Stefan Weckback, head of Porsche's electric vehicle program, shared some more details on the Taycan while answering questions by reservation holders in Norway.
In the interview, Weckbach was asked about the difference between the Mission E concept and the production version of the Taycan.
He said that it will be similar, but they have made aerodynamic changes and they changed some other features. He confirmed that the suicide doors didn’t make the cut for the production version:
“It will be very similar, only more suited to practical use, and we had to optimize the aerodynamics. The car will, for example, have conventional doors instead of hinged doors for safety reasons, and to get the lowest weight and ease of use.”
“[Winter package] will have heating seats in both front and rear seats, heating steering wheel and a heat pump will be available as an option.”
The executive also confirmed another few details about the production version: it will have a ~90 kWh battery pack and a 22 kW onboard charger.
He couldn’t confirm the price of the vehicle, but he said it will be priced between the Cayenne and Panamera.
Previous reports stated that Porsche is aiming to have a starting price of around $85,000, but they will offer several different versions of the vehicle.
Weckbach confirmed that only the higher priced versions will be available first.
