Porsche introduced the rear-wheel-drive Taycan<\/a> in China back in late June 2020, but it\u2019s only now the entry-level variant of the electric sedan is being launched globally. Preliminary tests show it\u2019s been well worth the wait, at least when it comes to accelerating in a straight line. Despite less than ideal conditions, the base version managed to impress in a performance test from Carwow<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Dressed for the occasion in an optional lilac-like Frozen Berry paint, the tail-happy Taycan did the sprint to 60 mph in 5.18 seconds as per the specialist timing gear mounted on the dashboard. Even though the road was damp and Carwow\u2019s<\/em> Mat Watson had to gently steer the Porsche a bit to the left, it still comfortably beat the official time of 5.4 seconds.<\/p>\n
