Porsche’s first electric car is pricey but impressive

CNN  

Wrightwood, California CNN Business — Just in case you were worried electric cars were going to be boring, Porsche made the Taycan. But the Porsche Taycan Turbo S can get to 60 almost as fast as a Tesla and it can rip through a twisting canyon road at high speed as easily as cruising a beachfront boulevard. Despite having four doors, the Porsche Taycan looks and feels surprisingly like a proper sports car. Peter Valdes-Dapena/CNN Despite having back doors, the Taycan is a 750 horsepower sports car that takes full advantage of the performance potential offered by electric power while mitigating its downsides – like size and weight, for example. And if you ever get to drive a Porsche Taycan Turbo S, I promise you’ll be OK with it, too.
