The Taycan on the P site show a long, sleek suicide doored sedan. Very sexy . The actual car seems to have normal doors and is much shorter looking than the one on the site. It looks like a modified Panamara

 

Did you see the debut this morning?

 

The Taycan is certainly an attractive, state of the art, electric vehicle. My point was the actual production car is more conservative in appearance than the Mission e car shown on the website for a long time. Suicide doors and a longer wheelbase would have made quite a statement rather than a vehicle very much in line with the current Panamera.

 

Agree. The production Taycan is completely watered down and lost the edge of the concept.

 

Really!? They look almost identical sans the suicide doors and mirrors.

 

not loving it, no Mission E

 

It's cool but I do prefer the styling of the Model S. I purchased a Model 3 a few weeks ago and LOVE IT. I still have my turbo P-car.... of course!

May acquire a S in the future.

 

The proportions of the front bumper, lights, wheels and fenders are off.

When comparing the two, you can tell they used panamera parts and got rid of the suicide doors to save money on production and increase their profit.

Typical Porsche: they'll release the better looking, refreshed version later in the future. They know what they're doing.

 

Indeed they do know what they are doing.

 

Model 3 looks great in white.

 

Thanks Lonnie.

 

In other words, it looks exactly like the mission E with the exception of the suicide doors and longer wheelbase, and mirrors? = different from...

 

The Mission E was a concept car. Did we really expect a car with no side view mirrors? Of course, it's different, and I agree the Mission E was much better looking than the Taycan, but they are close. (ish) It does look too much like a Panamera. What has shocked me is the price. It's cray cray high.

 

There are some cars that don’t require review mirrors with the advent of cameras. I thought the Taycan would be one of the first production cars with it.
in terms of Cost, that’s typical Porsche. Think of the right price and add 50% and guys like Seinfeld will buy it.

 

Well, that's true, I have seen digital cameras and screens in place of mirrors. I agree that they scaled back the dramatic look of the E mission prototype to make the Taycan. They did this with the Boxster prototype too. I remember the concept was awesome, the reality not so much.

I agree that Jay Leno and Seinfeld will have not issues with the price, but I am not sure there are 40,000 of them around. The $107,000 Taycan 4S, with less range and less performance, is nowhere near that price if you want the amenities you would fine in a Toyota Camry. It feels like price gouging, even if it is the Porsche way.
