Porsche Taycan Event Driving Video

As from the middle of March 2021, the new Taycan will complete the sports saloon model range as the fourth variant, alongside the Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S. The new entry-level model features rear-wheel drive, is available with two battery sizes and delivers up to 300 kW (408 PS) with the Performance Battery or up to 350 kW (476 PS) with the Performance Battery Plus1.

With the Performance Battery Plus, the Taycan is the first series production car with a system voltage of 800 volts (voltage range 610 to 835 volts) instead of the usual 400 volts seen in electric cars. The two-deck Performance Battery Plus (standard in the Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S) contains 33 cell modules consisting of 12 individual cells each (396 in total). Their total capacity is 93.4 kWh. The Taycan and Taycan 4S are equipped with a Performance Battery with 28 cell modules and a gross energy content of 79.2 kWh. This results in a voltage range of approximately 520 to 720 volts.
