Making The Case For A Porsche Taycan Coupe

Where Could A Porsche Taycan Coupe Fit In?

With that, let’s look at the U.S. electric vehicle market today. There are currently under 50 E.V. models on sale, the bulk of which fall into the mass-market crossover and truck segments, followed up by a few sedans like the Lucid Air, the Tesla Model S Plaid and the siblings in the form of the Audi e-tron GT and the Porsche Taycan. But if we’re talking two-door electric cars, there are just a handful of cars like the Mini Electric and the Rimac Nevera at the upper end. Luxury all-electric grand touring or GT coupes, there’s just one on sale at the moment, the Rolls Royce Spectre. This is where a brand like Porsche could step in with something like a two-door Taycan.**

In typical Porsche fashion, while the changes to the 2025 Taycan facelift may seem minor, the bulk of the changes have happened under the skin, particularly when it comes to the level of standard equipment on offer and one of the pre-facelift model’s biggest setbacks, the driving range. Unlike the outgoing model’s 208 miles (one of the main reasons for the steep depreciation), the 2025 rear-wheel drive base variant with the bigger battery pack, now offers up to 318 miles on a single charge. Get this, the top-spec 2025 Turbo GT when equipped with the optional Weissach package, does not feature rear seats. So basically, it’s an electric sedan with four doors, but only two seats up front.

Believe it or not, this render from 2NCS is over two years old and does a great job of interpreting what a two-door Taycan could look like. The side view is perhaps the most striking part of this Taycan rendering, featuring just two doors instead of four. The window line appears more akin to a 911 than a Taycan. As for other design details, rather than taking the luxury route, 2NCS doesn’t feature any brightwork. They’ve taken a sporty approach with blacked-out wheels, and contrasting gloss black highlights on the front like the window trim, the door handles, and the controversial on an electric car, Turbo S badge.

They certainly seem to contrast well against this stealthy shade of grey, which reminds me of one of Porsche’s newest colors, exclusive to Turbo models, Turbonite. You also have Porsche’s signature four-point LED headlights and the aggressive body kit gives it a low stance, but the highlight for me is the GT3 RS-style vents in the front fenders. This is the closest thing to a Taycan coupe at the moment, but I can’t see why Porsche can’t pull off a two-door variant. If something like this were to materialize, a high-performance all-electric coupe from Porsche with an emphasis on range and luxury (GT car after all), could take on the likes of the upcoming 1,000+ horsepower Piëch GT, the all-electric Bentley Continental GT and a rumored Aston Martin EV set to make its debut in 2025. The most expensive Taycan is already $231,000, so this flagship all-electric gentleman’s express can potentially be priced well north of a quarter of a million dollars.
