Porsche Taycan
The Porsche Taycan is an all-electric sports car that rewrites the rulebook on electric vehicle performance. This Tesla challenger, from one of the most iconic sports car manufacturers, delivers blistering speed and handling previously thought impossible for an EV. The Taycan stunned crowds at the Frankfurt Motor Show with its high-powered Turbo variants capable of an incredible 750 horsepower. It's a whole new level of performance from an emissions-free electric platform.
The History of the Taycan
The Taycan is the first vehicle built on Porsche's bespoke J1 electric platform designed from the ground up to maximise performance and handling dynamics. This fastback four-door coupédirectly takes on the Tesla Model S with its 93kWh battery pack powering front and rear axle electric motors. Using cutting-edge synchronous magnetic motor technology, the Taycan achieves an unprecedented power-to-weight ratio and performance metrics. The top Turbo S model rockets from 0-60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and can hit 124 mph in under 10 seconds, and it still manages a range of up to 201 miles on a single charge.
Porsche Taycan Tyre Requirements
The tyre size for the Porsche Taycan is 245/45R20 103Y XL front and 285/40R20 108Y XL for the rear tyres. These tyre choices for the Porsche Taycan provide immense grip for the Taycan's fast acceleration and high-speed cornering capabilities. However, electric vehicles present unique challenges when specifying tyre technology. The Taycan's substantial 2,305kg kerb weight requires tyres with higher load ratings to support the mass. The instant torque delivery of electric motors puts immense stress on tyres under hard acceleration. Overheating and accelerated wear are also concerns with performance tyres for the Porsche Taycan.
