We are able to’t inform a lot from the picture, which silhouettes the automotive in opposition to a background of tire smoke. It wears an enormous rear wing and appears like it could have bigger tires and a decrease trip peak than the usual Taycan.

However bettering the velocity of an EV is usually as a lot about programming as it’s about tire selection. We anticipate the automotive will supply a horsepower increase, one thing just like the 1,020 of the Plaid or the 1,234 determine of the Sapphire.

We’ll discover out extra quickly – Porsche guarantees to unveil “probably the most dynamic Taycan of all time” in lower than per week.
