PORSCHE TAYCAN FACELIFT AND TAYCAN TURBO GT COMING SOON! EPISODE 82

EV Channels Review

The Out Of Spec Podcast hosts discuss the upcoming facelift for the Porsche Taycan and the rumored Taycan Turbo GT. While the Taycan is praised for its timeless design, the facelift appears to be a minor cosmetic update, focusing on bumpers and headlights, which some hosts feel might detract from the current model's distinctive look. The discussion highlights that the underlying 800-volt architecture remains unchanged, indicating a focus on iterative improvements rather than a technological overhaul. The Taycan Turbo GT is anticipated as Porsche's direct response to the Tesla Model S Plaid, aiming to reclaim performance leadership with a tri-motor setup. The hosts also touch upon the broader electrification strategy at Porsche, including the upcoming Macan EV and the continued relevance of the Panamera, which will also transition to an all-electric platform. Despite some software gripes with the current Taycan, the overall sentiment towards Porsche's electric future remains positive, especially compared to other brands within the Volkswagen Group.
