2020 Porsche Taycan spy pics & videos

[Paulo]

Some notes on the video regarding the interior!
1 - the guy on the back appears to be very confortable
2 - big center screen
3 - no camouflage (usually they have those "blankets" for emergency) whatsoever on the interior (not even the doors) and clear rear windows (up until know were very tinted). Maybe we´ll see some good shots of the interior in the next few days.

The black tape on the rear side window is gone too...

The more I look at the still shot in the video at the end, the more I am convinced that this car has more cladding than we realize. Especially, when you look more and more at the taped areas, the misalignment of some of the panels and the large gap between the windshield and hood. I'm starting to believe that we may be a little more surprised with how the final production car will look

Center console screen looks big.

Why would you design a rear window like this?
Doesn't make sense as it's not flush with the body.
Just saying...

Sports Sedan and Cross Turismo. The CT is noticeably taller.

Very disappointed to hear that news

unbelievably disappointed. If I can, I will make sure to defeat that ridiculous flap shown on the mules.

I´ve spoke today with a member of a certain Porsche Center in Portugal and this is what he told me! (Also posted on the "your dealer is showing you love thread)

- Every single Porsche Center in Portugal knows the final design, specs options and prices! If they know, i´m pretty sure dealers in the US and other big markets (way bigger than Portugal which with the exception of some 8/9 countries is pretty much everybody else (Porsche sold 738 cars in Portugal in 2018) So if your dealer says he doesnt know much it´s because he is lying (was told not to lie but to be ignorant)

- Since this "electric thing" is a huge thing for Porsche (it´s the start of a new era) Porsche have told dealers to basically ("shut up") and that the car mules have been way more protected than other cars in the past.

- The leak of the rear of the 992 last year greatly upset Porsche MAnagement and there was repercussions not only for the Porsche Center involved but also the person who took the photo (the person who took the photo was not the one who posted)

- As for the car he told me that it does indeed look a lot like a mission e with the big exeption being the side (because of the suicide door and the side skirts (i called them Land Rover side steps) and that some things were tonned down just a litle because if they didnt tonned down it would look odd. He told me it doesnt look like a Panamera, a baby Panamera or any other Porsche. It´s a Porsche but it has his own identity! Specs didnt confirmed me, asked about the interior and he refused to say anything more.

Another thing. There´s only 1 Porsche Centers in the World that is owned and operated by Porsche AG. Porsche Center Zuffenhausen. The rest is franchising. So when Porsche are testing their cars they stop the mules at Porsche Centers (from time to time (actually that´s the reason why the photo of the 992 was leaked). So, again, if your dealers says he doesnt know, he´s lying. Also, doesnt makes sense that the guys that are selling their cars would know information about the car 2/3 weeks before the day that the press and some guests at a golf tournament would also know.

I simply don't believe the dealers know anything more than we do about the car. First, Porsche cannot count on them to keep anything secret. Second, sales folks are one of the least credible sources of information. Third, my rep at one of the largest and best dealers in the midwest is absolutely straight with me, and tells me he knows nothing other than shipments should start late this year, with deliveries to customers early next year.

You´re absolutely right!

Porsche dealers cannot be trusted! Bunch of Scumbags.

But the likes of Thomas Geiger, Georg Kacher, Auto Car, Auto Motor und Sport and other reporters can see the car up close, be in the facilities that the cars are preped, be inside, see the interior, being driven?

Ahhh Jesus

Defeat it how? like tape it down and add another -proper-spoiler on the rear or something?

You wouldn’t, and they haven’t
So what does that actually mean......

It’s not exactly ‘jumping to conclusions’

Do most people here realise that when you´re inside a car, you dont see the ugly part of the exterior? Specially the spoiler! Are these people concerned of what people think of their car? If people here in the forum are so concerned about the looks of the Taycan, well, you needed (about some 21 years ago) to see a 996! Lucky as i´m, the very first time i saw a 996, it was parked right next to a 993 4s! Tell me about dissapointment! LOL

But when you're outside the car, you can see it as well. And the 996 is a somewhat low benchmark, I was comparing it more to the 989 concept - or maybe the 928 coupe. Or the 993

"If you leave your car and don't look back, you bought the wrong car"...

YES. Agree with that one. And I am sure
I will look back plenty of times and for years to come even though it might not be as slim and athletic as the mission e concept.
