It took awhile — years, in fact — but Porsche on Wednesday marked “the start of a new era” by finally introducing the hotly anticipated production version of the all-electric concept that wowed the crowd at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.
“We promised a true Porsche for the age of electromobility — a fascinating sports car that not only excites in terms of its technology and driving dynamics, but also sparks a passion in people all over the world, just like its legendary predecessors have done,” Porsche board member Michael Steiner said ina press release. “Now we are delivering on this promise.”
The Tesla Model S Performance, by comparison, is a bit more affordable, starting at under $100,000 before incentives, and goes from zero to 60 in 2.4 seconds. Porsche says it already has more than 20,000 refundable deposits for the Taycan, a number that represents the first full year of production, more or less.
