Taycan 4S $190,400 - 79.2 kWh - 0-100 km/h in 4.0s

Porsche’s Taycan 4S, Turbo and Turbo S range have landed in Australia, with this weekend heralding the first published press reviews and customer deliveries. To get into Porsche’s first all-electric sports car, you’ll have to fork out $190,400 before on road costs for the Taycan 4S. The Taycan Turbo will cost $268,500 and the Taycan Turbo S will set you back $338,500.
The Taycan 4S comes armed with a 79.2 kWh (gross capacity) battery, while the Turbo models receive the Performance Battery Plus; an upgrade to a 93.4 kWh battery pack. This is available as an $11,590 option for the Taycan 4S.
We spotted this Taycan 4S press car in Frozen Blue Metallic on the streets of Sydney, and it cuts a very striking, modern shape. While not as overtly aggressive as its Audi E-Tron GT sibling, the Taycan shape has elegance and presence in its aerodynamism. The Frozen Blue Metallic looks even better in person, catching the light across the Taycan’s curves.
Porsche recently added the Taycan rear-wheel-drive model to their overseas line ups, but Porsche Cars Australia has yet to announce if and when it may arrive here. Personally, we’re hanging out for the Taycan Cross Turismo; a wagon variant sporting a sexy shape, light off-road ability and raised suspension.
