Porsche has celebrated the UK debut of the all-electric Taycan with a special event held at the English National Ballet in London.
The UK premiere of the battery-electric Porsche featured a bespoke light and laser projection art installation and exhibition under the tag line “Soul, Electrified”. The event was held between December 12 and 14 and was attended by customers and Porsche enthusiasts.

The special exhibition will return for a three-day showing between January 23 and 25 in Manchester, with three cars on display via an immersive audiovisual experience.
The first deliveries of the new Porsche Taycan in the country are expected to start this January, including the 4S, Turbo and the range-topping Turbo S versions.
Prices start from £83,367 for the Taycan 4S, which offers up to 522 HP (530 PS) in overboost, a 79.2kWh battery pack and a 252-mile (405 km) driving range on the WLTP cycle. The Taycan Turbo is priced from £115,828, producing up to 671 HP (680 PS) with overboost and featuring a larger 93.4kWh battery pack that good enough for 280 miles (450 km) of range.
The flagship Turbo S, priced from £138,826, boosts the horsepower figure up to 750 HP (761 PS) but offers slightly less range from the same battery, at 256 miles (411 km), always according to the WLTP.
The first electric Porsche has been praised for its engaging handling and ridiculous speed so far from the media, but its image was recently dented after the EPA gave the Taycan Turbo a disappointing 201 miles (323 km) of range.
