Slung low, wide of hip, its body melting over huge tyres and lazily slipping through the air. The Taycan clearly has Porsche written all over it. But it"s spiced up by constituents shot from somewhere in the next decade: the floating headlamps, the huge curved instrument screen and the haptic interface. That"s how it goes, too. A Porsche, but one zapped by a beam from the future. Its acceleration is quick enough to blitz nearly everything Porsche makes, with a 2.8-second thump from 0-62mph, executed in that new-manners idiom of instant uninterrupted thrust. Critically, too, it corners and brakes like a Porsche, but again one with a dose of borderline-sci-fi jinks. We"ve already had that vividly demonstrated by Porsche"s development drivers and via a sneaky go ourselves, too.
