It isn’t difficult to deduce that the Taycan is a significantly important product for its maker – Porsche. When it debuts on September 4, 2019, the model will officially make Porsche an EV (electric vehicle) manufacturer. And since the future of mobility is widely touted to be pure electric, the Taycan will play a key role in establishing Porsche as a luxury, zero-emissions, sports carmaker.

With the Taycan, the German brand is leaving no stone unturned to land a dominant punch in pure-electric sports car space. To give us a taste of what the production-spec interiors will look like, Porsche has released three real-life images of the Taycan’s cabin and as many design sketches. Before we dive into the specifics, just take notice of a design cue – the dashboard and the raised centre console form a capital ‘T’. Pretty neat!

Time to see what the ‘T’ comprises of. The driver gets a typical Porsche-style, three-spoke steering wheel, behind which is a curved digital instrument cluster spanning 16.8 inches diagonally. This is the first of five displays that Taycan will be offered with. Drivers will get to choose amongst four display modes – Classic, Map, Full Map and Pure. At either end of the display, there are touch-control fields which control functions like headlamps, stability control and suspension settings.

Display number two: a 10.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Apart from keeping occupants entertained with features like built-in Apple Music, the system also packs voice recognition. Just say “Hey Porsche” to activate the feature and get on with it. For some of the operations, such as fiddling with Porsche Active Stability Management and customising the home screen, one needs to stretch his hand out… towards the display! If, for instance, the driver is too busy doing his job, the display in front of the passenger can be used. Although optional, this becomes the third display and has the same screen size.

Display number four is integrated within the raised centre console. Stretching 8.4 inches diagonally and featuring haptic feedback, the unit controls the automatic climate control. Speaking of which, the air vents are digitally and automatically controlled and Porsche calls it Virtual Airflow Control. The “Focused” mode is for fast, directional cooling and “Diffused” for draught-free air conditioning. The touch-sensitive unit also packs handwriting recognition capability which could come in handy when entering, say, an address in the built-in navigation system.

The fifth display is also part of an optional extra. Which one? The four-zone climate control. Equipping the Taycan with this option brings a 5.9-inch touch control panel, with haptic feedback, that allows the rear passengers to operate the system. Since we are talking about optional extras, the list also includes a GT sports steering wheel.

Porsche has also touched upon the range of personalisation options for the cabin. Sure, the cabin can be bathed in classic leather or tanned Club Leather which uses olive leaves in the tanning process. For those who want their Taycan to feature more environmentally-friendly materials, they can opt for something called “Race-Tex”. It is a microfibre material partially consisting of recycled polyester fibres. Porsche claims that the said material’s production process emits 80 per cent less CO2 than traditional materials. Similarly, the floor covering is made from recycled fibre “Econyl”, which is made from, among other stuff, recycled fishing nets.

A number of colour options for the interior theme will be offered. The exclusive-to-Taycan list includes black-lime, beige, blackberry, Atacama beige and Meranti brown. The optional interior accent package introduces contrasting colour schemes and the doors, as well as the centre console, can flaunt wood trim, matt carbon, embossed aluminium or fabric.

That’s a lot to digest. But then, the Taycan is also confirmed for India and we had to be sure what it will pack. We’ve known almost all its specifications for a while now. In fact, more than 20,000 customers have already put their booking for Porsche’s first-ever EV. The Taycan will enter production by the end of 2019. What remains to be seen is how it is priced.
