The new Porsche Taycan Turbo S sets new standards for fast cars, not just fast EVs. It’s not like it was slow before, but the 2025 refresh is over the top.
The Taycan Turbo GT uses the same dual-electric motor setup as the Turbo S, but uses a more powerful 900-ampere pulse inverter. A pulse inverter is an unsung hero in an electric drivetrain. Everyone focuses on the batteries and motors, but these components are just as crucial. Their sole job is to convert the direct current from the battery into the three-phase current required by the electric motors.
The Turbo GT looks the part, especially in the new Purple Sky Metallic hue. It has a new front spoiler with distinctive side blades and a pronounced lip spoiler on the trunk called a “gurney flap.” Porsche took us out to Circuito Monteblanco, a small track near Seville, Spain and put us behind the wheel of a Turbo GT with the Weissach pack, where we experienced what it feels like to accelerate from zero to 200 kilometres an hour in 6.4 seconds. The wild part is it will continue to pull relentlessly until it reaches its top speed of 305 kilometres an hour. The official zero-to-100 time is 2.2 seconds, but I wouldn’t be surprised if independent tests found it to be faster.
