Porsche Singapore Announces Contactless Servicing and Unaccompanied Test Drives

Singapore, 22 September - You know that times are changing when even an iconic sports car manufacturer launches an EV.  The all new Porsche Taycan is a long-awaited development from Stuttgart. Launched virtually, the new Taycan promises an exhilarating driving experience. From the Porsche Electric Sport Sound, which is a play on the sound the electric motors make, to it’s sheer acceleration; to the flagship Turbo S model accelerating to 100km/h in all of 2.8 seconds, which are the same acceleration figures as the blisteringly quick 911 GT2 RS.  The Taycan Turbo S generates up to 1,050Nm of torque, with Launch Control, and has a top speed of 260km/h. On a full charge, you can expect a maximum range of 405km.  The middle-of-the-pack Taycan Turbo generates up to 500 kW (680 PS) of overboost power in combination with Launch Control, and up to 850Nm, clocking 100km/h in 3.2 seconds.  While the third model, the Taycan 4S clocks 100km/h in 4 seconds, with the help of 390kW (530 PS), and has a range of 365km. The available Performance Battery Plus adds 49km to its maximum range, while performance increases to 420kW (571 PS).

Stuttgart. Porsche is revolutionising sporty seating: the company presents an innovative alternative to conventional bucket seat upholstery with the concept study “3D-printed bodyform full-bucket seat”. Here, the central section of the seat, in other words the seat and backrest cushions, is partly produced by a 3D-printer. Customers will be able to choose between three firmness levels (hard, medium, soft) for the comfort layer in the future. With this new technology, the sports car manufacturer is once again underlining its close ties to motor sports: the personalised sports seat follows the principles of driver-specific seat fitting customary in professional motor sports. 

What if you took a high-powered sports sedan, and added more boot to boot… well Porsche has just done this to their first ever EV, the Taycan. Well sure... That is common enough, but they wouldn’t stop there would they? You see, Porsche has decided to add a little go-anywhere lunacy to the new Taycan Cross Turismo, for those who want to squeeze that little bit more out of a high-performancve EV. Just like the regular Taycan, the Cross Turismo benefits from 800-volt architecture. Four variants will be available, with all models will have the Performance Battery Plus which has a total capacity of 93.4kWh as a standard feature. For Singapore, the Taycan will start from around $385k, sans the COE.
