Porsche AG’s upcoming Taycan electric sedan will be available with at least three power variants, Autocar reports.
The top-end model will deliver as much as 630 hp (up from original estimates of 600 hp), company officials tell the U.K. enthusiast magazine. Also in the works are 500- and 400-hp systems, according to the report. A base 300-hp version is being considered. The system has been fully engineered but hasn’t been approved, Autocar says.
All Taycan EVs will have a top speed of at least 155 mph. Porsche says the 630-hp variant will be able to zip from zero to 62 mph significantly faster than the 3.5 seconds envisioned for the 2015 Mission E concept, on which the Taycan is based.
Porsche will publicly unveil the Taycan at the Frankfurt auto show in September, with deliveries to start by year-end. More than 20,000 customers already have registered—and placed deposits—to buy the vehicle, which prompted Porsche to increase its production plans.
Earlier this month Porsche confirmed plans to launch a sport wagon version of the Taycan by the end of 2020. But the carmaker tells Autocar there will be no coupe variant.
