Porsche has turned up the drama with the launch of the Taycan 4S Black Edition in India. Priced at ₹2.07 crore (ex-showroom), this special edition adds a shadowy twist to the already thrilling Taycan 4S. While that price sits ₹11 lakh above the standard model, it’s not just a coat of black paint — it’s a bold statement on wheels.
What’s New on the Outside? A Dark Side with Style
This isn’t your average Taycan. Porsche has added a high-gloss black finish to key elements of the exterior — including the front apron, side skirts, rear diffuser, and the bottom of the ORVMs. Even the badges and lettering wear black, blending into the body like they were never meant to stand out.
Matching the stealthy look, the 21-inch aero-optimized wheels also come painted in glossy black. To complete the effect, the headlamps now wear a smoky finish, giving the front end a menacing presence.
Color Options – Yes, It’s Still a Palette of Personality
Despite the “Black Edition” tag, Porsche hasn’t limited the color options. Buyers can choose from 13 different shades, including:
- Jet Black Metallic
- Volcano Grey Metallic
- Gentian Blue Metallic
- Provence (a soft purple)
- Frozenberry Metallic (pink tint)
- Purple Sky Metallic
- And more…
From classic Black and White to vibrant tones like Neptune Blue and Carmine Red — this edition lets you go bold or stay subtle.
Interiors – Familiar Layout, Premium Black Accents
Step inside and you’ll notice that the Taycan 4S Black Edition retains the layout of the standard model, but introduces more premium finishes. Buyers can pick from:
- Two Race-Tex (Alcantara/leatherette) options in black
- Two solid leather options (one in full black)
- Dual-tone designs available as optional extras
The feature list is packed with modern luxury:
- Panoramic sunroof
- 360-degree camera
- Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)
- 14-way power front seats
- 4-zone climate control
- 14-speaker, 710W Bose sound system
Performance – Same Heart, Same Thrill
Mechanically, nothing changes — and that’s a good thing. The Black Edition runs on a 105kWh battery pack (97kWh usable), offering a WLTP range of 668km. Dual motors send 598 hp and 710 Nm of torque to all four wheels.
0 to 100 km/h? Just 3.7 seconds.
Need a quick recharge? A 320kW DC fast charger can juice it up in just 18 minutes (under ideal conditions).
Final Thoughts by DailyWheels
The Taycan 4S Black Edition isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade — it offers exclusivity, style, and a subtle sense of aggression to an already capable EV. Whether it’s the stealthy exterior, the refined cabin, or the tried-and-tested powertrain, this edition adds flair without changing the soul.
