Giving the Porsche Taycan a little celebrity horsepower as winter 2021 transitions into spring? Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter. The pair appears in a short film with their own examples of the model that’s fast becoming the Porsche halo model for the 2020s—with the scenery of Southern California and the Porsche Experience Center backing them up in supporting roles.
The film desires to show the full spread of benefits of the Taycan—a Turbo model in this instance—along of course with the fun of driving it, as a tonic for the EV-resistant US market and buyers inoculated by the fossil fuels status quo. The Taycan’s range, its quickness and speed, and its performance profile are all mightily attractive.
With as much as 671 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque, the Taycan proves its mettle competing with a 918 Spyder and GT3 piloted by professional drivers, with a last stop at the Porsche Experience Center to let the model stretch its design and capabilities on the Center’s driving course.
