Even the bottom Porsche Taycan is fast. The customary mannequin will get to 60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds and the top-end Turbo S mannequin does that in about 2.3 seconds with launch management. Now there is a new king of acceleration and all-around efficiency within the Taycan lineup, the 2025 Taycan Turbo GT.
The Turbo GT is essentially the most highly effective Taycan the corporate has ever constructed—and should you rely the ten seconds of overboost, it’s additionally essentially the most highly effective Porsche ever. Period. Full cease. It has 777 horsepower customary and 988 pound-feet of torque, or as much as 1,019 hp with the brand new Attack Mode perform.
Much like push-to-pass accessible on different Taycan fashions, Attack Mode affords an additional jolt of energy for 10-second increments. But whereas push-to-pass solely provides an additional 70 kilowatts, Attack Mode sends as much as 120 kilowatts to all 4 wheels. And now you possibly can activate it just by tugging on the proper paddle shifter—though Porsche says Attack Mode is primarily for monitor use, wink wink.
Launch management uncorks the total 1,092 hp for 2 seconds, sending the Turbo GT to 60 miles per hour in 2.2 seconds—or 2.1 seconds with the light-weight Weissach monitor bundle (the primary four-door Porsche with that possibility). That’s as much as two-tenths of a second faster than the Taycan Turbo S. It takes 6.6 seconds for the Turbo GT to succeed in 124 mph, or 6.4 seconds with the Weissach bundle. And the highest monitor pace is 180, or 190 mph with the Weissach pack.
The secret to that newfound pace is a pulse inverter that makes use of silicon carbide to ship as much as 900 amps to the rear motor as a substitute of simply 600 amps within the Turbo S mannequin. Paired with a brand new rear-axle motor—discovered across the updated Taycan lineup—it delivers extra energy and effectivity in a lighter bundle. It’s about 20 kilos lighter than the outgoing rear motor, and your entire Turbo GT is as much as 157 kilos lighter than the Turbo S (with the Weissach bundle).
And the Taycan Turbo GT goes to nice lengths to scale back weight. Carbon fiber covers the B-pillars, aspect mirrors, and aspect skirts. Porsche by some means decreased the burden of the bags compartment (most likely by eradicating the carpet), ditched the soft-closing doorways and electrical charger door, and even ripped out the analog clock that comes customary with the Sport Chrono bundle.
The carbon-ceramic brakes and 21-inch cast wheels are lighter than these on the Turbo S, and people wheels are wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires. All of that comes customary on the Turbo GT. The Weissach bundle ditches the rear seats totally rather than a carbon fiber shelf with further storage.
Porsche’s Active Ride suspension comes customary with particular tuning for the Turbo GT, whereas a brand new entrance spoiler with aeroblades and a gurney flap atop the adaptive rear spoiler additionally come customary on this trim. Additional aerodynamic parts like an underbody air deflector and a brand new entrance diffuser are unique to the Weissach bundle, as is a hard and fast rear wing with a singular carbon fiber weave. The Taycan Turbo GT Weissach has as much as 485 kilos of downforce.
The inside goes heavy on the Race-tex leather-based and you may lastly get carbon-fiber buckets in a Taycan—however solely in Europe. Due to crash rules, the carbon buckets aren’t accessible within the US. The US-spec Turbo GT will get Porsche’s adaptive Sports Seats Plus customary with 18-way electrical adjustment and a reminiscence possibility. The Turbo GT emblem is stamped into the headrests, naturally.
All informed, the Taycan Turbo GT is essentially the most track-capable Taycan the corporate has constructed to this point. And it already has the accolades to show it. On February 23, the Turbo GT Weissach accomplished a lap of WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in 1:27.87—quicker than every other electrical automobile earlier than it. And in early January, a growth prototype lapped the Nurburgring in 7:07.55—quicker than every other EV or sedan, gasoline or electrical.
The value for all that efficiency doesn’t come low-cost. The 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT begins at $231,995 with vacation spot charges, and the Weissach bundle is a no-cost possibility. Both fashions can be found to order now and can make their solution to sellers within the US this summer season.
