2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT: Everything Confirmed So Far

Porsche has taken the curtains off the 2025 Taycan Turbo GT, the new top dog in the Taycan lineup. The high-performance electric vehicle arrives with a bang on the world stage, emerging as the fastest production EV around the iconic Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca. With Porsche development driver Lars Kern behind the wheel, the new Taycan GT with the Weissach package posted a lap time of 1:27.87. This new lap record follows his 7:07.55 time in a pre-production model around the Nordschleife in 2022.

The new Taycan Turbo GT and the Turbo GT with the Weissach package offer more power, lightweight materials, and angrier aerodynamics than the Taycan Turbo S, making it the most powerful electric vehicle made by Porsche. Prices start at $230,000, and Porsche promises deliveries in the summer 2024. Here is everything confirmed about this new high-performance EV so far.

In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from Porsche and other authoritative sources.

The Taycan Turbo GT Can Sprint To 60 MPH In 2.1 Seconds

Like the Taycan Turbo S, the Turbo GT models (without and with the Weissach package) have a dual motor setup. However, the rear electric motor on the Turbo GT is equipped with a more powerful pulse inverter. The result is a base power output of 777 horsepower, an increase of 13 horsepower over the Turbo S. Switching on the launch control mode dials things up a notch, taking the total system output to 1,019 horsepower or up to 1,092 horsepower for two seconds.

A higher power output means the Taycan Turbo GT can sprint from a standstill to 60 mph in 2.2 seconds. The 60 mph time is 2.1 seconds on the Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach package, two-tenths of a second quicker than the Turbo S. The Turbo GT can clock a top speed of 180 mph, while the Weissach package takes it up to 190 mph.

More Current And Higher Torque

The more powerful pulse inverter on the Turbo GT models sends 900 amps of maximum current to the rear axle, 300 amps more than the pulse inverter used in the Turbo S. This helps increase the power and torque outputs, the latter of which now stands at 988 pound-feet. Porsche has reworked the gear ratios and strengthened the Taycan GT’s two-speed transmission to handle this performance increase.

160 Horsepower Boost With The Attack Mode

In addition to the launch control function, the Taycan Turbo GT and Turbo GT with the Weissach package have an Attack Mode. This feature is operated by pulling on the right-hand paddle on the steering wheel, providing a 10-second 160 horsepower boost.

Porsche says the Attack Mode is optimized for track use and inspired by a similar function on its 99X Formula E race cars. When triggered, this mode will prompt a countdown on the Taycan’s instrument cluster accompanied by illuminated rings around the digital speedometer.

The Taycan Turbo GT Comes With Weight Optimized Wheels And Brakes

Porsche has taken a few measures to reduce the weight of the Taycan Turbo GT. Though the weight-saving measures on the Turbo GT without the Weissach package aren’t as extreme as the one with the package (more on that later), it still shaves off a few pounds compared to the Turbo S.

Lightweight Wheels, Brakes, And Porsche’s Active Ride Suspension

The Taycan Turbo GT has high-performance summer tires wrapped around 21-inch lightweight forged wheels. The wheels have specially designed spokes that help save weight and aid in better brake ventilation. Porsche has also optimized its Active Ride suspension for the Turbo GT with specific tuning.

The Turbo GT’s weight savings aren’t limited to the wheels. Porsche has also fitted its newest electric performance car with lightweight ceramic brakes. Changes were also made to the brake disc chamber and brake caliper housing, reducing four pounds.

Exterior Styling Upgrades For A Sportier Vibe

The exterior styling of the Taycan Turbo GT is similar to that of the standard Taycan models. However, a handful of changes make it look sportier. The Turbo GT comes with a few aerodynamic upgrades as well. These include a specially designed front spoiler with aero blades and an adaptive rear spoiler with a carbon fiber weave finish Gurney flap.

Carbon Fiber Trim All-Around

To save weight and to give the exterior of the Taycan Turbo GT a sportier vibe, Porsche has used carbon fiber trim on the exterior mirrors and B-pillars. The side skirts on this electric performance sedan also feature carbon fiber inlays.

When the Taycan Turbo GT models go on sale later this year, they will be available in two exclusive paint options: Pale Blue Metallic and Purple Sky Metallic. While the ‘Turbo GT’ logo on the trunk is available in matte black, you can configure the Taycan logo on the doors and front bonnet in matte black, gloss black, or Volt Blue.

The Taycan Turbo GT Has A Sporty Interior With Full Bucket Seats

Save for a handful of aesthetic differences, the interior of the new Taycan Turbo GT is identical to the rest of the Taycan lineup. You get a plethora of screens, which include a 16.8-inch instrument cluster, a 10.9-inch infotainment screen, an 8.4-inch climate control unit, and a 10.9-inch display for the front passenger.

18-way Adjustable Sports Seats

Black leather upholstery is standard on this new fast Porsche EV. Seats from the regular Taycan lineup have been swapped with 18-way adjustable bucket seats. The Turbo GT logo has been embroidered on the front headrests, and you can have contrasting tones on the interior equipment in the shade of Volt Blue or GT Silver.

Standard Sports Chrono Package

The Taycan Turbo GT comes standard with Porsche’s Sport Chrono package. This includes goodies such as a heated GT steering wheel with a 12 o’clock marking, performance-oriented chassis tuning, Porsche’s Active Aerodynamics, Sports Plus mode, and PSM mode, as well as the fancy Porsche Design dashboard clock.

Track-focused Weissach Package Takes Things Up A Notch

The Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach package is the most track-focused model in the 2025 Taycan range. Multiple aerodynamic and chassis upgrades give it a two-tenth-of-a-second advantage in the dash to 60 mph over the Turbo S and a top speed of 190 mph.

Lightweight Construction Saves 157 Pounds Over The Taycan Turbo S

The Weissach package uses carbon fiber trim on the outside mirrors, B-pillars, and side skirts, among many other weight-saving measures. Porsche stripped the interior of anything not needed for track use. The rear seats have been replaced with lightweight carbon fiber cladding, creating a storage space behind the front seats. You still get the Sports Chrono package with the Weissach package but without the Porsche Design dashboard clock. Floor and trunk mats have also been eliminated.

The charge port door on the driver’s side has been removed. The passenger side port remains, but it is operated manually. The electric soft close function of the trunk lid has also been done away with. The Turbo GT with the Weissach package uses lighter window glass and removes the Bose sound system and rear speakers.

Aerodynamic Improvements Generate Additional 485 Pounds Of Downforce

In addition to the aggressive weight-saving measures, the Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach Package has several aerodynamic upgrades. These include a new front diffuser, air deflector elements on the underbody, and a fixed rear wing with a carbon fiber weave pattern. All of these upgrades result in 485 pounds of extra downforce compared to the Turbo S.

Exclusive Wraps And GT Interior Package

Though the Weissach package strips the Taycan Turbo GT of non-essential luxuries, Porsche offers exclusive wraps to spice up the exterior. The Weissach package has striped blue, black, and matte black wraps with contrasting black decals. On the inside, you get the GT interior package with the Weissach logo on the passenger side and contrasting stitching in either blue or black.
