Porsche's General Manager for the Asia Pacific region shares his feelings on the Porsche Taycan and the famed 911.
“While the Taycan still retains the unmistakable Porsche design DNA, we have made significant future-ready changes that signal the beginning of a new era,” said General Manager Henrik Dreier as he spoke with LUXUOThe Porsche Taycan, the brand’s first and only all-electric sports car was officially previewed by Singapore media in September last year.
The popularity of Formula E vs Formula 1 has been a hot button topic for good reason. Is an electric Porsche still a Porsche? Speaking of Formula E earlier, Porsche made its debut in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship with the Porsche 99X Electric. While Formula E provided all teams with the vehicle chassis and the standard battery, Porsche engineers had to build a highly efficient powertrain offering maximum efficiency.
In terms of its exterior design, the Taycan silhouette is defined by the roofline sloping downward to the rear, which makes the vehicle appear sporty even when it is at a standstill. Drivers can also enjoy innovative elements such as the seamless light strip made of glass and the Porsche 3D lettering in glass-effect in the rear light bar.
The Taycan is the first production vehicle with a system voltage of 800 V instead of the usual 400 V for electric cars. This architecture enables consistent high performance and decreases the wiring cable’s weight for optimal driving dynamics. This shows that the performance typical for Porsche is reproduced in the Porsche Taycan, where its electric powertrain is designed to enable it to reach full power output even when accelerating multiple times in direct succession.While the Taycan still retains the unmistakable Porsche design DNA, we have made significant future-ready changes that signal the beginning of a new era.
Additionally, for the first time, we are offering a leather-free interior for customers who are looking for an environmentally friendly choice. One of the options is Club Leather “OLEA”, which is tanned using olive leaf extracts manufactured from renewable raw materials. Similarly, the interior design of a Taycan was also heavily inspired by the original 911’s cleanly styled dashboard from 1963. One of the goals was to bring it to the present day, in our first fully electric sports car, the Taycan.
We’ve considered many aspects, be it the models and type of cars. Electromobility plays an important role in shaping the future of sportscars. Other marques have gotten into debates as they redesigned logos and crests into “modern” representations, were there discussions on keeping the iconic shield?
