I dig it.

 

[Murph7355]

Ooh. Yes please.

I might even not insist on the Touring.

Not a fan of the wheels, but they're an easy change.

 

[Mr.Smith]

Now we are talking. It's beautiful, the wider body makes it

Probably best looking BMW in a decade, at least for me.

Things confirmed not to make it to the production are: mirrors, door handles, rear diffuser (not street legal).

The front intakes will also probably change in design, but who knows. Would also expect the side skirts to be way less pronounced than they are now

BMW seems to be the only competitive German manufacturer of EVs in terms of design, tech and performance. Mercedes is still stuck with the era of egg shape design, but they are improving slowly. The promise of EV was that it would allow for new designs that were not possible in traditional cars... such as bbathtub design

All of VW group has a wrong mentality about EVs, ignoring core important aspects in EVs: charging speed (imagine still releasing 400V arhitecture 105kw charging speed cars for 50k in 2026), software, connectivty, phone applications. Tesla has been on the market for 14 years, people have certain expectation by now.

I like it except for the square and low headlights, also dislike the heavy handed side skirts, profile reminds me of a 510 for some reason.

 

[Flying ace]

Amaze. Ranks as the best looking EV along with Taycan.

 

[Jonathan S.]

I might even not insist on the Touring.

In that case, let's make a deal: you promise to have the U.K. skip any sales of the Touring, but we get to have it in the U.S., okay?

 

[Jasper4S]

I love it.

 

[Sebcbien]

Very nice, but I find the rear wheels too large, it's too much for a street car.
And waiting for the touring version

 

[M3Taycan]

I had a 2018 BMW M3 (F80) before getting the Taycan 4S. I wasn’t a fan of the front end of the G80 or the i4 M50 EV, especially the oversized grille, so the Porsche Taycan stood out to me with its unique EV design and fast charging capability. The new design looks aggressive and feels completely different from the G80, F80, E90, E46, E36, and E30.

I want to read more about the specs and test drive when available.

Fake engine sound, fake gears, fake hood extractor.

Fake engine sound, fake gears, fake hood extractor.

The hood extractor is not fake.

Fake engine sounds and fake gears is the direction in which ALL german automakers are heading.

 

[Murph7355]

Fake engine sound, fake gears, fake hood extractor.

Perhaps take a look at the rear of a J1.2 Turbo etc

The concept drawings gave me firebird vibes but they did a nice job with it. Perhaps Porsche’s new CEO was right, the Taycan was ahead of its time.
