Kevin Giek, the Taycan model line boss, expressed Porsche's dedication to maintaining the Taycan in its lineup even as the Panamera transitions to an electric future.

Giek emphasized the Taycan's significance as a long-lasting car line, akin to the iconic 911, with continuous improvements based on feedback from its 150,000 global owners.
