The Porsche Taycan is the brand’s electric sports car, available as a four-door sedan and as the Sport Turismo estate. It runs on an 800V architecture with a maximum DC fast-charge rate of 320 kW on compatible stations. The 2027 model year, arriving in Fall 2026, extends the Performance Battery Plus 105 kWh pack as standard across the Taycan, Taycan 4, and Taycan 4S grades.
The headline update is E-Shift, a system that simulates eight gear changes through paddle shifters. Each shift produces a physical jerk, gear-specific drag torque variation, and a virtual rev limiter. E-Shift is standard on the Turbo GT and optional on all other variants, but it requires the Sport Chrono package, either the Bose or Burmester audio system, and Porsche Electric Sport Sound as prerequisites. Electric Sport Sound itself is reinterpreted for 2027 with an adaptive character that responds to motor load and wheel speed, and each Taycan variant has its own sound profile.
On the charging side, the passenger-side DC port switches to native NACS, matching the growing US infrastructure rollout. The driver-side J1772 AC inlet remains. A CCS adapter is included. Wireless phone charging steps up from 15 W to 25 W.
Infotainment gains a new processor with five times the previous computing power, the Voice Pilot AI assistant (natural language, Google POI search, follow-up questions without repeating the wake word), and background OTA updates that require no service visit. The rear-drive sedan with the new optional summer tyres reaches 700 km of WLTP range, 20 km more than before.
German prices start at €102,600 for the base Taycan; the Performance Battery Plus configuration opens at €108,324. The Turbo GT with the Manthey Performance Kit is priced at €350,000. US pricing opens at $111,900.
