IEEE Spectrum has released its Top 10 Tech Cars issue. The most fun car listed is the Porsche Taycan electric vehicle (photos above by Alexander Migl: 1; 2 – click to zoom).
The Taycan uses the 800-volt architecture of the 919, which allows for fast charging and a slight weight reduction. The drag coefficient Cd is in the range 0.22 to 0.25. With 460 kW of power for the Turbo S model, this allows top speeds of 268 km/h or so. There are electric motors on both front and rear axles, four-wheel-steering, and air suspension. You pay for it, though.
Oh, and there are no solar panels.
