Facelifted Porsche Taycan Shows Off Its Trick New Matrix LED Headlights | Carscoops carscoops
It’s a testament to the rightness of the Taycan’s design that it still looks so fresh more than three years after it first went on sale, but Porsche still has plans to subtly upgrade its sporty EV with some mild styling revisions andIn fact, the two go hand in hand, because the new headlights fitted to the Taycan Cross Turismo prototype in our pictures aren’t just there to change the styling for the sake of change, as is the case with most facelifted cars.
The current Taycan borrowed its headlight design, which features four DRL components surrounding a central headlight,. But while the new lights retain the quad-LED motif, the central light has been removed altogether in favor of four smaller LED lights that claim to illuminate objects 600 m down the road.
Porsche says the core element of the new headlamp tech is a microchip containing 16,000 individually controllable micro-LEDs on a surface the size of a thumbnail. Although there are four visible lights in each lamp unit the important ones are the two lower lights on either side. The outer light in each headlight pod has a wide-angle lens, while the inner ones have a telephoto lens that produces a beam of light half as high and half as wide, but is far brighter.
As for what’s new under the hood , we’d be surprised if it didn’t involve more driving range and additional power. Porsche is reported to be working that will keep it ahead of rival EVs, but across-the-board power increases are inevitable when Porsche announces the facelifted car later this year.
