According to overseas media, Porsche is developing two new models based on Volkswagen’s SSP scalable platform, namely the new generation Porsche Taycan and the pure electric version Panamera, the former will be launched in 2027. By 2030, Porsche will launch at least six pure electric vehicles.
The pure electric version of the Panamera is currently in the early stages of development and may be unveiled after 2023. According to the official, the size and wheelbase of the new car will be similar to the long-wheelbase model on sale, that is, the car length is nearly 5199mm, the wheelbase is nearly 3100mm, and the standard size of medium and large cars.
The future pure electric version of the Panamera will compete with the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS 53 and Lucid Air after its launch, and will be sold in a model of pure electric, fuel-powered, and plug-in hybrid models. This sales model can help Porsche better complete the transition during the electrification transition.
The new generation of the Porsche Taycan is expected to be launched around 2027 and will be built with body structure, powertrain and chassis components similar to the all-electric Panamera. It will also be equipped with an operating system developed by Volkswagen Group’s Cariad software division and is expected to match the L3 level driver assistance system.
It is reported that Porsche’s new models will be equipped with a battery pack that supports 800V fast charging, which features more energy-efficient battery technology and higher silicon content. Models equipped with this battery are expected to offer single-motor and dual-motor versions.
Porsche is currently accelerating the electrification of the brand. The pure electric sports car Taycan was launched in 2019 and received wide attention once it was launched. A total of 41,296 units were sold in 2021, surpassing the sales of Porsche’s legendary model 911. The new generation Taycan has upgraded its product strength and sales are expected to further increase. The pure electric Panamera also provides consumers with a wider range of choices, helping the brand accelerate its full electrification.
