Porsche has been toying with the idea of a 4-door sedan since the 1950s

There were many concept models, including the 989

With Taycan taking on the Tesla Model S, Porsche could now set its sights on the Model 3

The design of Porsche's EV Model 3 competitor could be heavily-influenced by the Taycan

At least some of the powertrain options should be shared with the Macan EV

You also can't rule out the possibility of a RWD-only version, like you have on the Taycan

Even the entry-level Porsche EV sedan could benefit from Porsche's customization programs

A possible reveal of the smaller Porsche EV sedan might coincide with the electric 718

The most expensive Model 3 retails for around $42,000

But an affordable compact sedan on Macan EV bones for $65,000 would be the ideal sweet spot
