The 2025 Porsche Taycan lineup culminates in the awe-inspiring Turbo GT, marking a new era for the German automaker. This isn’t just the most potent Taycan; it’s the most powerful production Porsche ever created, a testament to the brand’s commitment to electric performance.
Electrifying Performance: A New Benchmark
The Taycan Turbo GT’s dual-motor all-wheel drive system, featuring a new rear electric motor and a more robust pulse inverter, delivers an astounding 777 horsepower. Engaging launch control boosts this figure to a staggering 1,019 hp, with a peak output of 1,092 hp achievable for up to two seconds. This power translates to a breathtaking 988 pound-feet of torque.
Weissach Package: Elevating Performance Further
For those seeking the ultimate in performance, the optional Weissach Package offers a suite of enhancements. A fixed carbon fiber rear wing adds a claimed 485 pounds of downforce, enhancing grip and stability. Weight reduction measures include replacing the standard Bose audio system, dashboard clock, driver-side charge port, and floor mats. Lighter carbon fiber rear seats and reduced insulation further contribute to the weight savings.
Record-Breaking Speed and Acceleration
The Taycan Turbo GT catapults from zero to 60 mph in a mere 2.2 seconds, or 2.1 seconds with the Weissach Package. It reaches 124 mph in an equally impressive 6.6 seconds (6.4 seconds with the Weissach Package). The top speed reaches 180 mph in standard form and 190 mph with the Weissach Package. These figures underscore the Turbo GT’s exceptional performance capabilities.

Attack Mode: Unleashing Maximum Power
An innovative Attack Mode delivers short bursts of up to 160 hp for 10 seconds, building on the push-to-pass functionality of other Taycan models. This feature, accessible via the right-hand shift paddle or steering wheel button, provides an extra surge of power when needed.
Handling and Braking Prowess
To match its phenomenal acceleration, the Taycan Turbo GT boasts exceptional handling and braking. Standard 21-inch wheels with relief-milled spokes reduce weight and improve brake cooling. Specially tuned adaptive suspension and high-performance ceramic brakes ensure precise control and stopping power.
Setting New Lap Records
The Taycan Turbo GT has already demonstrated its track prowess, setting a new production EV lap record at Laguna Seca with a time of 1:27.87. It also conquered the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7:07.55, a remarkable 26 seconds faster than the previous Taycan Turbo S record. These achievements solidify the Turbo GT’s position as a performance leader.
Availability and Pricing
The Taycan Turbo GT is slated to arrive at dealerships this summer with a starting price of $231,995. Remarkably, the Weissach Package is included at no additional cost. The rest of the 2025 Taycan lineup receives updates including styling refinements, an enhanced battery pack, and an improved interface.
Conclusion: A New Era of Electric Performance
The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT signifies a pivotal moment in automotive history, showcasing the potential of electric power to deliver exhilarating performance. Its record-breaking speed, innovative features, and track-proven capabilities establish it as a benchmark for electric sports cars. This model represents not just the pinnacle of the Taycan lineup, but a new era for Porsche, where electric performance reigns supreme.
