As we predicted, the model in question is the rear-wheel-drive version launched in China last year and it brings the electric sedan\u2019s pricing down to well below six figures.<\/p>\n<p>It kicks off at $79,900 or $23,900 less than the 4S trim level that up until now served as the entry point into the <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/01\/12\/porsche-taycan-2020-deliveries\/\">Taycan<\/a> range. The starting price doesn\u2019t include the mandatory $1,350 delivery charges, and just like the other flavors of the EV, the new base model is eligible for a $7,500 tax credit. Porsche says it will have the tail-happy model at US dealerships this coming spring.<\/p>\n<p>The starting price is for the 2021 Taycan Performance Battery model with a 79.2-kWh battery pack and a single electric motor mounted at the back, delivering 402 horsepower (300 kilowatts) and 254 pound-feet (344 Newton-meters) of torque. Upgrade to the Performance Battery Plus model from $85,680 and the output of the motor increases to 469 hp (350 kW) and 263 lb-ft (357 Nm).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-Porsche-Taycan-base-model-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3776\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-Porsche-Taycan-base-model-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1162\" height=\"775\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the flavor you go for, the entry-level Taycan needs 5.1 seconds for the 0 to 60 mph (96 km\/h) sprint and tops out at 143 mph (230 km\/h). If you\u2019re interested in quarter-mile times, the Performance Battery does the job in 13.7 seconds while the Performance Battery Plus shaves off two-tenths of a second.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Porsche claims the RWD model has the lowest center of gravity of any road-legal model from the Zuffenhausen brand. By removing the electric motor fitted to the all-wheel-drive derivatives, the sedan\u2019s weight has been reduced by about 200 pounds (91 kilograms). It borrows the rear-mounted electric motor as well as the battery architecture from the 4S.<\/p>\n<p>The rear-wheel-drive model is officially the most powerful base Porsche ever made and the most aerodynamically efficient thanks to a drag coefficient of 0.24. Go for the optional air suspension and the Cd drops to just 0.22. It gets the same 19-inch Taycan Aero wheels with six-piston front \/ four-piston rear brakes as the more expensive 4S, but the alloys and calipers are finished in different colors. At an additional cost, 20- or 21-inch wheels can be ordered.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-Porsche-Taycan-base-model-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3775\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-Porsche-Taycan-base-model-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1260\" height=\"840\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Typical for a Porsche, the list of optional goodies is quite extensive, and it includes a head-up display, 19.2-kWh onboard charger, 14-way seats with massaging function, an upgraded sound system, and a variety of colors and interior trims to choose from. Support for over the air update comes is standard, as are the three years of free Electrify America charging.<\/p>\n<p>The only piece of the base Taycan puzzle that\u2019s missing is the EPA-certified range, but Porsche says the crucial numbers for both the Performance Battery and Performance Battery Plus will be disclosed prior to the car\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Porsche<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a teaser image published earlier this week, Porsche has officially unveiled a new base model for the Taycan lineup in the United States.
