If we assume that media jurnos are a extrapolation of real drivers, in the sense that they vary in personality and preferences; then we should confidently say it’s a great system for everyone - since literally every review of it has been good.
Of course, like with everything, there will always...
Some of the stuff was just rumors; now we have confirmations on: announcment date, weight, battery, performance (for a trim), release date
The car also does a good impression of a flat 6 apparently; so the journos were pleased also.
Per TheTimes, production version unvail in a few weeks, likely before Holidays:
Some of the articles have Röhrl confirm the weight at around 1700kg and 500-600hp RWD. (AWD could have more hp?)
55:45 weight distribution.
0-62mph feels like low 4s (per CarMagazine - unconfirmed straight line...

To me that sounds like 2028 will be the first FULL year of sales of this model.
As in, it could very well sell in 2027, but not all quarters.
So based on...
The mule is shown at 4:05. Mid "engine" mounted battery
The final version seem to have a more 911 like shape, compared to the gen2 a110 / the mule for the ev, where roof line was cutting of strangely.
Testing the Musk charging hole & Musk charging standard
They need to have performance parity between EU models and US models on charging curve, charging performance, etc despite different standards and port
It for sure will be 800V, if not higher, arhitecture; as that means less weight.
800V -> 250A
Lower current lets you use smaller copper conductors and reduces I2RI^2R losses. That is why 800 V systems can use lighter HV cabling, busbars, contactors, and sometimes smaller cooling hardware than...
Yes, it will be avaliable. It's already been spotted / heard around nurburing this year, before they even announced it for the Taycan.
Likely a paid option, like EVERYTHING in Porsche land.
It will be a colosal failure if they intentionally keep the cayman EV back.
As it is right now, the Cayenne EV is porsche's most powerfull car. So an SUV already outperforms the 911.
As for track performance, the car needs to at the very least outperform the taycan GT, for them to even claim...
They aren't launching with the battery from the video for sure, as that battery doesn't exist anymore. The company making it went bankrupt and porsche changed supplier more than a year ago - the whole reason this car has been delayed so much.
It delivered 39.39 kw from 40-50% to 89%.
So we can speculate that 39.39kw is 40 to 50% of the battery capacity. So the full battery would be 80-90kw (around the size of j1.1 taycan)
We don’t know if they will offer 2 battery sizes, but I think it’s unlikely
EDIT: just noticed that the video...
It started charging at around 40-50%, and charged until 89%; with a peak charging speed of 162kw and it stayed consistently above 150kw until 85%
That is already a bad scenario for charging and EV, as the Battery won’t be able to achieve peak charging speed by starting at 50%, likely with no...
While a valid point; that's not porsche's stance on things like this. All you need to do is look at the Taycan GT Weissach - a 4 door car, with no rear seats, with a massive spoiler that halves the range on any autobahn - by all apsects, a shit tradeoff in the name of track performance.
I will...
Those same EVs last 3-4 launch control, or half a lap of nurburing before they stop delivering full power. The taycan can actually do it all day :)
So that's the difference.
I thought it was unveiled 8 years ago?
Or are they finally unveling the release date: "trust bro, next year"?
Hard to think a company can be slower than porsche at rolling out a car.
