Taycan Turbo S currently the fastest production electric car around the Nürburgring Nordschleife, with a time of 7m 33s.
German Sports car manufacturer Porsche AG is celebrating a new production milestone after the 100,000th all-electric Porsche Taycan rolled off its production line on 7 November, 2022.
The milestone car is a Taycan Turbo S finished in Neptune Blue and destined for a customer in the United Kingdom. The milestone was achieved about three years after production first started in September 2019.
“We are very pleased to have reached this milestone in production history so quickly – despite the recent challenges posed by the semiconductor shortage and the volatile Covid situation. With the Taycan, we have made a decidedly successful start in the electric age”, says Kevin Giek, Vice President Model Line Taycan.
Now available in three body styles – the Taycan sports sedan, Taycan Cross Turismo and Taycan Sport Turismo, the top three markets for the all-electric sports car are currently the US and China and the UK/Republic of Ireland.
While the Taycan 4S with a range of 513 kilometres is the version with the longest range, the Taycan Turbo S is the currently the fastest production electric car around the Nürburgring Nordschleife, with a time of 7 minutes 33 seconds.
But it’s not only in production that the Taycan has quickly reached the 100,000 mark as many customers having already covered far more than 100,000 kilometres in the electric sports car.
One of them is transport entrepreneur Jean-Hubert Revolon, who has already driven more than 188,119 kilometres in his Taycan 4S since mid-August 2020.
The 43-year-old has already driven his Porsche in almost all of France’s neighbouring countries, covering up to 1,200 kilometer m (745 miles) per day.
Revolon’s reasons for buying the car were its design, “the technical innovations”, car’s performance and suspension, which offer “fiendishly good grip and maximum agility, something only the wizards at Porsche can manage”, he says.
