Porsche Taycan
A direct threat to the Tesla Model S, the Porsche Taycan is a fully electric large premium sedan that delivers 522 horsepower in base 4S trim. The mid-range model is called Turbo and increases output to 670 horsepower. But wait, there’s more: the top-line Taycan Turbo S generates as much as 750 horsepower—seriously. You’ll need to spend well above $200,000 to get it, however.
