Porsche electric supercar Taycan surpass 30,000 reservations ahead of debut

Looks like Porsche has felt the heat for the need of EV’s. Tesla which is already ahead in the electrification field is doing brilliantly. Though there are several brands that have come up with electric cars not many have come up with sports and luxury cars. Porsche wants to take this opportunity first and have the early advantage. Porsche had already announced that it will come up. Now Porsche has a flagship electric sports car Taycan. Porsche has itself announced that the Taycan will be bigger than the Taycan and will even outsell the 911.

Porsche has already got a 30,000 pre-orders for Taycan. Taycan is still not even in its final stage and already a 30,000 pre-order entry is huge. Just the idea of having an Porsche electric car is making all the buyers go bonkers. The car won’t even be showcased till the Frankfurt carshow in September. In Norway alone, the automaker said that they received close to 3,000 reservations with deposits. It was encouraging because Porsche normally sells only about 600 vehicles per year in the market. Globally, the number has been expected to be more impressive. Porsche has already started to prepare for the surge and planning to produce 40,000 cars annually.

Porsche was expecting the produce 20,000 cars initially but when they got pre-orders for 30,000 cars they planned to rise the manufacturing capacity to 40,000.

The aim was to put a fresh face in the Porsche line-up and well compete or rather be the leader in the Electric vehicle performance car like the Tesla Model S. Will the loyal Tesla American car fans swift their loyalty to the mainstream car leader Porsche? We will have to wait to see.

Well, there is very little information available about the Porsche Taycan. From whatever information we have got the Porsche Taycan that will launch with a 250 KW charge rate instead of the previously announced 350 KW. The electric super performance car will come with a range of 300 miles. To reach 80% of the  distance 240 miles can be done with a fast charge within 15 mins.

The Taycan electric will deliver a massive power of 600 horsepower to all the four wheel drive car. The car will reach a speed of 60 in just 3.5 seconds and will reach a speed of 120 in 12 seconds.

The base version will come up with a 80 KWH battery pack and a rear-drive motor. However, we can see the higher versions or the high ends cars to come with a 96 KWH battery pack and not to mention dual motor options for more. The price has not been announced as well, but we are expecting the base version to start around US $ 80,000 undercutting the base price of the entry level Porsche 911 and the high end cars to touch around US $ 130,000.
