Porsche Australia is recalling 1658 Taycan electric vehicles produced from 2019 to 2024 due to a possible brake fault. The Australian Federal Government cites the possibility of defective front brake hoses, which may lead to brake fluid leakage and reduced braking.
A pre-production Porsche Taycan has set an official lap time of 7:07.55 minutes on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit with development driver Lars Kern at the wheel. It is a new record for an electric Porsche.
The 100,000th electric Taycan has rolled off Porsche’s production line. Production started at the main plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany, in September 2019. The new Neptune Blue Taycan Turbo S is destined for a United Kingdom customer.
Australian owners of model year 2020, 2021 and 2022 Taycan electric vehicles are eligible for a free software update including an additional 50km of range, but this can only be done at the nearest authorised Porsche Centre The plan sees all Taycans yet produced, receiving a software boost to 2023 levels, bringing new features, including an electronic decoupling system for the front axle – significantly improving cruising efficiency.
