With the launch of the new Porsche Taycan, its first fully electric sports car, the brand is entering a new era of electromobility. Even as a fully electric vehicle, the Taycan is a true sports car with breath-taking acceleration and typical sports car traction and handling.

The highly anticipated Taycan models will be available in Malaysia in three variants, the flagship Taycan Turbo S, Taycan Turbo and Taycan 4S, offering a golden combination of renowned Porsche performance and state-of-the-art technology with comprehensive everyday usability.

The profile of the driving modes in the new Taycan essentially follows the same philosophy as in the other Porsche model series. This is supplemented by special settings which enable optimum use of the purely electric drive. Sport Plus and Individual modes are part of the Sport Chrono Package, which comes as standard in the Taycan Turbo S.

Both the Taycan Turbo S and Taycan Turbo are the cutting edge of Porsche E-Perfomance and are among the most powerful production models that Porsche currently has in its product range.

To top it off, Taycan is the first production vehicle with a system voltage of 800 volts instead of the usual 400 volts for electric cars. This is a particular advantage for Taycan drivers on the road, in just over 36 minutes, the battery can be fully recharged.
