Taycan is the first fully electric sports car to work with an 400-volt system instead of the normal voltage level of 800 volts for electric cars. Thanks to this feature, which provides an important advantage for Taycan drivers, the battery can be recharged in just five minutes for a range of up to 100 kilometers (according to WLTP). The time calculated for Taycan's battery to reach the charge level from 5 percent to 80 percent is approximately 22.5 minutes and has a maximum charging power of 270 kW.
Exterior design with Porsche DNA
With its exterior design, Taycan signals the beginning of a new era and carries the traces of Porsche's easily recognizable design DNA. When viewed from the front, it is a very wide and flat silhouette, its wings are quite distinctive. The sporty roofline with a downward slope at the back shapes the silhouette. Sharp-line sides are also among the car's characteristic features. Innovative elements such as the Porsche logo with glass effect integrated into the LED stop lighting on the back also attract attention.
10,9 inch central infotainment display
The cockpit, which has a new architecture with its simple design, emphasizes that a new era has begun. The innovative dashboard consists of a 16,8-inch display with rounded lines, typical of Porsche.

The first interior-free interior design from Porsche
With Taycan, Porsche is presenting an interior design where leather is never used for the first time. The interior electric sports car, made from innovative recycled materials, has been designed to suit the sustainable concept unique to the car. Since there are no battery modules in the rear footrests, comfort is provided while sitting in the back and enables low car weight specific to sports cars.
The Taycan model has two luggage compartments with 81 at the front and 366 at the rear.
Innovative driving engines and two-speed gearbox
Taycan Turbo S and Taycan Turbo have two electric motors, one on the front axle and the other on the rear axle, making the cars all-wheel drive.
An innovation developed by Porsche is the two-speed transmission mounted on the rear axle. The first gear gives the Thai model greater acceleration at the start, while the second gear provides high efficiency and high power reserves.
Porsche chassis systems
Porsche's conventional integrated Porsche 4D-Chassis Control system analyzes and synchronizes all chassis systems in real time. Also, as with all models, there are Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC Sport) systems including PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) and Porsche Torque Steering Plus (PTV Plus). Another unique feature of the car is its four-wheel drive and recovery system with two electric motors. Driving tests show that approximately 90 percent of braking in everyday driving is carried out only by electric motors and that the braking system is not activated. In addition to four different driving modes: “Range”, “Normal”, “Sport” and “Sport Plus”, individual systems can be configured as required in “Individual” mode.
