Though there are many electric cars in the market it is the Taycan which certainly looks futuristic and quite purposeful, making it one of the good looking car to spend money on. The overall layout of the car is on the sportier side with those signature four Porsche LED DRLs in the main headlamp . There is no grille  in this car for obvious reasons but Porche has provided sufficient amount of blacked out detailing on the bumper to reduce the visual bulk. The  bonnet looks neat with minimalistic lininings on the sides and the Porsche logo in the centre.
From side the sporty alloy wheels with huge yellow coloured brake callipers and the white inserts on the tyre makes this car quite appealing. The coupe roofline and the four doors tells you that this is not a small car in dimensions and the overall styling from the side is subtle and elegant at the same time.

Coming to the back and you recognize the Porche elements , first the tailamp which is running from one side to another with Prosche written in the centre having blue inserts to show the electric nature this car has. Rear of the car looks mascular with broad wheel arching, small rear window  and no chrome and other bling factor. The number plate slot is on the lower half blacked out part of the bumper.
This car is quick and can really take lead on many powerful internal combustion and hybrid cars. but it is not as quick as the Tesla for that matter. This car can achive 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds and 3.0 seconds for the base Taycan turbo. The numbers are quite astonishing for any enthusiast to not look back on his/her crude oil car in the future for kick in the pants feel , which this car easily give without making any noise.
