One small step for a woman, one giant leap for an electric car

Relationship between lunar landing and Taycan

A very famous word from Neil Armstrong, who landed on the moon on Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969.

"One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind"
(A small step for one person, but a great leap for humanity)

And this time, the title of the official press release issued by Porsche is here ↓

"One small step for a woman, one giant leap for an electric car"
(A small step for a woman, but a great leap for an electric car)

… That ’s Paul-She-san (laughs)! Already.Ahead of the Taycan announcement tomorrowIt's kind of crazy ^^

Yes, the world premiere of Porsche's electric vehicle "Taikan" is finally coming tomorrow.

The announcement on Taycan's live streaming will be from 22:00 on September 4, 2019 (Wednesday) Japan time.

On this screen, you can watch the live stream at the above time ↓

By the way, Taycan ahead of the world premiere tomorrow.

It was announced this time that Taycan recorded 145 km / h (90.58 mph) on the deck of the aircraft carrier by accelerating from the full stop state.

0-145 km is 10.17 seconds. I ran 422 feet (about 128.6 meters).

The location is Alameda, California, USA, and the aircraft carrier is "USS Hornet".

It is said to be an aircraft carrier equipped with an 869-foot flight deck weighing 27,500 tons.

It was the ship used to recover the astronauts who returned to Earth from the mission of this USS Hornet, Apollo 11 (and Apollo 12).

…Hmm?

Hmm?

Ah ah!

I see. Is that so! That's why you played with Armstrong's famous words! !! (That's what I finally notice (laughs)).

The driver is a woman named Shea Holbrook, a professional racer.

It's certainly not necessary to wear a racing suit, but it seems a bit strange to me that the helmet and sleeveless shirt are inevitable ^^

By making the best use of Taycan's launch control start function and the performance of carbon ceramic brakes, it seems that he was able to drive at full acceleration to about 30 meters before the end of the flight deck.

At first glance, the aircraft carrier's flight deck looks like a beautiful straight road, and it's actually quite bumpy.

Well, it's true that fighters are always taking off and landing, so I don't think it's a smooth road.

It is said that this performance is not like a benchmark for Taycan, but it seems that Taycan's good appeal was that it could produce such performance even on a bumpy road.

But from my point of view

"One small step for a woman, one giant leap for an electric car"
(A small step for a woman, but a great leap for an electric car)

I wanted to say that, so I thought that I might have purposely run Taycan on this aircraft carrier in order to have a relationship with this word (laugh).

Isn't that the case?

Taycan video running the aircraft carrier USS Hornet

Below is a video of a Taycan running on an aircraft carrier's flight deck. It's pretty cool. The sound is futuristic "shuin", but ...

 

Taycan's world premiere is a live stream from three countries

Oh yeah, the Taycan World Premiere on September 4th, but it seems that it will be held at three places in the world at the same time. The three places are:

• Canada
• Germany
• China

3 countries.

Why are these three countries?

This is, of course, the target market for selling the electric vehicle Taycan, but it is even more well thought out, and each of these three countries has a famous "electric power plant". is.

As expected, Taycan. Electrical connection.

Canada: Hydropower

In Canada, the Niagara Falls hydroelectric power plant on the border between New York, USA and Ontario, Canada.

Germany: Solar power

In Germany, a solar power plant in Neuhardenberg near Berlin.

China: Wind power

A wind farm on Pingtan Island in Fujian Province, China.

It will be a global live streaming broadcast from each of the three major power plants that represent the world, hosted by former F1 driver and current Porsche brand ambassador Mark Webber. ..

Livestreaming will be broadcast in five languages: English, Mandarin, Spanish, French and German. I miss Japanese ...

Anyways! I am looking forward to seeing the Taycan without camouflage.

How far was the fake sound of the "shui-n" sound when driving? ?? ?? Is the sound actually the same in the production version? ??

I'm looking forward to various things ^^
