I saw this interview on the Porsche site and don't remember seeing it posted here. A couple of interesting comments IMO:
Also note that the Taycan design sketch shows no door handles. Are those going to be ditched too?

Notice the use of the term "sports car" not "sports sedan".My vision is that the Taycan will become the icon of this new era, almost like a synonym for a purely electric sports car. Just like what the 911 has achieved in its segment over the past decades.
Does that mean that the glass headlight covers seen on the prototypes are going to be ditched for the production Taycan? That would make the front look more like Mission e.aerodynamics and air flow quality are especially important for all-electric models because they greatly influence the range. For this reason, we did away with traditional headlights here and used a light source located in the air intake instead. The air enters laterally from the front and exits again behind the wheel housings. The air flow at the wheels is therefore calmer, bringing about significant aerodynamic benefits.
