The new Porsche Taycan livestreaming from the IAA in Frankfurt

12-day continuous programme at the company stand for the first time

Porsche will use three drive technologies in the future: highly emotive petrol engines, powerful plug-in hybrids and – from now on – also all-electric drives. This product strategy is reflected in the eight new models that the sports car manufacturer will be presenting at the 68th International Motor Show (IAA) from 12 to 22 September, 2019. The focus at the IAA will be on the brand’s first all-electric sports car: the Taycan as a Turbo and Turbo S. Further highlights at the motor show include three new hybrid models in the Cayenne series, the new Macan Turbo and the 911 Carrera as a Coupé and Cabriolet. In addition, Porsche will also present the vehicle with which the company will enter the ABB FIA Formula E Championship in November: the Porsche 99X Electric.
