The engine

Dual-Motor Electric

The Taycan's two motors — including a rare two-speed gearbox on the rear axle — deliver brutal, repeatable launches and Porsche-sharp response, holding their full performance lap after lap.

Porsche's first series EV rides on an 800-volt architecture co-developed for Le Mans-winning 919 Hybrid racers, prioritizing thermal stability and repeatable performance over a single hero number.

The Taycan was the first production car with an 800-volt system — half the charging time and lighter wiring.
Its rear axle uses a two-speed transmission, almost unheard-of in EVs, for both launch and top-end efficiency.
