The quarter-mile speed is faster than the factory number.
This video will show you the straight-line performance and acceleration of the rear-wheel-drive Porsche Taycan. AutoTopNL sends it on a run of 100 km/h (62 miles/hr) and then the standing mile.
The shorter sprint sees the Taycan reach 62 mph in 5.19 seconds. The app also displays the figure with a one foot rollout. This reduces the time to 4.93 seconds. Porsche claims that the rear-drive Taycan can travel 60 mph (96 km/h) in 5.1 seconds. This video matches the factory estimates.
The video cuts to the standing mile run. The Taycan takes 5.25 seconds to reach 62 MPH in this instance. It takes 13.07 seconds to complete a quarter-mile, which is considerably faster than the factory estimates of 13.7 seconds to 13.9 seconds.
The Taycan accelerates and can reach 200 kph (124.3 miles per hour) in 16.04 seconds. The car can cover the half-mile in just 20.17 seconds, and the mile in 32.85 second. The Porsche’s GPS shows a speed of 230 km/h (143 mph).
The base Taycan’s motor drives the rear wheels with 402 horsepower (344 kilowatts) & 254 pound-feet (344 Newton-meters). The output of the battery can be increased to 469 horsepower (350 kW) or 263 lb.ft (357 Nm) if buyers buy a larger one.
The base 2021 Porsche Taycan is priced at $79,900 in America and will go on sale this spring. It has a EPA range of 200 miles (322 kilometers) with the standard 79.2 kilowatt hour battery. You can travel 225 miles on an optional 93.4 kWh battery.
Experts agree that the EPA estimates for Taycan are conservative. According to the AMCI independent range test, the distance is 252 miles (405 km) for the smaller battery and 282 mile (454 km) for the larger one.
