The 2025 Porsche Taycan is set for a comprehensive update, with most variants expected to receive increased power and range. The update will also introduce a new performance flagship rumored to be called the Taycan Turbo GT, with Porsche confirming its debut on March 11.
A shadowy teaser photo reveals a large wing at the rear, indicating this is the track-ready version that Porsche mentioned in January, having clocked an impressive Nürburgring lap time of 7:07.55. Porsche development driver Lars Kern, who achieved this blistering lap time, will be present to unveil the new flagship next week.
This lap time is roughly 18 seconds quicker than the Tesla Model S Plaid with its available Track Package and is tantalizingly close to the 7:05:298 record for production EVs at the 'Ring set by the Rimac Nevera hypercar. However, the Rimac boasts nearly 2,000 hp and only seats two, costing a couple of million dollars.
Details for the new flagship remain undisclosed, but it is believed to have an output of around 1,000 hp. Its price tag will likely be closer to $250,000 than to seven figures.

Porsche showcased the rest of the updated 2025 Taycan range in February, confirming that the Taycan Turbo S, currently the most potent variant, will have an output of 938 hp, up 188 hp from the current rating.
Porsche also confirmed that pricing for the 2025 Taycan range will top out at $210,995, though this likely does not include the new flagship.
Sales for the 2025 Taycan range will begin this summer, though it remains unclear if the flagship will be available at launch.
