The Taycan's predecessor was the Mission E concept car, unveiled at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.
It is powered by two PSM permanently excited synchronous electric motors, one on each axle, with all four wheels individually controlled by the Porsche Torque Vectoring system.
The motors were projected to be rated at more than 440 kW (598 PS; 590 hp); and the car had projected performance figures of 0–100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds, 0–200 km/h in under 12 seconds, and a top speed of over 250 km/h (155 mph).
Porsche's range goal for the Mission E was over 500 km (311 mi).

The car's system voltage is 800 V DC.
The batteries can be charged by an inductive plate or with a conventional charging system.
Porsche claimed that with the Porsche Turbo Charging system, the battery could be charged at up to 350 kW, to 80% in just 15 minutes.
