Porsche's New Buzz
Robb Report Singapore|February 2020
The German marque’s new electric car, the Taycan, shows what it’s made of on test drives in Denmark and Germany.

Tesla owners believe electrification is the future and the transportation industry shouldn’t drain natural resources. Porsche Taycan buyers? That’s not what drives them. They want repeatable, blistering and uncompromising performance. It just so happens that the Taycan is electric. We tested two Taycan models, the Turbo and the Turbo S, to see if the marque’s battery-powered salvos hit their intended targets.

Slip into the Taycan Turbo and you feel like you’re seated in a 911. This is on purpose, of course, but what’s nothing like the 911 is the technology. The curved driver’s display adds a subtle futuristic touch to the cabin, as do the two centralised touchscreens. In a surprising simplification, we cycle through the drivetrain options – Range, Normal, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual, found in the Sport Chrono Package – by rotating a dial on the steering wheel.
