Native NACS ports, infotainment upgrade for MY27 Porsche Taycan

Porsche has upgraded the infotainment system in the MY27 Taycan with software we’ve already seen in the electric Macan and Cayenne. The hardware in the Porsche Communication Management module is much faster than before (up to five times), and there are more customizable widgets and an onboard personal assistant.

The system is fully OTA-updatable. The driver’s side retains the J1772 AC port. The Taycan Turbo GT gets E-Shift as standard, while other Taycans will need to spec the GT Sport wheel seen here. The idea is simple: replicate a paddle-shift semi-automatic transmission by changing the throttle mapping and lift-off regenerative braking, using paddles on the steering wheel.

E-Shift is enabled as an extra mode on the GT Sport steering wheel. Hyundai proved with its Ioniq 5 N that, when done right, this can add an extra level of fun. Honda has taken a similar approach with its S+ shift in the new Prelude, and Ferrari has its own take on the concept with the electric Luce.
