Taycan to be announced in China

I haven't been able to update my blog for the last few days, but I haven't stopped writing blogs or got tired of it.

Um, that ... a little fun, I got the opportunity to run with a Porsche model different from my usual 911, so I've been having too much fun running with Porsche for the past few days, so I'm running with Porsche over there on the blog I did.

Also, I would like to write about this at a later date, but ah, Porsche is really fun because every model has its own good points ^ ^!

So, this time it's about June 29, 2020, a few days ago, but it's about the announcement of the Porsche Taycan base model.

Base model RWD Taycan

Porsche's fully electric car, Taycan, at the moment

• Taycan Turbo S
• Taycan turbo
• Taycan 4S

Has been announced, and it was said that the base model Taycan ... the so-called entry model "bare Taycan" will be announced soon.

Reference article:The entry model Taycan is rear-wheel drive, has a small battery, and is inexpensive.

When Porsche was talking about this "entry model Taycan" before

It will be a very attractive model for those who do not need a four-wheel drive vehicle due to the weather conditions in the area where they live.

And

This entry model Taycan will first appear in China.

It was also said.

And that was the entry model Taycan @ China announced on June 29, 2020 ^ ^

Frozen Berry Metallic Taycan

First of all, this base model Taycan, which was announced only in China, appeared in the pink frozen berry metallic color that China would like more.

Frozen Berry Metallic is one of the new colors added to the Taycan.

As I wrote before, the word "powdered pig" in China also means "pink pig",It also has the meaning of "being in a very healthy state"..

Therefore, Porsche's famous pink pig also means that it is healthy in China, and is it also a symbol of good things?

Because of these implications, it is understandable that Porsche's pink was brought to the announcement of the original Taycan in the Chinese market, which was the new color of this Taycan, the pink frozen berry metallic color. I can do it.

The base model Taycan, which is the original Taycan announced this time, has the same 79.2kWh as the Taycan 4S, but is rear-wheel drive (RWD) with a single deck performance battery.

A Porsche spokeswoman told the American magazine Road & Track that he is currently "considering whether the rear-wheel drive Porsche Taycan will be accepted in the American market."

In other words, at the moment, it seems that the release of the base model Taycan outside China is still undecided.

In addition to this base model Taycan announced in China this time, 79.2kWh battery pack / performance battery, 93.4kWh performance battery plus is also offered as an option.

Up to 408 horsepower with the standard battery pack and up to 476 horsepower with the Performance Battery Plus.

Both battery packs use launch control to reach 0-100km in 5.4 seconds and a maximum speed of 230km / h.

In China, it still uses the New European Driving Cycle, which says the base model Taycan has a cruising range of 414 kilometers (489 kilometers with a performance battery plus).

The capacity of the front trunk has been expanded, and the total capacity of the luggage room of the base model Taycan is 491 liters.

Even for Taycans coming into Japan, I think that it would be better to have a base model for domestic use, but what about?

Raw Taycan Price (China)

The price is "888,000 Chinese yuan (about 13.5 million yen)" in China.

Oh oh. Here again, we bring in the auspicious number "888", which is said to be more liked by China! Pink, 888.

Porsche, I love China too much ...

Well, China is probably the hottest market for Porsche right now, so it may be natural that we can adapt various things that can be done to the specifications for China.

Hey, Porsche!

Oh yeah, and last but not least, it's in the center of Taycan's dashboard by voice"Hey, Porsche" which is a command to move the display etc...

Even in Japanese, I'm really worried about whether the command will be "Hey, Porsche" (I'm kind of embarrassed, I don't think I can say "Hey Porsche" alone in the car ... (laughs)).

In China, it was "嘿, Hodoku" (Hey, Porsche) with the same feeling as English.

Ah, then I'm sure the Japanese version is definitely "Hey, Porsche".

Hey, Porsche!

・ ・ ・ ・ Ah ah.

No, it's too embarrassing ~ (laughs)! !! !! ← Even though I haven't bought it, I pronounce it without permission, and I'm too embarrassed to die ^^
