Porsche Taycan 4S: Volt wisely
Porsche's Taycan shows how the sportscar company is reinventing itself for the electric era. But will it forsake its illustrious heritage in the process?
Singapore
IT'S now just six months from launch in Singapore, but the all-electric Porsche Taycan offers a tantalising look at what driving enthusiasts can expect much further in the future, when powerful cars are more likely to be high-voltage than high-octane.
A peek at the Porsche price list reveals three versions on sale here. Try not to wince, however, since the cheapest version, the Taycan 4S, goes for S$485,988. Moving up the model ladder, the Turbo and Turbo S cost S$623,988 and S$767,988 respectively. None of those prices includes a certificate of entitlement or optional extras. Carbon-trimmed wing mirrors for S$6,053, anyone?
