Taycan Turbo GT
 
The 2025 Turbo GT can reach 60 mph in 2.1 seconds, boasts a top speed of up to 190 mph, and, with the Weissach package, drops 157 pounds compared to the Turbo S model.

Driver Lars Kern set a new lap record of 1:27.87, beating the previous record of 1.30.3.

Barely slower than Randy Pobst in the McLaren Senna at 1:27.62. A quick search and I found a 991 GT3 time of 1:31.8.

Porsche has lost their way for sure. $220k car, that will drop half its value in a 1-2 years based on the current trends.

4RS still beats it around the ring by 2 or 3 seconds.

When my MyPorsche app notified me this morning of a Porsche press event or unveiling, I was hopeful for the 992.2. Then I saw it was a Taycan, I assumed it was the Taycan.2 refresh. Then I saw it was just a Taycan above the Turbo S and realized this wasn't really a production car as much as it is a unicorn car for the very few, a just to say we did it, can do it, car.

Moving on.

I disagree, this might one of Porsches most fun eras ever

Cars like this and the cayenne GT bring as close as you can get to driving a 911 in a large suv and now a sedan

For people who drive off the track thats appealing

Since when did value retention become a core tenant of a car enthusiast? Were you a porsche owner of the past? How about my 997RS that had an MSRP of 140+ and was worth mid ~70s 3 years later? People have short memories on cars and feel they are stable or appreciating assets.

I agree with the point. Not all like change, but, this push for EV is to me the most exciting thing in the auto industry. I own 3 of the best generations of 911 (and have owned them all except 992) and look forward to the evolution coming. New experiences, new fun.

Interesting that the WP is a no-cost option.

I think I saw a video where they mentioned that the WP version has no rear seats - in a sedan car :). So very few would buy it I guess

Porsche.

The company that makes a coupe with backseats, and a sedan with none.

Because you can buy a 911 and lose little to nothing while the Taycan GT is losing $100k in 2 years? Seems relevant to almost everyone I’d imagine.

No, you imagine wrong.

Do people hate money that much? Must be nice!

Still can’t get over the fact they are calling an EV a Turbo. Just dumb.

Waiting for that counter argument bud where people are fine with pissing away 100k in 2 years...or less on an EV. Must be that new math.
