Porsche has unveiled the new Taycan 4S Black Edition in India, with an ex-showroom price of Rs 2.07 crore—marking a premium of Rs 11 lakh over the standard Taycan 4S. This special edition brings a host of distinctive cosmetic upgrades while carrying forward the acclaimed performance and technology features that have made the Taycan 4S a benchmark in the luxury electric segment.
Distinctive “Black Edition” Details
The Taycan 4S Black Edition stands out with a comprehensive high-gloss black treatment. The front apron, side skirts, rear diffuser, lower parts of the outside rear-view mirrors, window trim, and all badges and lettering are finished in gloss black. Its appearance is further accentuated by unique 21-inch ‘Aero Design’ alloy wheels, also painted gloss black, and headlights with a smoky finish. To add a touch of flair, the car features puddle lamps that project the Porsche logo in white whenever the doors are opened.
Despite the “Black Edition” nomenclature, Porsche offers this Taycan in a broad palette of 13 standard exterior colours that include Black, White, Jet Black Metallic, Ice Grey Metallic, Volcano Grey Metallic, Dolomite Silver Metallic, Gentian Blue Metallic, Carmine Red, Provence (a light purple), Neptune Blue, Frozenberry Metallic (a pinkish tone), Frozenblue Metallic, and Purple Sky Metallic. For those seeking further personalization, Porsche provides additional paid exterior colour options starting from Rs 5.11 lakh and reaching up to Rs 32.18 lakh.
Premium Cabin Options
Inside, the Taycan 4S Black Edition maintains the layout and rich feature list of the standard Taycan 4S. Buyers benefit from a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, an extensive ADAS suite, 14-way power adjustable front seats, 4-zone climate control, and a 710W 14-speaker Bose sound system. For cabin decor, two black Race-tex (Alcantara/leatherette) upholstery options and two monotone leather upholstery choices (including black) are standard. Optional dual-tone interior themes are also available for those desiring extra exclusivity.
Powertrain & Performance
The Black Edition is mechanically identical to the standard Taycan 4S. It draws power from a 105kWh (97kWh net) battery pack, delivering a WLTP-claimed range of 668km. With two motors driving all four wheels, the combined output is a robust 598hp and 710Nm torque. Acceleration is brisk, with a claimed 0-100kph time of 3.7 seconds.
Thanks to advanced charging tech, the battery can be topped up from 0-80% in just 18 minutes using a 320kW DC fast charger—ensuring that the Taycan remains practical as well as thrilling.
Competitive Position
The Taycan 4S Black Edition’s key appeal lies in its distinctive visual statement, offered at a reasonable premium for the exclusivity and style upgrades. The core mechanical components, range, and interior features all match those of the regular Taycan 4S, continuing to compete favorably with other luxury EVs on the Indian market.
