Its available in the Taycan and according to Porsche "Surround View ensures optimum care when parking and maneuvering using one hand. Making every meter in the Taycan a driving experience – regardless of the speed." It's part of the ParkAssist package.

Here's a demonstration of how it works:

Thank you for posting this.
So this is one of my great frustrations with Porsche’s owner’s manuals and instructions and frankly the dealer’s knowledge of the technology. I own a Taycan Turbo and have read every inch of my owner’s manual and looked at every video they put out, and this great description doesn’t exist anywhere there. I am away from the car for a week or so, but when i get home will try the different points of view this video talks about to see if they actually work. If so, this is amazing and so much better than just a static overhead view.
If there are any Porsche reps on this discussion, what other amazing features have I paid for that you have forgotten to tell me about?

There was a rep here somewhere. Let me poke him in his intro thread.

Also, I've been told by a reliable source that Porsche corporate checks this place every day.

If someone hasn’t already suggested this I encourage you to download the Porsche Good To Know app from the App Store. Then download content for Taycan. There are many helpful videos here and provides an owners manual on your phone. For those who are configuring your new Taycan check out Night View Assist especially those who do a lot of night driving.

Hopefully it's as intuitive as it appears in that video.
