Porsche just revealed the version of its stunning $153,510 electric Tesla rival that you can actually buy - here's what it looks like
Each trim will have two motors and a standard all-wheel-drive configuration.
They'll be able to reach a top speed of 161 mph, Porsche says.
They'll be able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in three seconds or less.
The Taycan Turbo will be able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in three seconds, while the Taycan Turbo S will be able to do the same in 2.6 seconds, according to Porsche.
The more expensive Turbo S model has up to 750 horsepower, while the cheaper Turbo model comes with 670.
The Taycan Turbo will be able to produce a maximum of 670 horsepower, while the Taycan Turbo S will top out at 750 horsepower, Porsche says.
Torque will top out at 774 pound-feet.
According to Porsche, the Taycan Turbo will be able to produce 626 pound-feet of torque, while the Taycan Turbo S will be able to produce 774 pound-feet of torque.
Each trim will have a 93 kWh battery.
But Porsche hasn't released the official US range estimate for either trim yet, because it's still waiting for the US Environmental Protection Agency to finishing testing.
According to the European testing cycle, which tends to be more generous than the EPA's, the Taycan Turbo S will have a range of up to 256 miles, while the Taycan Turbo will have a range of up to 280 miles.
The Taycan Turbo starts at $153,510, while the Taycan Turbo S starts at $187,610.
The starting prices will eventually be lowered to $150,900 and $185,000, respectively.
Porsche will also release less powerful, and likely less expensive, versions of the Taycan later this year.
Porsche says the Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S will be able to charge from 5% to 80% in 22.5 minutes "under ideal conditions."
Here's what the charge port looks like.
The dashboard looks much like a standard Porsche dashboard, but many of the controls have been moved into the touch screens.
The Taycan Turbo and Turbo S will have a 16.8-inch digital instrument panel, 10.9-inch infotainment screen, and an 8.4-inch touch pad below the infotainment screen that can be used for climate settings.
The Taycan's instrument panel was inspired by that of the original Porsche 911.
Drivers will have four display options that will highlight speed, power, or navigation.
Many functions that would traditionally be controlled with switches or buttons will instead by controlled with a touch pad, screen, or voice command.
The vehicles will also integrate Apple Music into their infotainment systems.
Customers will be able to choose between two kinds of leather or Race-Tex, a leather-free option made of microfibers.
Deliveries will begin at the end of this year, Porsche has said.
