2020 porsche taycan luxury all-electric high-performance pollution-free hits the road.
advertisement

the name taycan roughly translates from turkish as “lively young horse” in reference to the steed of the stuttgart coat of arms on the porsche crest.

the taycan is a billion-dollar bet on an electric-drive future, the first in what the high-end german car company hopes will be a long line of battery-powered high-performance cars and sport utility vehicles.

the interior of the car is based around up to four digital displays, including a curved, free-standing 16.8 in configurable driver’s display. this marks porsche’s first fully digital instrument binnacle. a 10.9 inch screen is situated to the right of the instrument binnacle which serves as the infotainment system of the car. an optional screen is placed to the right of the infotainment screen which allows the front passenger to customize the infotainment system. an 8.4 inch screen is present in a portrait layout on the centre console with a trackpad to control the functions. the screen displays the status of the power train and tells the driver to efficiently use the power. despite using an all digital layout, the dashboard features the classic porsche clock on the top.
