The name of Porsche’s first fully electric car translates from Turkish “Tay+Can” as “lively young horse”. It not only symbolically embodies the coat of arms of Stuttgart, which is featured in the logo of the German premium sports car manufacturer, but also the soul of this model.

The Taycan marks the beginning of Porsche’s journey to fulfill its commitment to make the automotive industry sustainable.

However, the soul of a car is brought to life by a human. In our opinion, the vehicle and its owner are inseparable – the story of one cannot be told without the other. That is why Porshe Center Riga at the end of the summer of 2022 launched a unique project: meeting Taycan owners, Latvian businesspeople to talk about their professional experience, free time, sustainability and, ultimately, about what it is like to ride the new and nimble steed, the Taycan.

Each story, each person and also each driving experience is unique, as evidenced in the series of five videos we present to you. At the same time, these stories prove that a thriving business can be established and run in Latvia.

Join Taycan community.

Taycan – the soul of an electrified Porsche at your fingertips. Own one of Porsche’s engineering masterpieces and join the Taycan community of young leaders. Build your own model, book a consultation or try the leasing calculator for your preferred Taycan model.
