Taikan World Premiere

Porsche live streamed the world premiere of the Taycan, Porsche's first production 4-door EV sports car, today at 22:00 Japan time on September 4. I watched it on-time, but I am not fluent enough in English to pick up all the information... but I would like to briefly introduce the world premiere.
(A countdown was being made to the time of the live feed.)
World premiere of Taikan will be broadcast simultaneously in three locationsThe first three are in the United States, the second is in China. The first three are a solar power plant in Germany, a hydroelectric power plant by Niagara Falls in Canada, and a wind farm in Fujian Province, China.
About Taikan
The Tycann, which reflects the technology of the 918 Spyder and 919 Hybrid, is aFirst EV sports car ever to be equipped with an 800V systemThe Taikan is a "800V" electric vehicle. Conventional electric vehicles are generally equipped with a 400V system, but the Taikan is equipped with an 800V system, which is twice as much as a 400V system.Consistent high level and high performanceThe number was "1,000,000". Below, we assume the numbers are for the higher-end model, the Taikan Turbo S.
Maximum speed is 260 km/h
0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds, 0-200km in 9.8 seconds
Maximum output is 560kw.(equivalent to 761 hp)
Maximum torque 1050Nm
It is. It weighs over 2 tons. Looking at the numbers alone, one gets the impression that the company is quite aware of Tesla.
Records supporting these figures include.In a test conducted in August at a dedicated course in Nardo, Italy, 3,425 km were covered in 24 hours.The average speed is 215 km/h. The average speed is up to 215 km/h.
In the same month, the team also conducted a time attack at the Nürburgring (North Course) in Germany.Recorded a lap time of 7 minutes and 42 seconds, the fastest for a 4-door EV sports carThe company is doing so.
As for recharging, the car can run 100 km on a 5-minute charge (270 kW).
Taikan Design
Here, we would like to introduce you to the Taikan, which was unveiled at the world premiere.(Sorry for the poor quality, I took a capture of my computer screen)
What do you think of this design? It looks futuristic, but personally I think it is "I think it looks like a Panamera, but the Panamera is cooler.I felt like."(Maybe it's because I'm used to seeing them).
However, this image is not enough, so we went to the Porsche News website and found an article and photos of the Taikan announcement.
This is the first time I have seen a Taikan with a body color other than white, but in this way, it looks pretty cool. Also, the prototype that had been sighted beforehand made me feel that the Mission E was cool, but the design has changed a lot, but in fact, it was launched with a design quite similar to that of the Mission E.
The interior, by the way, is as follows.
The gauges are cool and easy to read, but I wonder about the operability of the buttons on the center console. I wonder how easy it is to operate the buttons on the center console, etc. It will be quite difficult to learn how to operate it.
Taikan, I'd like to test drive it.
Porsche's first EV sports car. Since it's a Porsche, I'm sure it will impress you immensely when you test drive it. Even at its world premiere.
It's not just an EV sports car, it's firmly a Porsche (with soul)."
He said something like.(It is possible that you are not hearing English properly.)I would love to experience its performance when I am able to test drive it.
My husband, by the way.
The cutouts on the sides of the headlights look like a certain domestic car.I feel comfortable with the blue body.I would like to see a few more of the other colors in the darker color range fromBare modelI would be willing to look at the specs and price and consider it when the "Mere Old Man" comes out.
Also, it weighs almost 2.3 tons. I thought Porsche could make it a little lighter, but I guess with the current battery technology, it can't be helped.
I've test-driven a Tesla Model S before, and I was like, 'Fast and nice car, but not very memorable ride and handling.I've done the 'I've done it. So I'm interested to test drive the Taikan and see how Porsche is seasoning the chassis.
and so on.
Pricing and other details were not mentioned at the world premiere, but as soon as we learn more information, we will post it here on this blog.

Yesterday I happened to be able to watch the live feed at the right time. One of the live broadcast destinations was China, and the subtitles showed it, reminding me once again that Porsche is focusing on the Chinese market. There were some audio problems during the live broadcast, but I thought it was a good thing because it gave a live feel to the event.
I too have been looking at the headlights on the Taikan with concern, thinking they look like Copen tail lights, and I have a feeling they will be a short lived design, just like the teardrops on the 996 and 986.
A 100km run on a 5 minute charge is appealing, but not for ordinary household 200v, perhaps.
I felt some discomfort with the white headlights and wheels, but my impression may change when I see it in person, so I am looking forward to the introduction of a test drive vehicle in Japan.
Mr. Ishi.
I see you watched the live feed!
Indeed, the Chinese language was everywhere, indicating that they are focusing on the Chinese market.
Several times during the course of the show, the sound went out! And at crucial moments (laughs).
While watching that world premiere, I thought to myself, "I hope to be invited here someday.
That design, the actual charging infrastructure in Japan, etc.
I wonder what the Japanese automotive media will write about it, and I would love to test drive it ^^^.
Good morning.
Taikan is finally out.
This seems kind of ugly w/o a low ride height (without the feeling of crawling on the ground).
I am rather looking forward to the wagon type.
As for EVs, I prefer engines, but I have high hopes for them, though.
Recently, I even remembered that for transportation other than for the purpose of driving enjoyment, I can even drive automatically with EVs anymore.

Exactly, it's finally out!

>I am rather looking forward to the wagon type.
Even though it is an EV sports car, it somehow has the feel of a luxury sedan.
>Lately, I even remembered that for transportation other than for the purpose of driving enjoyment, I'm already fine with EVs and automatic driving.
I see...! Perfect use of the word... (LOL) That's great too!
If it's a daily commute, it's definitely easier... (laughs)
Taycan out! I didn't watch the whole thing, but I did watch the presentation video, which I'll try to summarize.
The U.S. site announces $150,000 for the turbo and $185,000 for the turbo S. In Japan, it would probably start at just under 20 million yen...
I thought that if the front eyes were replaced, it would look just like the Panamera. And the eye slits look a lot like the Lexus LC. I agree with "Panamera is cooler."
I am not planning to buy one, but I am very curious. However, I think the 450km range is not achievable unless you are very careful not to step on it. The battery will run out if you keep stepping on it.
I've been seeing a lot of Tesla model 3s here lately, in addition to Tesla model Ss and Xs. There seems to be a lot of demand to switch from Tesla. I look forward to seeing them on the streets soon.
Mr. SN.
Taikan, well... it's a pretty good price (of course it is).
I've never even driven a plug-in hybrid car, so I don't know how long the battery will last, or how much it will change depending on how you drive.
I have no idea what to expect, but I wonder if it would be possible to run the distance with air conditioning in the heat of summer in Japan without any problems, or if it would be possible to use it on a daily basis with Japan's recharging infrastructure.
I am concerned about a lot of things.
I can't wait to see the Taikan in the city. I guess it will look futuristic and quite cool when I see it in the city.
Please let me know if you see them again in the U.S. ^^^.
It's been a while.
However, I continue to read your blog and enjoy reading it.
I was told by the Porsche Center.
The voltage for charging was 800v, and in addition to the facility, a qualified high voltage electricity operator was required.
It is also quite a hurdle.
In general facilities, would it be from maintenance in condominiums and other housing complexes?
And then there's the latest 911 Type 992.
We also heard the shocking news that after the full model change, it will be an EV vehicle.
992 was the last gasoline-powered car⁉︎.
Tetsu.
It's been a while!
>I was told by someone at the Porsche Center.
>The voltage for charging was 800v, and in addition to the facility, a qualified high voltage electrician was required.
Oh...yes...that is a hurdle...
Certainly that would be a lot of work for an individual...
Having an electric car is different from having a regular car.
>And the latest 911 Type 992.
>We also heard a shocking story that the car will be an EV after a full model change.
>992 is the last gasoline-powered car⁉︎.
Wow, I see...! Europe has very strict environmental regulations...
Then the NA 6-cylinder and other cars we have now will become really valuable....
