Thumbs up Camo drops revealing headlights, side window, rear fender, tali lights

What a difference some camo removal can make!

Looking fantastic now IMO. The headlights being sunken in like that gives the front end a whole new look and much more Mission-E like.

Given the news of Tesla yesterday, I'm getting a lot closer to trading in my Model 3 AND my 911 for one of these. LOL. It keeps looking better and better. But WTF is that fake Mercedes badge on the back?

I really want to see the interior.

Yea I got a laugh out of the Mercedes badge too. They should have put an Acura badge on the back for the ultimate trolling since the camo on the rear lights makes it look like an NSX.

I think a Maserati badge would be better!

It's a 'lamda' letter used in electronics - ratio of collector to emitter current in a bipolar junction transistor.

Somebody has a sense of humor...

Thanks for posting this link. I'm still on the list with my deposit and very much looking forward to the final car. However, as I've said before my excitement is slightly reserved. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but I'm still seeing a smaller version of my Panamera overall.

Still looks like a Panamera. Anybody else having trouble getting their deposit back?

I'm seeing some pretty clear differences between the Taycan and the Panamera.

This:




Shows a lot of differences to:



The front fenders are much higher than the hood on the Taycan, vs. the Panamera where the hood is almost even with the fenders. Likewise the nose / bumper looks lower in the Taycan and is visually slimmer. Finally, the headlights, sans camo, show how they are inset, like a 720, rather than protruding.

Rear shows more curves:




Than the Panamera:



Shoulder line looks more pronounced and you can definitely see the trunk on the Taycan.

Side is shorter and much curvier:



Than the Panamera:




Notice how the shoulder line disappears through the doors of the Panamera, whereas it looks to be maintained on the Taycan. This results in a stronger shoulder over the rear wheel in the Taycan as well.

The head on view at the rear shows the stronger shoulders as well as more taper to the greenhouse and the rear glass. Notice that it's more trapezoidal on the Taycan than rectangular on the Panamera.

As somebody who likes Panameras and is on my second one, I like the Taycan look. I don't find it such a bad thing that the Taycan looks like the Panamera, and it's really unsurprising.

To each his own. Still a big disappointment relative to the concept. IMHO. Buying my wife the etron and hoping the Rivian provides a nice compliment to the 981 in my garage.

I'm very eager to hear how the e-tron turns out. Please post your impressions of it, once you have it.

I was cruising the Porsche website and came across this photo with what looks like the un-camouflaged lights. Not sure if it's been posted yet:
