The Porsche Taycan continues its tour and makes it to the Goodwood Festival

A few days ago, we witnessed how the Porsche Taycan, with virtually no camouflage, showed off its performance in China. At that time, the German manufacturer already announced that it aimed to take its first 100% electric vehicle to other countries and continents to showcase its potential, and what better place than the Goodwood Festival. This is an event that gathers numerous vehicles of spectacular character, and the Taycan did not want to miss the opportunity to demonstrate what it can do on a circuit as twisty and fast as Goodwood, where agility and precision are two fundamental qualities for coming out victorious.

Many Porsche models have already tackled the English circuit, but the Taycan carries a greater responsibility. One of the doubts that most troubles the minds of the brand’s fans is whether an electric vehicle can keep the sporting spirit inherent to Porsche and, to offer a definitive answer, former Formula 1 driver Mark Webber has once again taken the controls of the Taycan.

600 CV and all-wheel drive will be the elements the electric saloon from Porsche uses to continue delivering an impeccable level of performance. Webber himself, who had already had the chance to drive the GT2 RS to complete the Goodwood circuit, claims that the sensations behind the wheel of the Taycan are as impressive as those of the supercar, and that its acceleration capability is on another level.

But the new Taycan is not expected to be exclusively a sports car; it is also suited to everyday use. This will be possible thanks to an 800-volt architecture that allows fast charging, and to the 90 kWh lithium-ion battery, which will be key to offering a range capable of covering long journeys as well as our urban commutes.

In this way, Porsche aims to offer one of the most versatile sports cars in its history. However, before revealing all its secrets, it will make one last stop in New York, since the United States will be another of its main markets and there it will once again show off its abilities alongside professional driver Neel Jani on July 13 and 14.

It will be in September of this year, on the occasion of the Frankfurt Motor Show, that the manufacturer will unveil its new Taycan. The first deliveries will begin at the end of 2019 and will be aimed at those customers who have made the reservation and the deposit, as the German company indicated some months ago.
