The new flagship Porsche Taycan<\/a> has arrived, boasting impressive stats on paper<\/a>. With nearly 1,100 horsepower under the hood—an absurd figure by any measure—it has already clinched multiple track lap records. Yet, it still bears the rather perplexing “Turbo” moniker, despite being an EV devoid of any turbochargers. Today, we’re dumping the Turbo nomenclature and search for something that actually makes sense.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first rodeo with perplexing car names. Plenty of automakers employ naming conventions that defy logic. Take the Toyota Tacoma SR5, for instance. SR5 allegedly stood for “Sport Rally 5-Speed,” which is quite the misnomer considering it embodies neither sportiness nor rally heritage. Then there’s the RS badge, once denoting “Rally Sport,” yet you won’t find any rally or sporty traits on your Chevy Equinox anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Porsche<\/a> takes the cake for using a mechanical combustion-engine power adder as its flagship naming convention for an electric vehicle. In fact, it’s been chided since the decision to name the top-end Taycan the Turbo. What hasn’t become clear is exactly what else to call this high-end electric vehicle.<\/p>\n
