On The Fast Lane
It's hard to navigate on the road less driven, but Porsche is adamant in building an electric future, starting with the Taycan. We have a responsibility to leave a better world for the next generation.
The Porsche Taycan is heavy. It weighs anywhere between 2,100kg and 2,300kg, depending on the model and battery pack you opt for. In contrast, a 911 Carrera comes in about 800kg lighter while a Panamera, which visually resembles the Taycan, is just below the 2-tonne (2,000kg) mark.
I’m not fat-shaming the Taycan. It’s a gorgeous automobile and it’s apparent the designers have put a lot of thought into every centimetre. I’m highlighting the Taycan’s weight because it is surprisingly quick. The standard 4S can reach 100kph in four seconds while the Turbo and Turbo S are even swifter, completing the century sprint in 3.2s and 2.9s respectively.
