Porsche's Electric Marvel Hits Roads with Impressive Range and Speed
Porsche's latest electric offering, a German engineering marvel, has hit the roads. The electric version boasts an impressive WLTP range of 310 miles, with an estimated 210 miles on motorways and 240 miles in mixed running. Despite its weight, it accelerates swiftly, though handling on twisty roads is somewhat clumsier than its petrol counterpart.
The electric motor takes over at city speeds, briefly dropping the engine. This handover is seamless, ensuring a smooth driving experience. The electric version packs 213bhp and instant e-torque, making it the quickest launch model with a 0-62 time of 8.5 seconds.
On small twisty roads, the car feels lively, but it lacks power on open carriageways, taking 10.3 seconds to go from 0-62mph. The ride is tight at urban speeds but smooths out at higher speeds, with a slight wheel hop on corrugated surfaces. The 1.2-litre turbo engine, with mild hybrid low-rev shove, ensures it seldom feels caught off-boost even in high gears. The car's chassis feels numb but accurate, with sensible weight build-up when leaning into curves and controlled roll.
Porsche's electric offering, with its impressive range and acceleration, is a significant step into the future of driving. Despite minor drawbacks in handling and power on open roads, it promises a smooth and responsive ride, backed by the precision and craftsmanship Porsche is renowned for.
