With market-leading charging speeds and acceleration times, the 2021 Porsche Taycan takes driving into the future. It is designed for those who want all the performance and power of a sports car but want to move forward with green energy.
Basics About the Porsche Taycan
The Taycan is the first fully electric car from German manufacturers, Porsche. Now in its second year of production, US dealerships began taking orders of the 2021 models in late 2020, with deliveries expected early 2021. This four dour sedan can seat four people.
The Taycan comes in four trims. All Taycan’s feature Mobile Charger Plus, an innovative two-speed transmission, and an aluminum double-bubble roof.
