Robb’s New Year recommendations: Porsche Taycan Black Edition

By Weixian Low 6 January, 2026

The first days of a new year are often about subtraction, but Porsche is suggesting something quite different with the Taycan Black Edition

It’s usually less clutter, less noise, and fewer bad habits. But Porsche’s Taycan Black Edition suggests a different approach. It proposes adding something—an all-electric Porsche that turns school runs, meeting dashes, and midnight drives into quiet acts of celebration. This special edition sharpens the Taycan’s character, extending its range and distilling Porsche’s electric proposition into a focused statement. Rather than a distant concept, the Taycan Black Edition is a car you can step into now, a daily reminder that renewal can indeed be bold and exhilarating.

Available in Singapore as a sports saloon, the Taycan Black Edition brings more standard equipment at a compelling price. An upgraded Sport Design package also comes with high- gloss black accents on the side window trims, mirrors, and rear model script to create a low, almost liquid silhouette, anchored by the now-iconic rear light strip and an illuminated black Porsche logo. The 21-inch Aero Design wheels give the car a sophisticated, hunkered- down look especially with the Air suspension set to low, and inside, black accents, storage packages, and illuminated brushed-aluminium door sills reinforce the theme.

Beneath the hood, renewal takes a literal form. The Taycan Black Edition comes standard with HD Matrix LED lights to ensure the road ahead is anything but dark, and under the bespoke floorpan, the Performance Battery Plus increases gross energy capacity to 105kWh. In the Black Edition sports saloon, this yields a Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure range of up to 668km, a gain of 76km, or about 12 per cent, over the standard Taycan. In practice, it results in a compelling all-rounder: a single car capable of weekday commuting, spontaneous late-night drives, and weekend escapes, without range anxiety clouding your resolutions.

For Dr Henrik Dreier, director, Importer Singapore at Porsche Asia Pacific, the Taycan Black Edition represents more than just the sum of its parts. “It underscores the strength and maturity of our all-electric offering,” he remarks, noting that electrification at Porsche is about expanding possibilities while preserving that familiar Porsche feel.

That future, Dr Dreier adds, will be shaped as much by personalisation as by technology. “Every Porsche should reflect the personality of its owner,” he says, a philosophy demonstrated in the Black Edition’s enriched standard equipment and broad individualisation options at no extra cost. “The Taycan Black Edition expresses sportiness and dynamism through its upgraded equipment and elegant black accents, while still offering a wide selection of exterior colours and interior materials such as leather or Racetex at no additional cost. Following a record year for Porsche sales in Singapore in 2025, our focus for 2026 is to carry this momentum forward with conviction.” Dr Dreier points to headline acts such as the new 911 Turbo S with its T-Hybrid powertrain, and the Cayenne Turbo Electric, the most powerful production Porsche yet.

Until then, the Taycan Black Edition sits neatly at the start of that arc: a car that celebrates how far electric Porsches have come while signalling where they are headed.
