Richard Attwood on the new Porsche Taycan
17/2/2020
Richard Attwood has a long standing history with Porsche and is a racing legend. He has lived in Wolverhampton all of his life and still lives locally to our Centre. Following the unveiling of the Porsche Taycan in September 2019 which took place simultaneoulsy in Canada, China and Germany the reviews began to build excitement and anticipation for the launch. So much so we felt it would be prudent to ask our local racing driver his thoughts on the all-new Taycan.
Mr Attwood was out in the Porsche Taycan whilst the car was over in America. Mr Attwood commented, ‘It’s a Porsche, it’s quick, the acceleration isn’t anything like what has gone before as a road car, the electric engine is responsive and instant, it’s very fast.’
"The car weighs 2.4 tonnes and is four-wheel drive but it certainly doesn’t feel like that. There is hardly any noise which I feel will take a while to get used to. In the future maybe Porsche will bring in an engine noise artificially and I'm sure as with all things Porsche create that too will be done well. The car is very clever it is certainly going to give people a wakeup call".
Once again we would like to thank Mr. Attwood for speaking with us and look forward to seeing him in the showroom at our Taycan launch in March.

*Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since 01 September 2018 all new cars are approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP). You can find more information on WLTP at

. From 01 January 2019, all fuel consumption figures are shown as determined in accordance with WLTP. CO₂ figures will be shown as NEDC-equivalent values, as CO₂ based taxation will continue to be based on an NEDC value (derived from WLTP) until 06 April 2020. For Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) range and Equivalent All Electric Range (EAER) figures are determined with the battery fully charged, using a combination of both battery power and fuel.
Values are provided for comparison only. To the extent that fuel and energy consumption or CO₂ values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. Optional features and accessories can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics which may result in a change in fuel or energy consumption and CO₂ values. Vehicle loading, topography, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual driving styles, can all affect the actual fuel consumption, energy consumption, electrical range, and CO₂ emissions of a car.
