Base model Taycan will appear within 12 months
Currently, in the United States, it seems that the delivery of "Taikan 4S" among Porsche's electric vehicle Taycan models has just begun.
And then, in the near future, an "entry model" will be added to this Taycan.
In an interview with Car Magazine, Porsche's research and development boss Michael Steiner said
- In order to make it more affordable, we will release a Taycan model with a small battery and rear wheel drive.
- 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.
Was told.
Certainly, there are probably few people who are living in the scorching desert, sliding in the terrible snow, as we have seen in various presses. I wonder if there are many people who think that it is not necessary to be a 4x4.
In fact, if you ride a Taycan for everyday use in Tokyo, those who have a slightly smaller battery and even if the power is a little lower than the current Turbo S and 4S, the price is easy to find. May be happy.
Yeah, if you really want to buy a Taycan, in my case this low priced base model may be overwhelmingly happy ^ ^
Steiner specifically mentioned China, saying that the entry model Taycan will first appear in China.
At the moment, Porsche board members are still refraining from mentioning detailed specifications and prices for this entry model Taycan, but at least within 12 months from now, this entry model Taycan will be announced. It is said that it will be.

Porsche Taycan size
The size of Taycan is as follows.
For the time being, what I can say for sure is the Taycan of this entry model, which is said to come out within the next year, that is, the Taycan. Well, don't you say that (laughs), uh, base model Taycan? Is that the price will definitely be set lower than the turbo model and S model that have already been announced.
Therefore, in order to run in Japan (especially in the city center), it will not be necessary to have such high-spec performance, and it is not necessary to be a 4x4 ... Is it? Then ... the number of people who say "buy it" will increase ... maybe ^^
