Porsche’s Head of Style interviewed on Taycan
Porsche recently released an interview with its Head of Style, Michael Mauer, along with some detailed sketched of the production sheetmetal, and it's a great read. Check it out here!

The "foot garages" of the Taycan have gotten attention, as mentioned in this interview. Note, however, that the Model 3 has them but they are subtle enough that I didn't notice until recently.
I wonder how the center of gravity has been treated in the design. If the design goal was to be the same as a 911, could the car have actually been a little taller? But did Maurer set the height to look like a sports car should, or ensure it looked different from a Panamera? Not sure where I stand on this point, but I like the relatively upright driving position of my '82 911.
