The American tuner Hennessey Performance is known for its extraordinary tuning measures. The latest project from the Texas tuning company is the Porsche Taycan Hennessey Performance electric sports car. Hennessey will thus be the first tuner to offer special modifications for the Zuffenhausen e-sportsman.
American design cure for the Porsche Taycan
The first renderings look quite promising. Optical adjustments to the body, rims and also the interior flatter the Porsche design. However, Hennessey only wants to improve the performance of the Porsche Taycan in the second step.
Implanting additional horsepower into a sports car has so far been limited to petrol-driven models at Hennessey. examples like this Hennessey Venom F5 hypercar prove that the Texan tuner almost has a monopoly on the subject of maximum speed.
More power in the Porsche Taycan Hennessey?
With an electric vehicle, however, the tuning measures look a little different. More power can only mean a larger drive train or a change in the chassis. However, a larger electric motor requires more battery power, which in turn means additional weight.
The 680 hp of the normal Taycan and the 760 hp of the Turbo S are already a good basis for getting from A to B in a sporty way. After all, the turbo accelerates to 2,8 km/h in 100 seconds. So that should mean a few more sleepless nights for Hennessey in order to score points in terms of performance cure.
A Porsche Taycan has already been ordered, according to Hennessey. Nothing stands in the way of the first modified prototype. At most the start of delivery. This will begin in the USA at the beginning of 2020. Production of the first electric athletes began on September 9, 2019 in the new "Factory of the Future" in Zuffenhausen.
