Welcome to the Porsche Taycan 2.0: a car that’s lighter, quicker to charge, packed with more range than its predecessor and fast.
Because the range-topping, definitely-hasn’t-got-a-turbo Taycan Turbo S will go from 0-62mph in 2.4s. Two point four. Formerly the preserve of gazillion horsepower underground street-racing hotrods, that pace is now accessible – uniformly, one suspects – in an electric (very plush) family car.
It’s a full 0.4 seconds than its predecessor, while even the base Taycan – simply called… The Taycan – is 0.6s quicker, achieving 0-62mph in 4.8s. That’s faster than an E46 M3. Furthermore, the Turbo S gets the Sport Chrono pack as standard (optional elsewhere) and features a new ‘push-to-pass’ function allowing for a 94bhp (70kW) boost for 10 seconds.
The increase in pace is of course down to a number of differentials that include a new, redesigned rear-axle motor that’s 10kg lighter than before and is able to deliver up to 107bhp (80kW) more power. There’s an upgraded ‘pulse inverter’ too.

Some more numbers. It’ll now travel further, the new ‘Performance Battery Plus’ offering 105kWh (an increase over the 93kWh battery of its predecessor) which in the rear-drive Taycan, is now able to travel up to 421 miles (678km) on a single charge. That’s a full 109 miles more than before.
There’s better software. An upgraded thermal management system. A next-gen heat pump. Better recuperation from braking energy. Faster recharging (for example, 10-80 per cent in 18 minutes, versus the old car’s leisurely 37 minutes).
And more power across the board: the base Taycan now gets up to 430bhp (320kW), the 4S 590bhp (440kW), the not-a-Turbo Turbo 872bhp (660kW) and the really-not-a-Turbo-at-all Turbo S a whopping 940bhp (700kW). So, nearly a gazillion horsepower, as it turns out.
Of course the Taycan has never really been a ‘numbers’ car – even if the new numbers are startling – and to make it more… Porschey, there are now adaptive dampers fitted as standard across the entire range. We’re told they keep the car stable via auto self-levelling tech, lowering up to 22mm above a certain speed.
