Porsche Taycan Turbo S Can Sprint Faster Now

The acceleration of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S variant has improved with the new update. With launch control, Turbo S can sprint from 0 to 124 miles in 9.6 seconds now, which is 0.2 seconds quicker than before at 9.8 seconds.

Additionally, it can complete a quarter-mile in 10.7 seconds, undercutting the previous time by 0.1 seconds. Thus, this electric sedan is sportier than ever before. Also, do remember that Porsche has a habit of under-selling the performance of its cars, so expect the real-world figures to be even better.

Head-Up Display

The automaker has provided an optional colored head-up display. This display directly projects the information in the driver’s field of vision. Its developers have divided the display into three sections: the main display, status section, and a section to show notifications like calls and messages.

Intelligent Chassis (Smartlift Function)

It’s one of the most impressive and useful features. The Smartlift function automatically raises the chassis whenever there is a bump, obstacle, on roads, or garage driveways. This way the low and sporty looking bumpers of the car stay protected. Porsche has installed this Smartlift function as standard with adaptive air suspension.

22 kW On-Board AC Charger

Porsche will also provide a 22 kW onboard AC charger as an optional accessory by the end of this year. With this charger, Taycan will be fully charged in half the time compared to the standard 11 kW charger.

Functions On-Demand (FoD)

Innodrive feature

Functions On-Demand (FoD) are flexible upgrades that can be bought even after a purchase is made. Similar to Tesla, these features can be availed through Over-The-Air (OTA) updates, saving you from having to visit the workshop.

Porsche Intelligent Range Manager (PIRM) evaluates and optimizes different system parameters to offer maximum comfort and the shortest traveling time. “PIRM” is available for €10.72 per month or €398.69 per year as a purchasing option. Power Steering Plus, however, will not be available on a monthly subscription, and users can buy it by paying a full payment of €320.77.

Currently, the automaker offers only Porsche Intelligent Range Manager (PIRM) as FoD. However, the company said that soon it’s going to add more features like Active Lane Keep Assist, Power Steering Plus, and Porsche InnoDrive.

Both InnoDrive and Active Lane Keep Assist are available at €19.50 per month or a one-time payment of €808.10.
