I had only seen the Taycan in the pictures, much like so many other electric cars that hit the interwebs every day. But when Porsche makes one, you have got to take notice. Because you see, it is one of the few brands that doesn’t need to market driving pleasure - it is simply synonymous with it. So when they do an electric, you are bound to be intrigued to find out if it still feels like a Porsche. We have had such questions in the past too when they did a four-door coupe or built a tall-riding SUV, and while everything can’t be a sportscar, they have managed to set themselves apart from the rest with other such body styles too. So does the Taycan do it too as the world shifts to batteries and motors?
