PORSCHE TAYCAN LUXURY E-VEHICLE, AN ADVENTURE IN EVERY RIDE.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SUMMER FUN AND ADVENTURE, DO IT IN STYLE WITH YOUR RIDE! Porsche’s Taycan is a luxury, quality, high performance stylish vehicle that is 100% powered by electricity. Taycan means “lively young horse”, is a reference to the steed of the Stuttgart coat of arms on the Porsche crest and its power on the road proves it! Inspired and built with Porsche precision and intelligence, the Taycan Base 4S, Turbo and Turbo S models all exude the best of what Porsche has to offer and has always brought to the luxury driving experience. I had the pleasure of talking to Ed Kopec, the GM of Paul Miller Porsche in Parsippany where I got to experience the new Porsche Taycan and I can tell you the Taycan is the ideal vehicle for all New Jersey driving conditions. From our warm summers to cold winters, its all-wheel drive with 616 horsepower and does zero to 60 in 3.0 seconds!!! It is an unbelievable driving experience! “Lightning-powered by electricity” is the description online,

the Taycan re-charges to over 80% in less than 30 minutes, which is faster than any other electric vehicle with the new 800-volt chargers that will be installed outside of the dealership later this year. The Battery range is 250 miles per charge and the battery is located at the bottom of the vehicle, which lowers its center of gravity and the reason the Taycan has the best handling of any other electric vehicle on the market. The Taycan weighs about two and a half tons, which contributes to the grounded and safe feel that the vehicle delivers. The Taycan is powerful enough to put on a racetrack and luxurious enough to enjoy driving around town, providing an extremely smooth and comfortable ride anywhere you go. It will take you in style to enjoy waterfront dining down the Jersey shore, to your golf outings at the Fairmount, Canoe Brook, or Brooklake Country Clubs, dinner with friends, and everywhere in between. Roomy in the back, from the legroom to the trunk, the Taycan is a great ride for your family. You can take the kids to lacrosse and dance practice comfortably, gear and all! The Taycan Base provides 76/84 MPGe and starts at $79,900. The Taycan 4S and Turbo offer 71/75 MPGe and starts at $103,800 and Turbo at $150,900. 2021 Porsche Taycan Base includes a 321hp engine 2-speed automatic transmission, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS), integrated navigation system, side seat mounted airbags, curtain 1st and 2nd row overhead airbags, rear side-impact airbag, driver and passenger knee airbag, airbag occupancy sensor, automatic air conditioning, 19” aluminum wheels, cruise control, Porsche Traction Management

King Art Center, a 500-acre outdoor museum, has been featuring modern and contemporary art since 1960. “If you want an experience of big open fields with grasses and wildflowers, head south from the center [of Storm King] and you’ll see large-scale installations that are dramatically set in the fields,” says Art Center’s Senior Curator, Nora Lawrence. “Then, if you head to the outskirts, or to the north, there are paths through the woods with smaller sculptures and installations, so that’s a totally different experience.” It’s definitely been a landscape project for as long as it’s been an art project, she adds, and there’s no way to separate those two things. “They make each other more extraordinary.

Over the years, artists have included Alexander Calder and Maya Lin, who designed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC.

Valley, northern New Jersey, and New York City, but they also come from places like Germany, France, Japan, and Brazil,” says Nora. Like most nonprofits, Storm King needs funding in order to continue operating. A great way to support this unique and beautiful place is to buy a membership or donate, which can open up special experiences. “There’s no place like Storm King in the local region,” says Nora. “There’s nothing else that offers such an open and grand scale experience of art in nature. That’s really special.”
NEW THIS SUMMER: A permanent major commission by artist Sarah Sze. “It’s going to be a 36-foot diameter incomplete circle called Fallen Sky,” says Nora. “The top, which faces up towards the sky, is mirrored stainless steel, so you can look into it and see not only your face, but the sky and clouds and trees as well. It kind of brings the sky and the heavens down to earth. Sarah has also done a temporary installation that will be in our largest indoor gallery.” An installation on loan by Rashid Johnson called The Crisis. “It’s made of open steel boxes sitting on top of each other,” says Nora. “Inside of them, Rashid has included things that are personal to him and are all about living.” To plan your visit, go to https://stormking.org/. 34
