Porsche has unveiled the 2025 Taycan Turbo GT, which is considered the most powerful car in the company's history, with a power output of up to 1092 horsepower for two seconds, achieved through two electric motors and a launch control system. In normal mode, the vehicle's power reaches 777 horsepower.
This tremendous power allows the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.2 seconds, or 2.1 seconds if equipped with the optional Weissach package. The car is designed for racing, having set a record for electric sedans at the Nürburgring circuit in Germany with a time of 7:07.55 minutes. It is also the fastest production car at Laguna Seca, with a time of 1:27.87.
Power alone is not enough; the vehicle must excel in acceleration, braking, cornering control, aerodynamics, and stability. The car features numerous updates compared to the Turbo and Turbo S models. Modifications include dynamic components in the rear and adjustments to the dual-speed transmission ratio to increase the car's top speed. The Porsche Active Ride suspension system also comes with specific tuning for this vehicle to maintain stability.
The car comes standard with lightweight 21-inch wheels, although other wheels are available as options. Behind those wheels are standard ceramic composite brakes painted gold from Porsche. The front lights feature standard LED Matrix Design, while HD Matrix Design LED lights are optional. The vehicle can be identified by its carbon fiber SportDesign side sills, carbon fiber mirrors, and carbon fiber B-pillar. It also has an adjustable carbon fiber rear wing, while the Weissach package adds a fixed carbon fiber wing.
Only six standard colors will be offered, including two new colors, Pale Blue Metallic and Purple Sky Metallic. These will be exclusive to the 2025 model before being available for other models next year. The Weissach package provides track and racing-specific advantages that reduce weight compared to the Turbo S models while increasing downforce. Porsche has replaced the Taycan's rear seat area with a carbon fiber storage compartment and removed the Sport Chrono package, floor mat, and luggage compartment. There is also less sound insulation. With no rear seats, Porsche further reduced weight by eliminating the rear speakers, leaving only four speakers.
The optional illuminated Porsche text on the trunk is not available with the Weissach package, nor is the electric trunk lid or glass roof. Unlike other Taycan models, the Turbo GT has eliminated the AC charging port on the driver's side to save weight.
Inside, the car will feature adaptive sport seats that can be adjusted to 18 positions with memory. The Turbo GT logo is affixed to the headrests. The vehicle is equipped with the same Race-Tex steering wheel found in other Porsche GT models. Additionally, the car features a track endurance mode that can cool the batteries during extended track sessions.
The Turbo GT features the same steering wheel as other Porsche GT models wrapped in black Race-Tex with a 12 o'clock mark at the top. Unlike the GT3, the left paddle shifter controls regenerative braking while the right activates the "attack mode," which puts the car in maximum aggression for 10 seconds. Porsche has also included a track endurance mode to cool the batteries during extended track sessions.
The starting price for the 2025 Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach package is $230,000, while the Turbo S starts at $209,000, but does not include features such as the Porsche Active Ride suspension system as standard.
