We recently brought you a series of Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo spyshots, with the sexy wagon being caught on camera while performing extreme weather testing. Well, we are now back on the topic, since a standard Taycan, if we might call it so, has shown up in German traffic.
The EV was spotted in Stuttgart, Porsche's home city, with the machine having been filmed while doing its testing thing, as you'll be able to notice in the social media post at the bottom of the page.
Now, while we know the Taycan will be priced similarly to the Panamera, which means it will kick off at around $90,000, the aficionados behind this spotting come with interesting real-life observations.
"Just bumped into this Porsche Taycan prototype around Stuttgart - Two things we noticed: It looks way smaller than a Panamera and it looks like it's driving on rails in the corners," we are being told.
When it comes to the size difference between the two, this is probably owed to the different packaging brought by the EV, as well as to Porsche's desire to avoid cannibalization.
Nevertheless, it looks like the Taycan will resemble the Panamera in terms of the offered body styles, from the standard version to the fact that the said Sport Turismo prototype has lost the hefty ground clearance of the Mission E Cross Turismo Concept that previewed it.
As is the case with Zuffenhausen toys, the Taycan range will offer multiple tech flavors. However, the carmaker has only dropped a few numbers to date. As such, we can talk about the newcomer packing at least 600 horsepower (each axle will get a dedicated electric motor).
The battery pack of the vehicle will offer a range of more than 500 km (311 miles), while a quick charge of 400 km (248 miles) will be achieved in just 15 minutes.
Porsche is set to introduce the Taycan later this year and we'll return with more details on the EV as soon as we get our keyboards on them.
