Even the base Porsche Taycan is quick. The standard model gets to 100kph in 4.5 seconds and the top-end Turbo S model does that in about 2.3 seconds with launch control. Now there's a new king of acceleration and all-around performance in the Taycan lineup, the 2025 Taycan Turbo GT.

The Turbo GT is the most powerful Taycan the company has ever built—and if you count the 10 seconds of overboost, it’s also the most powerful Porsche ever. Period. Full stop. It has 777 horsepower standard and 1340 Newton-Meters of torque, or up to 1,019 hp with the new Attack Mode function.

Much like push-to-pass available on other Taycan models, Attack Mode offers an extra jolt of power for 10-second increments. But while push-to-pass only adds an extra 70 kilowatts, Attack Mode sends up to 120 kilowatts to all four wheels. And now you can activate it simply by tugging on the right paddle shifter—although Porsche says Attack Mode is primarily for track use, wink wink.

Launch control uncorks the full 1,092 hp for two seconds, sending the Turbo GT to 100kph in 2.2 seconds—or 2.1 seconds with the lightweight Weissach track package (the first four-door Porsche with that option). That's up to two-tenths of a second quicker than the Taycan Turbo S. It takes 6.6 seconds for the Turbo GT to reach 200 kph, or 6.4 seconds with the Weissach package. And the top track speed is 300, or 310 kph with the Weissach pack.

The secret to that newfound speed is a pulse inverter that uses silicon carbide to send up to 900 amps to the rear motor instead of just 600 amps in the Turbo S model. Paired with a new rear-axle motor—found across the updated Taycan lineup—it delivers more power and efficiency in a lighter package. It's about 8 Kg lighter than the outgoing rear motor, and the entire Turbo GT is up to 72 Kg lighter than the Turbo S (with the Weissach package).
