Of all the new electric cars debuting this year, the Porsche Taycan is one of the most anticipated. Demand for Porsche's first-ever electric vehicle is so strong that it has the potential to outsell the 911 in its first year. Porsche recently confirmed it has received nearly 30,000 deposits, even though the production model hasn't been revealed yet. Unsurprisingly, the Taycan has attracted the attention of other established electric car manufacturers.



Mate Rimac, founder of the electric hypercar maker Rimac Automobili, was recently given the chance to test drive a prototype of the Porsche Taycan around Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen and gave the electric sedan his seal of approval on Rimac's Linkedin page. "Porsche has done a very good job. I would definitely consider the Taycan as a private car," he said. That's very high praise from one of the most influential people in the electric car industry right now.
