The 2020 Porsche Taycan will come in two flavors: The Turbo, pictured here, and a hotter Turbo S.

Porsche says the Taycan has a lower center of gravity than the 911 GT3.

In Turbo guise, the Taycan's electric powertrain produces 670 horsepower and 626 pound-feet of torque.

Step up to the Turbo S, and those numbers increase to 750 horsepower and 774 pound-feet.

Every Taycan uses all-wheel drive.

Porsche developed an 800-watt charging system for the Taycan. That means, with a 270-kilowatt DC fast charger, the Taycan's battery can go from 5% capacity to 80% in just over 22 minutes.
