Porsche Taycan Spied With The Tailgate Open At The Great Lamborghini Factory

Porsche Taycan Spied With The Tailgate Open At Lamborghini’s Headquarters

A camouflaged next-generation Porsche Taycan was photographed with its tailgate raised outside Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese factory, revealing critical design innovations and hinting at unprecedented Volkswagen Group collaboration. Here’s what the spy shots unveil:

🔍 Stealth Revolution: Rear Engineering Breakthroughs

  • Structural Rear Lightbar: A single-piece LED strip spanning the full tailgate width replaces split lights

  • Active Aero Integration: New retractable spoiler embedded in the tailgate surface

  • Enhanced Frunk Access: Redesigned hinges suggest 15-20% larger front trunk capacity

  • Streamlined Charging: Flush-mounted charge port with bidirectional capability

⚙️ Why Test at Lamborghini?

Industry analysts identify three strategic reasons:

  1. High-Speed Validation: Lamborghini’s private test track enables 300km/h+ stability testing

  2. Carbon Fiber Expertise: Collaboration on lightweight tailgate construction techniques

  3. Thermal Management: Shared development of 920V architecture cooling systems

Data Insight: Current Taycan’s rear structure uses 37kg of steel – new design targets 42% weight reduction

🚀 Performance Leaks from the Cockpit

Though heavily covered, photographers captured:

  • Radical Steering Wheel: Formula 1-inspired dual-mode yoke with haptic controls

  • Head-Up Display: Projected windshield data spans 70° field of view

  • Synthetic Sound Toggle: “Heritage Mode” simulating classic 911 engine notes

⚡ Technical Evolution

Current Taycan Next-Gen Prototype
800V architecture 920V ultra-fast charging
505km max range Targeting 650km (WLTP)
0-100km/h: 2.8s Sub-2.5s acceleration
270kW peak charging 350kW+ capability

🔮 Strategic Implications

  • Production Timeline: Expected late 2024 launch

  • Platform Sharing: Confirmed PPE architecture synergy with Audi e-tron GT

  • Battery Innovation: Leaked documents suggest Samsung SDI’s Gen5 cells with 40% higher volumetric density

🏁 Track-Ready Variant Spotted: Mule vehicles feature wider fenders, center-lock wheels, and racing slicks – signaling a Taycan GT RS model targeting Lamborghini’s own electric Lanzador.
