Engines

Both of the 911 Targa variants will increase in power with the new generation of the three-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder boxer engines. The Targa 4 engine will produce up to 379 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque. The Targa 4S engine will output 443 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque.

All-Wheel Drive

To create even better traction, the front-axle drive system, which was introduced in the 911 Carrera 4 and 4S models, has had further development. Both the clutch and differential unit have reinforced clutch discs and are water-cooled to allow for more strength and higher load capacity.

Increased comfort and sharper handling

The electronically controlled variable damping Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system is a standard feature on the 2021 911 Targa 4 and 4S models. There are two modes that can be activated by the touch of a button to optimize each drive.

Extravagant design

The Targa bar and roof are the most striking features of the 911 Targa. To give homage to its classic 1960s and 1970s models, the Targa bar will come standard in silver but can black as an optional choice. The body features will be more pronounced with LED headlights and a front luggage compartment lid.

Performance features of the 2020 Porsche Taycan

Sep 30, 2020

For those unfamiliar, the Porsche Taycan is an all-electric performance sedan. Although a lot of new electric models are deliberately designed to look unusual and futuristic, the Porsche Taycan looks a lot like other Porsche models, making its identity as an electric vehicle not part of its visual identity. Continue reading to find out how well this all-electric vehicle does when its powertrain is put to the test.

What can I expect from the 2020 Porsche Taycan?

How Fast is the 2020 Porsche Taycan?

Thanks to launch control, the 2020 Porsche Taycan is able to take off with high acceleration usually only seen by the highest performance gasoline vehicles ever made. The base trim, named the 4S, can go from 0-60 MPH in just 3.8 seconds. The Taycan Turbo is able to achieve a 3 second 0-60 MPH acceleration, but that isn’t the highest trim level. The Taycan Turbo S shaves down its 0-60 MPH time to 2.6 seconds.

2020 Porsche Taycan Performance features

Sneak a peek at the 2020 Porsche Taycan exterior color options

How Much Horsepower Does the 2020 Porsche Taycan Have?

Pushing the Taycan 4S to its maximum with Overboost Power and launch control can make the vehicle generate 522 horsepower. Just like with acceleration, the two other trims are faster. The Turbo trim can produce a whopping 670 horsepower. This kind of power requires Overboost Power and launch control as well. The Turbo S can achieve an unbelievable 750 horsepower. Without the chance to do some track driving, you cannot get the 2020 Porsche Taycan up to its maximum horsepower, but the thrill of the drive is still there every time the Taycan starts up.

What are some of the performance features of the 2020 Porsche Taycan?

What is the Top Track Speed of the 2020 Porsche Taycan?

When it comes to acceleration and horsepower, the three trims perform differently, but that is not so when it comes to top track speeds. The Taycan 4S is still sluggish compared to the other trims, but it can still reach 155 MPH. The Turbo and Turbo S trims max out their track speeds at 161 MPH, but this will still outdo most all-electric cars.

2020 Porsche Taycan performance

Designed to be uncompromising, the 2020 Porsche Taycan has an outstanding drivetrain and a perfect interaction of drive components. To learn more about all the 2020 Porsche Taycan performance features, keep reading.

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors

Installed in the 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S, the two Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors paired with the 93.4 kWh performance battery gives superior driving dynamics. Both these allow for the 2020 Porsche Taycan to switch effortlessly between efficiency and a powerful drive.

Transmission

For noticeably improved driving dynamics, the automatically switching two-speed transmission helps provide high power density and high continuous output.

Overboost

To push the limits, the overboost in the 2020 Porsche Taycan is activated with the Launch Control to output 750 horsepower to push the vehicle to go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds. With repetition, the 2020 Porsche Taycan has the ability to have a top track speed of 161 mph.

Battery

We mentioned the 93.4 kWh performance battery but there’s more to it that is worth mentioning. Most performance batteries have the usual 400 volts, the battery in the 2020 Porsche Taycan has 800-volt technology. This improves charging and drive performance while having smaller cable cross-sections keeping the overall weight lighter.
