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

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

Sep 24, 2019

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.

gtr will lead a track parade of mclaren ultimate series cars brought together for the first time with the iconic mclaren f1, represented by the famous xp5 prototype.

the new mclaren senna gtr, is mclaren automotive newest ultimate series model.

first announced at the geneva international motor show in 2018 with the surprise unveiling of a concept version, the final validation prototype mclaren senna gtr will take to the historic goodwood motor circuit at the head of a very special celebration of mclaren cars. featuring a mclaren p1™ gtr, a mclaren p1™ and road-going mclaren senna alongside the new gtr, the track parade will also include the famous xp5 mclaren f1 prototype. for several years xp5 held the world record for the fastest production road car and will, for the first time, be joining its 21st century mclaren ultimate series descendants.

free from the constraints of road car legislation and motorsport competition rules, the track-only mclaren senna gtr advances circuit driving capability to another level entirely. with 814bhp and torque of 590lb ft available from its 4.0-liter twin turbocharged v8 engine and a lightest dry weight of 2,619lbs, the new gtr has an astonishing power-to-weight ratio of 694bhp-per ton. in combination with aerodynamic downforce in excess of 2,205lbs and suspension derived from mclaren’s gt3 race program, this ensures the new mclaren senna gtr is the ultimate expression of track driving performance and excitement.

the first of the 75 customers who have secured a mclaren senna gtr – all cars were sold shortly after the concept made its geneva debut at prices from $1.65m plus taxes – are due to receive their cars this september.

the mclaren group is a global leader in luxury automotive and technology and comprises three businesses: automotive, racing and applied technologies.
