Porsche Taycan Facelift: Final Tests Passed

After computer simulations and extensive bench tests, the updated Taycan is currently undergoing the final stages of real-world testing on test tracks and public roads, according to Porsche. It is set to become more efficient and more powerful: "Faster, higher, further – we have improved the new Taycan in almost all disciplines compared to its predecessor," reveals series manager Kevin Giek, adding:

"And because the changes are so comprehensive, the strenuous testing program is almost equivalent to that of an entirely new model."

All three body variants will directly benefit from the extensive modifications from the market launch.

The temperature range of the tests varied from plus 53 degrees Celsius in Death Valley, California/USA, to minus 41 degrees Celsius in Finland north of the Arctic Circle. Porsche has even broken down how the testing was conducted: Out of the 3.6 million test kilometers, 300,000 kilometers were allocated to so-called cold country testing and 200,000 to so-called hot country testing.

Porsche promises much faster charging times in cold temperatures

Around 350 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle in Finland, the electric sports car not only demonstrated its dynamic potential on snow and ice but also shorter charging times: According to Porsche, these have been halved in cool temperatures!
