now 952 horsepower. There is, however, one caveat. These 952 powers are only available in certain situations. For example, when starting from a standstill using the launch control system or when activating the Push-2-Pass function, which adds the same 95 “horses” for 10 seconds and is only available for cars with the Sport Chrono package.
The increase in power made it possible to significantly reduce the acceleration time to hundreds. The simplest Taycan will take 4.8 seconds, and the Turbo S will take 2.4 seconds, or 0.6 and 0.4 seconds faster than pre-restyling cars.
The capacity of the optional Performance Battery Plus has increased from 93 to 105 kWh. The more compact battery became 89-kilowatt. It is claimed that the Taycan's charging time from 10 to 80 percent at high-speed stations has decreased from 37 to 18 minutes. And the range of the longest-range version under the WLTP cycle has increased by 175 kilometers and is now 678 kilometers.
The updated Taycan can be visually distinguished by different lighting technology and slightly adjusted bumpers and fenders. At the rear, an illuminated three-dimensional Porsche lettering attracts attention. The interior promises new trim options, as well as an improved interface for the digital instrument panel, both media system screens and a display that controls the climate control system. Adaptive air suspension is now included as standard on all versions, and Porsche Active Ride is available as an option, maintaining a constant body position during braking, accelerating and cornering.
It is known that in the USA the updated Porsche Taycan has risen in price from 7 thousand to 14.7 thousand dollars. Cars will begin to appear at dealers in the summer of 2024.
