I read the "Porsche Taikan" feature in the November issue of GENROQ.

Porsche magazine on a tablet device.
The other day, I was at my regular hairdresser's, and the staff told me that they had
Starting this month.Read magazines on your tablet device.We have paper magazines, but with tablets, you can read what you want, as much as you want. We have paper magazines, but with a tablet, you can read what you want, as much as you want, so please try it."
They said.
."Wow, that's convenient.I operated the tablet and looked at what kind of magazines were available, and found that there were several car magazines available.
Some of the magazines had quite a few Porsche-related articles on them.
When reading magazines at a beauty salon, you can usually only see the latest issue, but with a tablet device, you can go back and read back issues, which is very convenient.
In the meantime, I found a feature on Taikan in the November 2019 issue of GENROQ.
I read it quickly and found it quite interesting and entertaining, so I would like to share a little bit from the beginning of the interview with the Taikan R&D staff.
Taikan on Porsche in the future
About Taikan
A wagon-type Taikan Cross Turismo will soon be available.
Taikan is aRepeat 0 to 100 km 20 times.I can do it.The 20th time is only 1 second slower than the first.This is a terrific performance.
Taikan's production plan is 20,000 units per year.Already 31,000 reservations worldwideis in it, andHalf of them are not Porsche users.
The Taikan is the world's first production electric vehicle to adopt the 800V system, but the effectiveness of the system was recognized in the 919 Hybrid, and the technology was applied to the Taikan.
I considered a one-pedal drive.Two pedals are appropriate for Porsche driving.
interpoint (interword separation)PSM can be turned off completely.This requires the driver to control everything, and the only EV that can do that is probably the Taikan.
About Porsche in the future
From now on, Porsche will develop its business with three pillars: engines, PHVs, and EVs.
Next, the Macan will be equipped with a battery. Initially, both EVs and internal combustion engines will be available, withEventually shift to EVsDo.
EVs have some issues such as weight and charging, but the technology is evolving, and we will consider the timing of EVs in full-fledged sports cars in the future.
No decision has been made about the 911, but if there is an EV version, it will probably be the last.Hybrids are the first step.will be.
The important thing is that "Can you perform like a Porsche?If this becomes possible, EVs may be possible.
The engine, however, is not going away.
I want to experience Taikan.
Other details such as the chassis, battery, and interior of the Taikan were featured in great detail, making it a very worthwhile read.
After various evolutions, from air-cooled to water-cooled, from NA to turbo, the fully EV Taikan is now ready for the world to see. We are very much looking forward to the day when we can test drive it to see how it drives and how it feels.

Hello Mina!
The magazine-reading app is convenient and convenient.
I saw it too, Genroku.
Even though it is an EV, I am sure it is a car that feels like a Porsche, etc.
It raises interest and anticipation.
I remember well the 20 0 to 100 km descents.
I was amazed at the engines that could not do it.
Porsche is all about "running, turning, stopping, and running again.
I sense a high performance that does not appear in the catalog values.
And the 992 had videos and images of it being tested on snowy roads before it was announced.
All models, including the Macan, are tested in the Nurburgring, right?
High aspirations and these grueling tests are repeated and
Will we find performance that cannot be measured by catalog values?
In addition, Genroku also offers
It was also noted that "electric power is best."
The "air-cooled, water-cooled or electric" discussion may not be far off.
...I forgot about the hybrids.
I want to experience Taikan."
I gushed...lol
Tetsu.
>Even though it is an EV, I am sure it is a car that feels like a Porsche, etc.
>I am curious and hopeful.
It really is.
It will be very interesting to see how much Porsche-ism is embodied in this electric car.
And as you say, Porsche has a lot to offer in areas that are not included in the catalog values.
It's a car that gives you a sense of soul and performance.
You have to ride it to understand it. Conversely, if you ride it, even if you are an amateur, you will definitely understand its greatness.
How will cars evolve in the future?
And I am very much looking forward to seeing how engine cars will be discussed.
>"I want to experience Taikan."
>I'm gushing.
Secretly, I was thinking that Porsche Japan might hold a test drive fair called "Experience the Taikan" or something like that.
I am thinking about it these days (laughs).
