New Entry-Level Taycan 4 with AWD
For the first time ever the entry-level Taycan 4 now comes with an all-wheel-drive system. The Taycan 4 has an over-boost power output ranging from 400bhp to 430bhp depending on the battery pack option selected, which can be either Performance or Performance Plus. As per the WLTP cycle, the maximum operational ranges also depend on the battery pack, with the Performance pack achieving up to 559 kilometers and the Performance Plus pack achieving up to 643 kilometers.
The AWD system together with an additional motor improves acceleration which enables the Taycan 4 to attain the speed of 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. Even though the AWD system adds approximately 80 kilos, this weight is of no real concern to the car’s agility or range of the car. This new enhancement ensures that the entry level Taycan 4 is a perfect option for the drivers who want added security especially in tough weather conditions.
Taycan GTS Trims

GTS trim which is an abbreviation for Gran Turismo Sport comes in four different varieties: the basic sedan and Sport Turismo (station wagon) variants. Using the over-boost mode, the GTS has a power output of 515 kW, or about 690 hp which is almost a hundred horsepower more than the last Taycan GTS.
GTS trim has a thrilling acceleration which can take the speed from 0-100 km/h in only 3.3 seconds. There is also another benefit as Porsche managed to extend the distance by another 120 kilometers bringing it to 628 kilometers on a single charge under WLTP cycle, making it one of the best options for endurance driving when in high performance electric vehicles.
From a stylistic perspective, the GTS comes with a few signature black-tipped accents, a new shape for the bumper, and unique 20-inch rims taken from the Turbo S version. For those who want to take the custom look even further, the GTS also has the available 21-inch RS Spyder-style wheel as an option. The cabin also features Race-Tex elements, adding a sporty touch reminiscent of the Turbo GT trims found in other Porsche models.

Moreover, Porsche has developed a new performance pulse inverter and updated the software to improve pulse broadening. These upgrades enhance battery performance, thermal management, recuperation systems, and all-wheel-drive management.Thus, the Taycan takes around the same time as conventional cars to recharge at 800-volt charging stations, which thanks to a recent update, load at sites offering a 320 kW capacity.
The maximum recuperation during deceleration has also been improved, with a new figure of 400 kW, demonstrating enhanced energy harvesting, especially when the vehicle is decelerating at high speeds. This improvement not only enhances the efficiency but also enhances the distance that the vehicle can travel.
