DESIGN
The sweeping lines from front to rear have been art of Porsche DNA for many years and that sloping roof line that typifies a 911. Porsche have worked at new ways of implementing technology into Taycan to create a four door supercar. Apple Music and Maps are built in to create a seamless user experience, a cable both on the circuit and in the city.

It’s a supercar-style kick in the back, but one which doesn’t relent for gear changes (as of course there aren’t any) and feels linear in its delivery. Wired The Tesla Model 3 is not just a smaller version of the Model S. It's better than a Model S in so many areas.

Driving experience
You sit low, your tailbone nearly on the floor creating this low down engaged feeling with the car, the front fenders sloping away letting you know exactly where the front wheels are. It feels like a Porsche, it feels poised and ready. Technically it is ahead of the pack as well, with is 800 volt architecture which helps it in high power instances of charging and power delivery it never misses a beat. All three models come with intelligence dual Motor AWD with the fastest boast an two speed auto gearbox derived from the Rimac Concept 2. Petrol heads beware, this car with change your perception.
