Porsche’s $150,000 Electric Taycan Turbo Is Aimed Right at Tesla

After four years of hype, Porsche has debuted the Taycan electric car.
The four-door sedan is the first all-electric vehicle from the Stuttgart, Germany-based automaker. (Although its founder, Ferdinand Porsche, built hybrid-electric “electromobile” cars under his own name as early as 1900.) The first models in the new series are the $185,000, 750-horsepower Taycan Turbo S and the $150,900, 670-horsepower Taycan Turbo.
