I bought the Taycan as a family car. 718 wouldn’t cut it. Thought I would share a picture of the Porsche new born car seat and base. The base has a nice recliner built in to compensate for the rear seat angle.

How much was it and where did you get it from.
Same here, the Taycan being the family car when I’m being a good Dad.

AFAIK, only the outer seats have Isofix so if it's possible you would need to attach it using only the seatbelt.

Not sure if this is fully approved but I’ve put the rear facing seats in the middle of past vehicles using the adjacent seat isofix/latch. I’ve never seen dedicated isofix bars just for a middle seat. The isofix metal bars are typically wide enough to attach two clips to each one if needed (I’ve done three across clipped boosters this way).

I think it depends on the car and car seat. If the car doesn’t have dedicated middle latch points, I think it has to state the middle can bridge two from adjacent seats as this is typically a non-standard spacing. I think the car seat has to list this alternate spacing as well. I’m not an expert though.

I don’t see where the Taycan lists this; but I didn’t look especially hard.

I would imagine that doubling the connection to a single latch not a good idea. That’s doubling the force it will see and it may not be rated or have been tested to handle that.

Makes sense. I’ll caveat my earlier post that I’ve only done it with booster seats which don’t actually require using latch since they’re simply guiding the seatbelt around the frame if the child(the latches simply keep the seat from moving around). I would definitely not attach two car seats to the same latch and doubt that would even be possible based on how wide car seats run.

What is the cover under the Baby Car Seat, is it by Porsche too?

this is the WayB Pico travel car seat in the front trunk. Perfect for drop off duties.

both look really well made and that Porsche one looks fantastic with the guards red contrast stitching! Winning!
I also like the canopy as it is nice and tight. It honestly puts my old Britax to shame! I am thankfully now retired both seats and boosters for my kids, but if they were a little younger, this would be a no-brainer!
