The Porsche Taycan really captures the plutocratic mentality

Before the Spring Festival, Porsche**Taycan was officially unveiled, and it was also carried out with great fanfare before the endurance test, with a lot of information highlights and highlights, and experienced a Spring Festival information fermentation, as well as calm precipitation, today I just came to talk about this new legendary electric car that has become a benchmark template for countless Chinese cars. Porsche Taycan is the world's best-selling high-end luxury pure electric vehicle, its cumulative sales have exceeded 150,000, the number is not so amazing in the current wave, but people can really play with the high-end product line, or rather, it is to carry Porsche's transformation in the era of electrification and appear as a pioneer, after all, all Porsche models a year add up to about 300,000. In terms of global data, the Porsche 911 is still one of the most popular models, with more than 50,000 deliveries in 2023 and more than 40,000 Taycan. Needless to say, the success of the overall styling design of the Porsche Taycan is not a brand that likes to frequently subvert successful designs, so the mid-facelift Taycan retains the overall style, and then adjusts the details and adds more technical elements.

* The lights will use HD Matrix technology, which uses more sophisticated optics to enhance the lighting function, adjust the lighting area and width according to the road conditions, the high beam range is more than 600 meters, can also be projected on the ground, and more importantly, the brand's unique four-point graphic can be displayed at night to ensure recognition at night. The shape of the front bumper has also been fine-tuned, and you will find that the visual width has been further extended, and the front face will be more concise and refreshing, in line with everyone's aesthetic definition of future models. Whether the future really needs minimalism, in fact, I think there should be a discussion, but the trend brought about by the forward-looking exploration of science fiction movies for decades has largely affected the generation and landing of style, coupled with the original creation of concept cars and pioneer brands, which invisibly equates minimalism and futurism in the hearts of consumers. Preferring more complex and richer lines, or preferring a simpler and smoother surface, there is no right or wrong in nature, and in the end, the wind tunnel will bring different styles to the same starting line.

We all know that electric cars are fast, but the faster we run, the more we need to pay attention to aerodynamics, and then the coping strategy begins. To a certain extent, brands that make sports cars can connect with the design of electrification more smoothly, after all, wind is what supercar designers are best at. Coming to the side, the new car provides two options for coupe and hunting, the body lines have basically not changed, the wheels adopt a new five-spoke shape, the appearance is as good as ever, after all, the rim is the most direct position to show the change, the official data given in the function is, with this new set of wheels, WLTP endurance can be increased by up to 40km. Yes, when it comes to range, the mid-term facelift Porsche has greatly improved its range, with the entry-level model WLTP range increased from 503km to 678km, an increase of 35%; The Turbo S's WLTP range increased by 34 per cent from 467 km to 630 km, thanks in part to the wheels, which achieved a total range of 587 km in real-world road tests between Los Angeles and San Diego. The density of the battery is also said, Porsche Taycan is the first new energy vehicle to use the 800V platform, the official claim that the maximum charging current is increased by 20%, the weight of the battery is reduced by 9kg, and the total energy density is increased by 13%, of which the ordinary version of the model is equipped with an 89kWh battery pack, with a usable capacity of 836kWh, the high-end model is equipped with a 105kWh battery pack with a usable capacity of 986kwh。In the past, some people always said that the mileage of the Porsche Taycan is a little unworthy of its **, but in fact, I think the mileage has never been its problem, after all, the users who buy new energy vehicles at such a price do not have so many problems, and Porsche actually hopes to return to the essence of new energy vehicles in the early days - more efficient energy replenishment, and the efficiency brought by the 800V platform has always been its killer feature. When the time comes to 2024, the version has been updated, the battery technology and motor technology have been greatly improved, so the professionalism and reliability in the energy replenishment efficiency are what Porsche is proud of. Strictly speaking, in 2024, when the technological gap is erased by technological iteration, more detailed operations and polishing of details are needed, after all, the tide of the times has changed, and it is unknown who will be the final winner, but Porsche's layout and progress in the electrification process will ensure that Porsche, a high-end brand, and its high-end product line will always stand on the leading stage. The endurance test is a whole job, and the performance test is also a whole job.
