At the Frankfurt Motor Show, car company Porsche demonstrated its first fully electric sports car called the Taycan. It is a direct competitor to the Tesla Model S.

CEO Oliver Blume explained that the car can drive very fast and complete the Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 42 seconds. He presented that it can run about 300 miles while it carries luggage. He also said that the battery can charge from 5% to 80% in 22 minutes with quick-charging technology.

Difficult words: Nurburgring (a race track in Germany), a direct competitor (a product that competes with a similar product for people to buy it).
