If the 356 created the Porsche brand, 911 represents the soul of Porsche, Cayenne and Macan saved the lives of Porsche, then Taycan the Porsche shows commitment to move towards electrification
time back to the 2015 Frankfurt motor show, Porsche has brought its new concept car -MissionE, once appeared, it attracted everyone’s attention. In the second half of 2019, the Porsche car to the real world from the concept car, and named Taycan, figurative meaning as a valiant young horse.
as Porsche’s new model, Taycan been given more mission, it will also take on more responsibility.
with its expectations, I had brief contact with this car.
Porsche electric vehicle development history
Many people think Taycan is Porsche’s first pure electric vehicle, but as early as a hundred years previously, Porsche founder Ferdinand middot; Porsche briefly led a brief wave of electric cars, but that time is short. He personally penned by the design and build of the Lohner-Porsche prototype car, it is a pure electric car.
Moreover, Ferdinand middot; Porsche also developed the world’s first hybrid model -SemperVivus (Latin translated as “eternal life”)
only but because the vehicle weight, lack of infrastructure constraints and mileage, making the project ran aground off.
and Taycan launch today, many people say that Porsche out of its very nature, contrary to the tradition of the brand, but if you know its history, you will say so what?
TA Tesla ModelS really direct competitors?
If the vehicle level point of view, both of which are really large level, butIf further explore, you will find that these two cars positioned absolutely no overlap between.
The first is the product level, Tesla’s products are developed, based more on technology-oriented, in the traditional car prices are not fully in force electric vehicles at times, Tesla did with a strong three-technology, higher mileage and a high level of driver assistance captured the hearts and minds of many consumers.
and Porsche launched Taycan the more traditional car manufacturers showing concept cars, but also inherited the gene Porsche. For example, the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7 minutes and 43 seconds 34 results, in another track Nardo, in the 24 hours to complete the 3425 kilometers of long-distance endurance test.
followed by consumer groups, purchasing Tesla ModelS people are more like to accept new things, more innovative way to travel, more comfortable driving environment.
and Taycan audience is completely different, although there is no roar of conventional engines, but traditional car prices still find ways to build out (TurboS standard electric motion sound, other versions need to choose loaded). And when you sit in, you will want to drive this car, as the autopilot, when mature technology or wait for it.
As for the price level, Tesla ModelS (79.39-89.39 million) also Taycan (114.80-179.80 million) also has a certain gap, of course, the upcoming Porsche Starter Edition Taycan4, prices will further dropping.
It can be seen, Porsche and Tesla ModelS Taycan no direct competition, simply because the consumer Tesla earlier into the electric car market and establish the image of the current benchmark, so many people often nothing will compare with Tesla.
TA what is superior to others?
When Porsche announced Taycan price, a lot of people with the starting point of life is to sigh: worth! So that really so what? What they TaycanWhat emboldened to sell at this price?
But when I read the technical data and found the mystery.
a few simple examples:
an electric vehicle battery and motor core member is, in the standard Turbo Porsche Taycan and TurboS (4S optional) of 93.4kWh battery pack, although only 463km (NEDC conditions) of mileage, but they did not deliberately seek to accumulate battery life at the expense of ride comfort, but left in the back row to the passenger foot area the “foot hole” to avoid rear passengers take a long time to experience a sense of discomfort brought about.
800V charging voltage is headed ability Taycan Porsche, the benefits of this is that when the ideal state, the percentage of from 5 to 80 percentage charge only takes about 22 minutes. while reducing the space required for cable. At present, other electric vehicle charging voltage is only 400V.
First two-speed gearbox is mounted in an electric vehicle body 1 can provide a better starting gear acceleration, while a larger second speed gear ratio to a high speed and lifting speed cruise prepare, so the most immediate benefit is to improve the mileage.
Further, active aerodynamics mounted on a Porsche (PAA) can automatically adjust the front air intake and rear spoiler can be adjusted, while with the three air suspension chamber, the high-speed automatic decrease in body height, reducing drag (only 0.22), thereby further improving the mileage.
It is obvious from these technologies, Porsche Taycan strength does have some attractions, which is the other brands of electric cars do not have, which of course includes Tesla.
can give you any kind of surprise?
A lot of people think of electric cars a big screen for all to resolve the matter-computer interaction is very convenient, but I’m skeptical, after all, some of the features on the second level menu even closer when in position,Ease of use will be greatly reduced.
Porsche Taycan in the control design is obvious to see that the traditional design concept car prices, the different functions in different sub-regions.
The compositions of 16.8 inches curved dashboard screen displays all relevant information with the driver, including lighting, suspension, chassis lift control.
Some control functionality concentrated 10.9-inch touch screen in the middle of the center.
8.4 inches below the screen with a touch vibration feedback can simplify the operation of some functions, such as air conditioning, heated seats, seat ventilation and navigational input address.
In addition if you want to enhance the entertainment front passenger, then spend an option together 10.9 inches screen can also kill the boring time on the road.
used to open a lot of people do not like fuel vehicles electric car is an important factor, that there is no noise, lack of passion. The Taycan may make you rediscover the passion to open fuel vehicles, in addition to remind other road users with loud voice to ensure each other’s safety, its unique motor sport sound is also time to wake up your search for the driver’s desire .
summary
just two hours of static experience, this is clearly understood that the trolley is not enough, but I believe it appears, make a lot of biased electric car consumers realize that, in fact, this Taycan give them the same thrill of sports car with gasoline, as much as possible to reduce the feeling of irritability caused by being charged.
and I look forward to further close contact with it.
