However, don’t expect dirt to be added to future products.

As the first all-electric car from Porsche, the Porsche Taycan was introduced last summer. The Porsche was launched in December 2019. This makes it a relatively new model. This means that very few Taycans are available to customers. If you have any questions about the car, Porsche’s YouTube channel is your best bet. YouTuber Alex Bangula interviews Andreas Becker, Porsche Manager Production Marketing BEV & Strategy about the new Taycan and its features. The Taycan doesn’t have a conventional internal combustion engine. It’s not a secret. This is the main purpose of the car. Porsche decided to attach the Turbo badge to its name despite the fact that the Taycan does not have a turbocharger. Although it may sound strange, Porsche sees the Turbo name as more than just a symbol of the car’s forced-induction. The Turbo name is instead given to the model’s highest performance trim. Porsche believes that the Turbo moniker is appropriate for the more powerful Taycan.

Becker also addressed the unique propulsion sound of the car. Porsche wanted the sound to sound authentic and futuristic, while giving feedback to the driver about the Taycan’s movements. It is not artificial. Becker states that the whine or warble can be attributed to the amplified sounds of the powertrain components, motor and transmission. Other answers discuss the Taycan’s winter capabilities. The electric powertrain can control torque to the wheels five-fold faster than an internal combustion engine car. Becker also spoke about the Taycan’s difficult winter testing. The Porsche Taycan is a new product from the automaker. It’s refreshing to see them take the time to describe the car, its features and the realities of the electric motortrain. Becker would not discuss any future electrified Porsche products beyond the information we already have. A Taycan Cross Turismo as well as an all electric successor to the Macan are currently in development.
