That looks bada$$. I've always been a fan of the Merc AMG wagon and this reminds me of that, but even sleeker.

If the Taycan is going to look like a baby Panamera, this is the version I'll be buying.

Agreed it does look more Panamera-ish than the standard Taycan.

This is exactly what I want also -- something that looks like the Cross Turismo concept (shorter than the Panamera but raised body height, so higher than the Panamera in ground clearance). Porsche, please give us this model in both EV and PHEV versions!

Now that looks cool. Pretty certain I could talk the wife into leaving her Q7 in Oakland with the keys in it in return for one of those.

LOL.

Co-Worker of my Dad's actually did that back in the 70's / 80's in Brooklyn. Reportedly. Parked it windows open, keys in it. "OMG, my car was stolen!"

I hope it does’t look like the concept, that thing was awful.

Love the description: "The Taycan will most likely come in three different stages of power, the Taycan Carrera ,the Taycan Carrera S and the Taycan Turbo." The turbocharger will cram more electrons into the motor?

The last couple of photos in that series looks weird. The charging access cover on the left side includes part of that silver vent/trim/whatever in front of the door. Huh? When have you ever seen something like that on any car ever? Makes me start thinking this is photoshopped.

I didn't think it was awful but this is definitely better. For once, a production model looks better than the concept.

Those side vents are fake stickers to make it look like a Panamera. Same thing with the headlights and exhaust vents. If you look closely at some of the other spy shots you can tell the outline of the headlight is fake, and the real headlight underneath looks closer to the Mission E concept.

This is common for pre-production cars with camouflage.

The shape of the wagon looks great, even under the camouflage. It looks much better to me than the hatchback/sedan mini Panamera.

So the Taycan, all electric car, is going to have fake exhaust pipes?
