Porsche Taycan Turbo GT pricing: $416k hero revealed

This is the Taycan Turbo GT. It still has no turbo, but it’s comfortably Porsche’s most powerful series production model of all time.

With up to 815kW and 1340Nm at its disposal, the Taycan Turbo GT claims a 0-100km/h time of just 2.2 seconds.

For those keeping score, those numbers make the Taycan Turbo GT markedly quicker than not only the Taycan Turbo S (2.8sec) but also the tightly-packed Porsche 918, 991 Turbo S and 991.2 GT2 RS trio (2.6, 2.7 and 2.8sec respectively).

To achieve this level of performance, Porsche has equipped the Taycan Turbo GT with a more powerful and efficient pulse inverter on the rear axle, using silicon carbide semiconductor materials.

An expanded use of carbon-fibre has also reduced total weight by up to 75kg compared to the 2295kg Taycan Turbo S.

Accessing the Turbo GT’s highest performance capability comes through the new 'Attack Mode', delivering up to 120kW more (to achieve that 815kW figure) for 10 seconds. This feature is inspired by the push-to-pass function used in Formula E racing cars, providing an instant increase in power for overtaking or achieving faster lap times.

All of this comes together to give the Taycan Turbo GT new record lap times for an EV in its Weissach Package form, hitting 1:27.87min at Laguna Seca and 7:07.55 on the Nordschleife.

That impressive latter figure, while 26 seconds quicker than the Taycan Turbo S managed, is outdone by a number of recent petrol-powered Porsche heroes. [↗]
