保时捷为了挑战特斯拉Model S,计划推出Pajun纯电动车。虽然保时捷此前曾表示，该车将搭载普通的涡轮汽油和柴油引擎，但从最近透露的消息看，车厂已经决定改变做法，只推出纯电动车型。保时捷之所以这样主要是由于目前市场上这一级别车型以及太多，竞争太激烈。明智的做法是只推出纯电动版，该车续航里程达到350到400公里。预计Pajun长度为4.6米，其绝大多数技术将取自第二代Panamera，该车将于2018或2019年上市。

 

Porsche reportedly planning electric-only baby Panamera

According to a report issued by Auto Motor und Sport, the Pajun (Panamera Junior) project is back in the cards.

 

About a month ago, Porsche clearly specified they aren't cooking up a competitor for the Tesla Model S but nevertheless a report coming from Germany says the long-rumored smaller Panamera codenamed Pajun will be out to go head to head with the Model S. The model was initially programmed to come out with conventional turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines but apparently these have been axed as the Pajun will be commercialized only with a fully electric setup.

 

The reason why Porsche has decided not to sell the Pajun with regular engines is because the segment is already too crowded so it would be wiser to commercialize the smaller Panamera only as an EV that will allegedly have a range between 350 and 400 km (217 and 248 miles) thanks to advancements in battery technology.

 

The Pajun (will get a different name) is expected to be 4.6 meters (181.1 inches) long but the Model S is much longer (at 4.97 meters / 195.9 inches) so a real Model S rival would be an all-electric Panamera since the two have roughly the same size. According to the same report, the Pajun will borrow most of the technology from the second generation Panamera and will go on sale in 2018 or 2019.
