I agree. I think a Taycan Coupe would cannibalize and/or dilute the impact of a future 911 EV. Don’t see Porsche doing that.I don't think that a 2 door or 2+2 belongs in the Taycan range (any more than it would in the Panamera range)...when Porsche do a "proper" EV sports car I'd expect it to have a different name and look. I'm interested to see how well an EV can perform as a sports car (e.g. the new Lotus)- the power and weight characteristics don't seem a great fit, but once ICE is dead I guess there won't be an alternative.
Fair point. However, the car has been a big success for Porsche so I would think we would be seeing many variants (much like the 911) of the Taycan in effort to maximize sales in every possible niche. I have yet to see more than two people in a Taycan sedan around my neck of the woods, so I believe many of those buyers would go for the two-door version. Also, Porsche would charge I bet about $5k more for the two-door version, because they can. Then again, maybe the EV version of the 918 will fill the two-door role.Maybe, but since it seems they already cannot meet demand with the model lineup they currently have, why bother?
The above looks like Audi TT and a Taycan had a baby!Fair point.
