As a fan of the automotive world, have you ever heard of the Porsche Taycan electric car? Yes, this car is a type of sports car that uses full electricity or electric power in all its parts.
First introduced in 2015 under the name Porsche Mission E at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Then, after production was underway and completed in 2019. This car was published at the same event using the Porsche Series Electric Car theme.
Of course, this car also has different levels and series if you look at its performance. If you look at the series, the Porsche Taycan has 3 car models namely Porsche Taycan Turbo S, Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, and Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo.
These three cars give different impressions in terms of performance, exterior, and price. Electric cars are now starting to be used in several developed countries. In Indonesia itself, this car was only introduced privately last February.
Overall, the designer of the Porsche Taycan electric car is named Michael Mauer. A famous automobile designer from Germany who worked for the Saab and Mercedes-Benz automobile companies. If you look at his quality, of course, Michael is a genius.
Taycan itself comes from Turkish which uses the concept of "Lively Young Hours". This is demonstrated by its elegant exterior appearance and high performance. Even though this car does not use a turbocharger, the name Turbo is still given to both series.
The body of this electric car is made from specially processed steel and aluminum. Special techniques for installing the roof, sides, and seat of the car frame are designed to increase driver safety against the risk of accidents.
Apart from that, the entire frame and components of the car also consist of aluminum which aims to reduce weight to increase speed. According to existing data, this car has approximately 37% aluminum and the rest consists of steel.
For battery specifications, the Porsche Taycan electric car uses a new battery with a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The single-speed gear ratio of the Taycan is 8.05:1 with a two-speed slip differential transmission at the rear.
Then there is also a first gear gearbox which has maximum acceleration. The engine is also equipped with high acceleration when entering second gear with speed and efficiency. This type of Porsche car uses a 93 kWH 630 Kg Lithium-ion battery pack.
The weight of the battery is useful for keeping the center of gravity low with a mounting location on the rear chassis. When evaluated on the track, this electric car was able to rotate with stable performance and could last until the battery was completely empty.
For the Charger Port, this car has 2 parts, namely on the left side and the right side. Each port has its own channel, both DC and AC. With 2 charging channels, you can do it anywhere and anytime there is space.
Overall, this car looks typical of the style that Porsche cars display in general. For the Taycan series, the side exterior of the car can look like a typical Porsche-style Fender model. The car is also made to look sexy and smooth from front to back.
The Taycan itself is decorated with a futuristic appearance so that it can attract the hearts of today's teenagers. If you look, the door handles on both sides of the car are very stylish with their minimalist curves.
Then, the Porsche Taycan electric car is also equipped with a "Swipe" control system to open the charging hole from the front fender. The futuristic touch creates a new atmosphere with a minimalist and elegant appearance.
This electric car uses Matrix LED headlights with a touch of straight lines. From the front alone, the car can already be recognized as a Porsche product. For the rear side, futuristic details are displayed with curved lines and the name Taycan.
Apart from that, the bottom side of the steps and mirrors are also given carbon fiber to make them look better. The upper hood uses a panoramic roof and gives an exotic impression. The door glass frames are also made without frames so the shape is the same as sports cars in general.
For those of you who want to buy the latest sports car with a youthful, futuristic, elegant, and luxurious exterior? Maybe the Porsche Taycan could be the best choice. In fact, the interior appearance is also very luxurious and you won't regret buying it.
Overall, this car uses a digital screen without any analog. Of course, the shape is made futuristic with a distinctive Porsche dashboard. The power steering grip is also covered in leather so the grip is comfortable.
The car's transmission is made small under the steering wheel with a minimalist shape. In fact, all programs and settings for this car are also done from the dashboard touchscreen. For the AC hole alone, it is made simple and the settings are done from the touch screen, both temperature settings and direction.
As for speed, the Taycan Turbo S series can reach speeds of 260 mph. The engine power of this series is also 751 HP with a torque of 1050 Nm. The car can go from 0 to the top in just 2 minutes.
Apart from the Turbo S series, there is also a version below, namely the Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo with a maximum speed of 250 Kmph and 616 horsepower. The torque provided is 850 Nm, so it is average for medium sports cars in general.
There is also a lower version of this car, namely the 4S Cross Turismo with a maximum speed of 240 kmph. Its power is 482 horsepower with 650 Nm of torque. This series is indeed cheap because the marketing target is made for today's young people.
However, if you look at its power and speed, this car can already compete in the automotive market. The Turbo S's maximum speed cannot be underestimated with stable battery power. Therefore, this car is very special, especially in terms of performance.
all three Porsche series are available so you can buy them. But before that, the main question is whether this car is worth buying? Of course, the answer depends on your own interest in sports cars.
Basically, the Porsche Taycan is an electric car that requires more power from a battery charge. The car also has the maximum distance it can travel because of the large battery capacity. You have to consider wisely the use of this car.
If you want to drive in the city, then this car can be used as intended. But if you want to travel outside the city, you should first think about the energy and power available. The Porsche Taycan electric car has a maximum range of 416 km so it's not too far.
At least this car can be used to travel long distances from the city of Jakarta to the cities of Tegal or Sukoharjo. Apart from the distance traveled, you also have to pay attention to the fuel. Currently, in Indonesia, there are still few places that provide electric car charging stations.
If there is, the charging power will also be expensive and it will take you a long time. Indonesia is currently still not suitable for electric cars. The reasons are the distance traveled, battery power and there are also spare parts that are still difficult to get when the car experiences problems.
That's why you are advised to think about it first before buying it. Nowadays, electric cars are still in their infancy, so few people use them. In Asia and the Middle East alone, only a small number of people use electric cars.
