Taycan, The Young Wild Horse, From Porche Will Liven Up The Electric Car Scene.

Taycan (pronounced tie-kahn) - Young Wild Horse

Why go electric? asked Los Angeles Times from Porsche Chief Executive Oliver Blume;

Because of the CO2 targets worldwide. We have a big motivation: We have to do it.

We’ve had big success in electric motor sports. We’ve won three of the last four 24 Hours of Le Mans races with the 919 Hybrid. We carry over what we do in motor sports to the road. In Europe, more than 60% of Panamera sales are hybrid.

When asked about #Tesla, "The Taycan is often described as a Tesla-fighter, but you seem to hold Tesla in high regard?." Mr. Blume answered;

“If you look at what Tesla has done, if you look at their volume and look at their price level, it’s truly astonishing.
If you can do that with one brand and a sales network that is not comprised of dealers and a real sales organization, it’s even more astonishing.”
