Porsche Taycan
Porsche's first electric car is still a special one.
The Porsche Taycan is, arguably, one of the company's most important products ever, as it makes the transition from being a producer of emotive sports cars (and SUVs of course) powered by internal combustion to one powered solely by electricity. It's an astounding creation, though not cheap to buy.

This may be about as cheap as Taycans get, but does the new base model make as much sense as its more powerful siblings?Porsche Taycan videos
