Cool Will the Taycan look like this?? Production model preview CGIs
Saw these featured on Jalopnik. These are some nice production Taycan previews:

I've now got my deposit in and plan to order white, but that Carmine Red one looks mighty good too. What colors are you guys hoping they offer on the Taycan?

Looks like a very nice sedan. But it doesn't look nearly as sexy as the Mission E.

Geez, if you're gonna do a render, at least put some nice wheels on it. Those things are awful.

Already emailed to our marketing department. I'll see if they've got time to spruce these up

The front / hood needs to slope down much more aggressively and the roof line needs to be lower.

Those pictures look like a Panamera with aftermarket headlights trying to look like the Mission E.

These renderings from Autocar look much better and seem production feasible. Less aggressive than the Mission E but much less Panamera.

So basically, what the mules look like...

I have almost no hope that this thing will look anything close to the Mission E anymore beyond the headlights.

I think it’s a stunning car, but on the other hand I think the Panamera is a very good looking car. But this render is much more stand out and aggressive than a Panamera. I’m not sure how anyone expected anything better than this. We were never getting suicide doors, no side mirrors, the concept didn’t even have a trunk lid. Practicality has to
come into play. I fully expected the curves to be toned down. This is very close to the concept, far more than most concepts.

If only they put those wheels on it. That thing looks great.

Same here. I'm expecting a Panamera with different bumpers and lights.

All these references to Panamera better not come to fruition. Design aside, what if this car weighs the same, as in 4000 pds plus?

The Autocar renders look good but the prototypes already show that the front fenders won't be so dramatically high relative to the frunk lid.

I think the rendering got the rear right, but the front is definitely not representative. Just my guess, I could be completely wrong.
