The best pure electric technology in the world may not necessarily be Porsche
But Porsche will still give the best electric car?
3.38 seconds ┇Porsche Taycan
Cars made by Germans usually have some unique textures, which include both hardware adjustments and mental driving psychology research. After nine years of hard work, Porsche has entered the field of electric vehicles. In the field, its products have a more extreme duality of madness and restraint.
Porsche Taycan Turbo was born here. 680 horsepower, 850 Nm, 100km/h in 3.38 seconds. In any mode, the powerful power reserve allows you to squander and waste anytime and anywhere, just like a credit card with unlimited overdraft.
Every time you accelerate, the surroundings seem to be still. Scenes 100 meters or even further away will disappear in the rearview mirror in the next second. This deep force is accompanied by the pleasure generated by dopamine. Feeling nervous when you first come into contact with it, you will be deeply involved in it, dance with it, and become intoxicated.
Back in the era of gasoline engines, although both the Ferrari Portofino and Roma are in the over 3-second club, and they are comparable on paper, pure electric vehicles do not give you any time to wait for the power curve after you step on the accelerator pedal. Take a breather and your body is thrown on the backrest. This kind of acceleration feeling is not something that twin turbochargers can bring.
The powerful motor performance ensures straight-line speed, but when it comes to curves, Porsche will not allow this 2.4-ton heavyweight to become the laughing stock of "king on the straights but dead on the curves".
This is a "fully equipped" Stuttgart strong horse. It won't have any clumsiness or drag in corners. The active anti-roll bar, three-chamber air suspension and rear-wheel steering are all working hard. Resisting the laws of physics, it is like a track car. The track is the turning route in your mind. It is fast, stable, and drives through corner after corner without a trace of slippage. It is very enjoyable! Without pushing it to the limit, the faster and more enjoyable is the true meaning of a Porsche. Otherwise, is it better to buy an Audi?
When it returns to calmness, it will put away its edge and radicality. In addition to the hard seats, the smooth output and tough chassis can be regarded as a good product for daily transportation. The rear axle is equipped with a 2-speed gearbox independently developed by Porsche. The 1st gear transmission ratio is 15:1, ensuring excellent acceleration performance. When a certain speed is reached, it will be upgraded to 2nd gear. In "Range" mode , it will start in 2nd gear to reduce energy consumption.
Even though it can output thousands of troops, under the efficient operation of Porsche Kinetic Energy Recovery Management (PRM), some braking does not require the participation of the braking system at all. Taycan can go from 200-0km/h Braking once will increase the cruising range by 4km. Therefore, most of the time, the white-painted front 10 and rear 4 pistons will not turn red and feel a little lonely.
Industry 4.0 work┇Porsche Taycan
The body structure of Taycan is mainly composed of aluminum and steel. The suspension supports, axle supports and rear anti-collision beams are made of die-cast aluminum alloy materials, while the shock absorber supports are made of forged aluminum alloy materials. A front double wishbone and a rear multi-link form are adopted. Due to the existence of the motor and the high rigidity requirements of the battery, the entire subframe has also been redesigned.
In order to ensure the cruising range, a battery pack must be large enough, and these "big guys" can only be placed under the car. While the height of the vehicle body will not increase too much, the driver must also have a comfortable sitting posture and sufficient headroom. This is almost the most difficult point to solve in the interior layout of the car. By reserving footwells, space is separately expanded for the soles of the feet, thereby solving problems such as interior space, roof lines, and sitting postures. An 8-beam battery frame structure is also used to ensure the safety of lateral collisions.
The Porsche Surface Coated Brake System (PSCB) is standard, with front/rear axle brake disc diameters of 415mm and 365mm respectively, and 10 front and rear 4-piston fixed brake calipers.
Due to the use of tungsten carbide coating, the wear and residual dust of the brake disc can be reduced. Compared with the traditional cast iron brake disc, the service life will be extended by 20 to 30 years, and after 600 to 700km of driving, The surface of the disk will have a polished glossy effect.
Because the Taycan does not have a fuel engine, it works more intensively on the power architecture. 800V serves the motor and high-performance battery, 400V is used by the air-conditioning compressor, and 48V and 12V focus on the dynamic chassis control system. and conventional vehicle electrical systems.
In other words, this Taycan needs to use 4 different voltages.
The art of spending money┇Porsche Taycan
Porsche selection is not only a game of rationality and sensibility, but also one of the joys of creating an exclusive car.
Some people like to spend money on the visible exterior and interior, while others like to make a fuss about the chassis. Car owners talk about it, and Porsche naturally enjoys it too.
Returning to the vehicle itself, the volcanic ash paint and 21-inch Mission? The hexagram looks like it was written by an experienced car owner who is well versed in the Porsche selection game.
The front fender arches from the headlights, forming a beautiful parabolic line. This is one of Porsche’s traditional projects. Even if the car logo is covered, you can tell at a glance that this is a Porsche. , and this design has been inherited since 365. Taycan has more 911 charm than Panamera, wider, lower and more aggressive.
The small light cavity houses the Porsche Dynamic Lighting System Plus (PDLS Plus) LED matrix headlights, with the iconic four-point LED daytime running lights. Car lights?. For higher-end models, glacier blue LED matrix headlights are available as an option.
The wide and flat tail also inherits the family tradition. Wrapped in soft curves, there is a strong proportion of the lower body. The through-type taillights further highlight this feature, with concave and convex shapes and a fleshy feel.
The charging mechanism for electric opening and closing needs to be optional, and the price is 5,800 yuan. Slide under the black trim strip, and the charging cover can be opened elegantly, making it more gentlemanly. However, since the electric mechanism takes up a certain amount of space and some air ducts are sealed, the wind resistance coefficient of the Taycan with the optional electric charging cover is 0.25Cd, or 0.22Cd without it.
The charging of Porsche Taycan is also supported by technology, that is, 800V voltage charging technology. After using the national standard plug, the maximum charging current is limited to 250A. The 800V charging piles at the Porsche Center are under construction and commissioning. It is expected that by the end of 2020, the installation of 800V charging piles at more than 90 dealers in more than 60 cities will be completed.
Taking inspiration from the original 911 in 1963, the Taycan’s instrument panel takes up a very large proportion, so the central control screen above had to be moved to the right to form an asymmetric layout design. Also optional are black/Bordeaux red two-tone leather interior and Bordeaux red seat belts.
The 16.8-inch curved digital instrument screen provides a classic round instrument style. You can feel the unique industrial beauty from the fine processing of the curved surface and edges. The instrument screen glass and vapor deposition polarizing filter also have Anti-reflective coating, so it no longer requires a hood design.
The air outlet is completely fixed. The traditional manual adjustment is replaced by an electronically controlled air outlet. The air outlet position and mode (directional/divergent) can be selected on the screen. The system uses two execution motors in the air guide duct. Control the two wind deflectors separately to adjust the wind direction and mode.
The front row is a 14-way adjustable comfortable seat with a "Turbo" print on the headrest. However, even the comfortable seat is still Porsche-style. The internal filling is hard and very comfortable. generally.
2 2 is the standard layout, and you can choose the second row of middle seats for an extra 4,400 yuan. Even if you have the money and willfulness, I don’t recommend you do this!
Written at the end┇Porsche Taycan
The Taycan’s positioning is very clear. It is not a four-door sedan, and it does not want to be labeled with a romantic temperament such as a coupe, although it has With four doors, it is still a completely pure electric sports car.
This Porsche Taycan is produced at the Zuffenhausen factory with a guide price of 1.498 million. The total price after options is 1.6439 million. The only reason why I am not tempted is probably that it is full of ideals and skinny in reality. , too many desires, too thin wallet.
