- Taycan Turbo S, Fiat 500 EV
I too was surprised Porsche recently said they are going to electrify the Panamera and keep it. It was never a big seller. My thoughts on why they would do this:someone will have to explain the market for an EV Panamera in addition to the Taycan. I just don’t see it.
- The platform the Panamera would use is really being developed for Audi and Bentley and Porsche feels they can tag along.
- They feel they have capacity for it in Leipzig even alongside the (electrified) Macan and Cayenne.
- There is an addressable market for a luxury (not as sporty) EV saloon and even if its small – Porsche can build for it because of the scale that VW/Audi are bringing.
