One thousand ninety-two horsepower. Zero-to-60-mph in 2.1 seconds. A faster lap time around the famed Laguna Seca race course than a GT4 race car.
Those are just a few achievements behind the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT – a sedan the company calls the “most powerful series-production Porsche of all time.”
A New Trend – High-Performance EVs
Many automakers today make at least one seemingly impossible car. It’s an artifact of the early electric vehicle (EV) era. Luxury electric sedans like the Tesla Model S, Porsche Taycan, and Lucid Air offer seating for four adults, a raft of high-end creature comforts, and surprising speed.
But each automaker also sells a high-performance version. The Model S Plaid and Lucid Air Sapphire each offer acceleration not far from Formula 1 numbers despite family seating. The Taycan GT is Porsche’s answer.
The 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT starts at $231,995 (including delivery fee). Porsche hasn’t revealed pricing for the optional weight-saving Weissach Package.
These wondercars work because of the nature of electric motors. Gasoline engines build torque over several seconds as they accelerate. Electric motors instantly offer 100% of their torque, allowing speed-focused engineers to push new boundaries.
Porsche engineers have used this electric motor property to produce the most potent factory model in the brand’s history.
The 2025 Taycan Turbo GT uses a dual-motor setup like the rest of the 2025 Taycan lineup. But the rear motor is more powerful, putting down 777 hp in everyday driving. Launch control boosts that to 1,019, and a 2-second power burst pushes it to 1,092.
An optional Weissach Package strips 157 pounds of weight out with liberal use of carbon fiber to slightly increase acceleration figures.
The car comes standard with “special performance summer tires mounted on 21-inch lightweight forged wheels and Porsche Active Ride suspension, with Turbo GT-specific tuning,” Porsche says. Even the wheel spokes are milled to save weight.
Ceramic brakes are standard, with calipers “painted exclusively in Victory Gold.”
Wings Front and Rear, Optional Carbon Fiber Everything
This Taycan will be easy to spot on the road. The Turbo GT wears a unique front spoiler and an adaptive rear spoiler with a moveable Gurney flap. “The SportDesign side skirts feature carbon fiber inlays, the upper portion of the exterior mirrors are in carbon fiber, and unique to the Turbo GT models- the B-pillars are finished in carbon fiber. The trims of the side windows are painted in high-gloss black.”
For the first year, Porsche will offer six exclusive colors not found on other models, including the Purple Sky Metallic pictured.
Inside, we hope you like black. Race-Tex and leather seats come only in the darkest color. A unique Turbo GT logo decorates the headrests.
