Gearbox: 2-Speed Automatic
The Taycan is one of the few production EVs to feature a 2-speed transmission on the rear axle. The first gear provides maximum torque for acceleration from a standing start, while the long-ratio second gear ensures high efficiency and power reserves at high speeds.
Drive Type: RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive)
The base model utilizes a pure Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) setup, staying true to Porsche’s sports car heritage. This configuration offers a more playful handling characteristic and reduces the overall kerb weight compared to the dual-motor AWD variants.
