[Almost Official] "960" Taycan Coupe / Convertible on the way

[Kakatus10]

My colleague in Weissach says they’re revitalizing the “960” moniker [the name of the dev car that became the Taycan] and applying it to a coupe/convertible variant. I cannot confirm this as true, but everything from my contacts within PAG has more or less come to fruition.

This is fantastic news if they can get this car under 4Klbs. with a short wheel base two-door.

Thoughts?

They'd be lucky to hit 4k lbs if its a mass volume vehicle (using more conventional materials), likely closer to 4250 lbs, but still a massive improvement over the 5k lb variants of the Taycan.

Rational, the Lotus Elise was a 2k lb vehicle, after adding an electric drivetrain with a 53 kwh it became 750 lbs heavier.

They Cayman is a 3.2k lb vehicle, the Taycan 93 KWH pack weights 1400 lbs (compared to the 700 lb pack in the 2008 Tesla Roadster). So, assuming the pack is ~75-85 KWH, it will weight at least 1000-1200 lbs, so I expect a final weight of ~4250 lbs.

For what it's worth, I haven't heard any of these rumors from my chats with Porsche. It makes sense generally speaking though. For me, I purchased the Taycan over a 911 Cab, but would certainly jump on the opportunity of a Taycan Cab.
