What is the Taycan?
It’s a sports car. There’s no doubt about
that. But it’s not the sports car you might expect. Its powertrain is
completely new, but, like that of every Porsche, is based on technology
tested in motorsports. Two permanent magnet synchronous motors (PSMs),
similar to those in the 919 Hybrid that won Le Mans, propel the car and
recover energy when braking. One of them powers the rear axle, the other
the front axle. With a combined output of more than 600 hp, they
catapult the Taycan to 100 km/h per hour in less than 3.5 seconds, and
to 200 km/h in less than 12 seconds. The PSMs are the turbos among
electric motors. They convert electrical energy into propulsion very
efficiently and smoothly, and build up relatively little heat in the
process. This means that they cool down quickly. Whether a Porsche has a
combustion engine or a purely electric powertrain, it needs to be able
to perform on a race track.
