Video: This is how a Porsche Taycan, which costs more than 150,000 euros, is produced

The name Porsche is associated with high-class automotive engineering worldwide. The brand is therefore generally not very afraid of the future. Rather, the company relies on an old saying by the namesake: "The last car will be a sports car." But Porsche cannot completely isolate itself from the general developments in the automotive sector. Because from next year, new limits for CO2 emissions from vehicle fleets will apply in the European Union. Because sports cars are rarely produced as small cars, the group can only achieve the new target values ​​if it sells enough electric cars. The product of this predicament is the new Porsche Taycan - the first pure electric vehicle of the sports car brand.
The number of employees will continue to increase
This is built in the factory in Zuffenhausen. In a 30-minute video, automobile fans can now see how exactly the individual production steps work and are linked to one another. There you can see, among other things, how the drive train is connected to the rest of the body and how the legendary Porsche logo is attached in a final step. Almost at the same time as the video was published, the automobile company also announced that 500 new employees would be needed to produce the Taycan. The electric sports car thus continues to prove to be a job engine. In the past, around 2,000 new jobs could be traced back to the new Taycan.
The car is already very popular
This gratifying development is not least due to the fact that the car is also very popular with customers. Initially, only 20,000 Taycan should originally be produced per year. In the meantime, the car manufacturer has expanded its production capacities due to the great demand. Observers are now assuming that 40,000 electric Porsches will come off the assembly line in Zuffenhausen next year. The first such vehicles will be delivered in the United States this year. European customers, on the other hand, have to be patient until next year. This has a purely political background: only cars that will be sold next year can help to achieve the then stricter CO2 limit values.
