Electric Porsche Taycan Powertrain Assembly

Porsche chose to carry the naming scheme from its internal-combustion cars over to the Taycan.

The first two versions will be the Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S, even though electric cars don’t have turbochargers. The flagship Turbo S will have up to 750 horsepower, while the lower-level Turbo will have up to 670 hp, according to Porsche. The Turbo S will do zero to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds, while the Turbo will do the same in 3.0 seconds, Porsche claims.

The quickest Tesla Model S variant, however, will reach 60 mph from a standstill in 2.4 seconds. The top speed of both versions of the Turbo is pegged at 161 mph.
