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.

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.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
