The mission is to find a name for a new vehicle that has no predecessor. “Honestly, it’s hard to imagine a more exciting challenge,” says Kjell Gruner, director of marketing at Porsche. “Pure expression. Letters and a meaning that find their place in the history of Porsche and the history of the automobile.”The Porsche Taycan is a battery electric saloon and shooting brake produced by German automobile manufacturer Porsche. The concept version of the Taycan, named the Porsche Mission E, debuted at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Taycan was revealed fully production-ready at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show. As Porsche's first series production electric car, it is sold in several variants at different performance levels, and may spawn further derivatives in future models. More than 20,000 Taycans wePorsche announced the name for its first purely electric model as part of the “70 years of Porsche Sports Cars” ceremony. Two permanently activated synchronous motors (PSM) generating a system output of over 600 horsepower accelerate the electric sports car to 60 miles per hour in well under 3.5 seconds and to 124 miles per hour (200 km/h) on the track in less than twelve seconds.De officiële productienaam van de Porsche Mission E wordt de Porsche Taycan. Dit wordt de eerste volledig elektrische auto in het range van modellen. De naam Taycan heeft ook een betekenis die bij Porsche hoort. De naam verwijst naar het logo van Porsche. De vertaling is ‘levendig jong paard’.Forget the Porsche Mission E because the German brand says that the version of its first electric vehicle coming to dealers in 2019 is called the Taycan. The name apparently means a "lively, young horse," according to Porsche Boss Oliver Blume, CNBC reports. The title is a reference to the horse on the city of Stuttgart coat of arms that also appears on the Porsche emblem.
