Porsche Taycan Will Have E-Shift with Virtual Gears

Porsche is elevating the Taycan with an E-Shift that adds eight simulated gears and a more emotive driving experience, while standardizing a larger 105 kWh Performance Battery Plus across all variants. The 2027 Taycan arrives in showrooms in fall 2026, with orders open now and pricing starting at $114,250 for the rear-drive model. A GT Sport steering wheel with paddles enables manual gear changes, and the car features an AI-infused infotainment upgrade, enhanced smartphone integration, and a new battery health display. The package also includes a passenger-side DC fast-charging port using NACS, while the driver-side port remains CCS J1772.
