Here they are.

They’re gonna have 500 and 500b hp models. A sub 400 b hp and economical 300 b hp are on the horizon. No 2 door or GT versions will be made.

The top perfroming Taycan Turbo’s 0-60 times will be “well below” 3.5 seconds.

All models will do at least 155mph with a 2-speed gearbox, similar to the i8.

Range (not sure for which model) will be 310 miles on paper.

Porsche’s 800V charging system will recharge the Taycan from 10% to 80% in 20 minutes.

I assume they’re closely related but I love the looks of the AUdi etron GT more

Taycan turbo?

“well below” I sure hope so! The Model S Performance w/ Ludicrous (LOL) will do it in 2.4!

Hey, given that current non-turbo 911s are turbo too, what’s the matter with labeling an EV as turbo?

Words have no meaning anymore, haven’t you heard? Fake news!

No surprise. The E911 is coming to fill the 2 door slot, and a full electric is way to heavy for a GT model.

True but the Porsche will likely not be build like a 90s Hyundai.

I can't wait for the four door Coupe Turbo convertible with the landau roof.

And then there’s the roadster.....

God I hope that thing makes it to production

I don’t think they can not build it at this point, considering the money they’ve taken and the promises they’ve made.

——-

Pre-order marketing

Pre-orders of the Roadster began in 2017, with a US$50,000 deposit required. Tesla owners taking part in the referral promotion program began accumulating discounts toward the purchase of a Roadster based on the number of referrals. Those reaching 55 confirmed referrals obtained a 100% rebate toward a future Roadster purchase.

Price

The base model was expected to sell for US $200,000 but the first 1,000 to be produced, the so-called Founder’s Series, will be priced at $250,000. Full payment would be required to pre-order the latter vehicle.

7,400 lb- ft at the wheels.

This jumped out at me as well. Elicited a major eye roll.

1.9 second 0-60 and 600 mile range. Hopefully that trickles down to a lower priced sports car! 

Given their current priorities, It’s odd to think that for years Nissan was the king of batshit crazy acceleration...

My 4.5 to 60 (assuming I get everything right!) seems slooow now.

On paper, anyway.

Wait. The non-turbo 911s are turbo?

According to the article, they want to keep things familiar.

At this point, the Turbo moniker has lost its meaning. All 911s are turbo anyway.

I mean, it won't be called a Taycan.

But i n the end, it really is the sensation of speed that matters.

Ha yup. Even the base Carrera is turbocharged now.

Oh of course.

Look I sort of get that. Turbo is a trim level.

But when they’re EVs and the car doesn’t have an actual turbocharger...you can’t call it that! S urely! At what point is it false advertising?

I actually like at the wheels better as a measurement of torque, because it removes gearing from the equation . However, 7400 lb-ft looks less impressive when compared to some ICE cars.

The original Hellcat, for instance, has (manual) 650 * 2.26 * 3.70 = 5435 lb-ft at the wheel hubs (where Tesla’s measuring it, I believe, not at the tire tread) . Or, with an automatic, not counting any torque converter effects that multiply torque, 650 * 4.71 * 2.62 = 8021 lb-ft .
