Taikan World Premiere

Porsche live streamed the world premiere of the Taycan, Porsche's first production 4-door EV sports car, today at 22:00 Japan time on September 4. I watched it on-time, but I am not fluent enough in English to pick up all the information... but I would like to briefly introduce the world premiere.

(A countdown was being made to the time of the live feed.)

World premiere of Taikan will be broadcast simultaneously in three locationsThe first three are in the United States, the second is in China. The first three are a solar power plant in Germany, a hydroelectric power plant by Niagara Falls in Canada, and a wind farm in Fujian Province, China.

About Taikan

The Tycann, which reflects the technology of the 918 Spyder and 919 Hybrid, is aFirst EV sports car ever to be equipped with an 800V systemThe Taikan is a "800V" electric vehicle. Conventional electric vehicles are generally equipped with a 400V system, but the Taikan is equipped with an 800V system, which is twice as much as a 400V system.Consistent high level and high performanceThe number was "1,000,000". Below, we assume the numbers are for the higher-end model, the Taikan Turbo S.

Maximum speed is 260 km/h
0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds, 0-200km in 9.8 seconds
Maximum output is 560kw.(equivalent to 761 hp)
Maximum torque 1050Nm

It is. It weighs over 2 tons. Looking at the numbers alone, one gets the impression that the company is quite aware of Tesla.

Records supporting these figures include.In a test conducted in August at a dedicated course in Nardo, Italy, 3,425 km were covered in 24 hours.The average speed is 215 km/h. The average speed is up to 215 km/h.

In the same month, the team also conducted a time attack at the Nürburgring (North Course) in Germany.Recorded a lap time of 7 minutes and 42 seconds, the fastest for a 4-door EV sports carThe company is doing so.

As for recharging, the car can run 100 km on a 5-minute charge (270 kW).

Taikan Design

Here, we would like to introduce you to the Taikan, which was unveiled at the world premiere.(Sorry for the poor quality, I took a capture of my computer screen)

What do you think of this design? It looks futuristic, but personally I think it is "I think it looks like a Panamera, but the Panamera is cooler.I felt like."(Maybe it's because I'm used to seeing them).

However, this image is not enough, so we went to the Porsche News website and found an article and photos of the Taikan announcement.

This is the first time I have seen a Taikan with a body color other than white, but in this way, it looks pretty cool. Also, the prototype that had been sighted beforehand made me feel that the Mission E was cool, but the design has changed a lot, but in fact, it was launched with a design quite similar to that of the Mission E.

The interior, by the way, is as follows.

The gauges are cool and easy to read, but I wonder about the operability of the buttons on the center console. I wonder how easy it is to operate the buttons on the center console, etc. It will be quite difficult to learn how to operate it.

Taikan, I'd like to test drive it.

Porsche's first EV sports car. Since it's a Porsche, I'm sure it will impress you immensely when you test drive it. Even at its world premiere.

It's not just an EV sports car, it's firmly a Porsche (with soul)."

He said something like.(It is possible that you are not hearing English properly.)I would love to experience its performance when I am able to test drive it.

My husband, by the way.

The cutouts on the sides of the headlights look like a certain domestic car.I feel comfortable with the blue body.I would like to see a few more of the other colors in the darker color range fromBare modelI would be willing to look at the specs and price and consider it when the "Mere Old Man" comes out.
Also, it weighs almost 2.3 tons. I thought Porsche could make it a little lighter, but I guess with the current battery technology, it can't be helped.
I've test-driven a Tesla Model S before, and I was like, 'Fast and nice car, but not very memorable ride and handling.I've done the 'I've done it. So I'm interested to test drive the Taikan and see how Porsche is seasoning the chassis.

and so on.

Pricing and other details were not mentioned at the world premiere, but as soon as we learn more information, we will post it here on this blog.
