Less TQ than an accord 2.0t? Something doesn't add up here... these are abysmal metrics for a $100k car.

Good point. Seems strange

By jettisoning that "4S" badge (and saving $24,900 in the process), the entry Taycan model comes exclusively with rear-wheel drive, thanks to a single, aft-mounted electric motor that makes 402 hp (300 kW) and 254 pound-feet (344 newton-meters) in standard form. Porsche will also offer a Performance Battery Plus option that ups power to 469 hp and 263 lb-ft (350 kW and 357 Nm) by swapping out a 79.2-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion unit for one that holds 93.4 kWh.

My 15 year old Z4M has 262 ft lbs (and not known for having much torque) but luckily weighs almost 2,000 lbs. less. Most EV's seem to have hp and torque numbers very close, often with torque higher. Will be interesting to see the acceleration. Maybe the theory that Porsche buyers only care about the brand, it is a Porsche and don't cross shop and this will be enough to make the sale.....
