What’s new for the 2025 Taycan Turbo GT?
Driving will never be the same in Houston streets with the 2025 Porsche Taycan GT, now featuring new power electronics in the powertrain for enhanced dynamic performance. Porsche has significantly enhanced the Taycan lineup, boosting overall system power and introducing a new rear-axle motor for improved dynamic performance. The Taycan Turbo GT and the Weissach Package edition emerge as the pinnacle of sportiness in the Taycan series, featuring advanced power electronics and a more potent pulse inverter. These models boast 777 hp, which can surge to 1019 hp with Launch Control and even hit 1092 hp for brief moments, elevating the Taycan’s performance to unprecedented levels. Additionally, the pulse inverter, critical for electric motor control in the Taycan Turbo GT models, now uses 900-amp units on the rear axle, offering greater power and torque than the 600-amp versions in the Turbo S. Enhanced with silicon carbide semiconductors, these inverters improve efficiency by minimizing switching losses and allowing higher frequencies. The gearbox has been strengthened for higher torque, maxing out at 1,340 Nm (988 lb-ft), showcasing significant improvements in performance and durability.

Performance
Carbon fiber components and Porsche Active Ride: Lightweight construction and advanced chassis
The 2024 Taycan Turbo GT is equipped with 21-inch lightweight forged wheels and high-performance summer tires, complemented by Porsche Active Ride suspension specially tuned for the Turbo GT. This setup guarantees superior handling by maintaining an optimal road connection and evenly distributing the load during dynamic maneuvers. The unique design of the wheels, with relief-milled spokes, not only reduces weight but also improves brake ventilation, contributing to the vehicle’s enhanced performance.
Lightweight ceramic brakes also come standard in the new Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. According to Porsche, “Based on the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB), the brake system has been optimized from a weight perspective. Design changes to the brake disc chamber and the brake caliper housing shave off more than four pounds. This has a positive effect on both the driving dynamics and performance: reducing the unsprung and rotating masses enhances performance. The brake calipers are painted exclusively in Victory Gold.”

Porsche Taycan Turbo GT “Attack Mode”
Activating “Attack Mode” unleashes an extra 120 kW (160 hp) for 10 seconds at the push of a button, enhancing the Taycan’s overtake capability. This advanced feature, inspired by 99X racing cars, is designed for track use, offering a visual boost countdown and animated display in the cockpit for a thrilling, race-inspired driving experience. “Attack Mode” enhances power by an additional 50 kW and is activated in various ways: Porsche explains, “as an alternative to pressing the mode switch that’s mounted just off to the side of the steering wheel, “Attack Mode” can also be activated and deactivated via the right-hand paddle. This makes the function easier to use on the track. “You can also trigger the boost with racing gloves, and without taking a hand off the wheel,” explains Kern. “With this simple and fast means of operation, the Taycan Turbo GT models are tailored for track use.” With the left steering wheel paddle, the recuperation level can be set and adapted to the driving situation.”

Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package
Porsche has lowered the weight of the Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach Package by up to 157 lbs in comparison to the Taycan Turbo S by using a strategic application of carbon fiber components in the B-pillars, upper shells on the door mirrors, and side skirt inlays. Weight savings are further achieved through a lighter luggage compartment and the removal of the electric soft-close trunk feature, enhancing the vehicle’s overall performance and efficiency.
Additionally, aerodynamic enhancements include underbody air deflectors and a new front diffuser. The Weissach Package equips the rear with a fixed carbon fiber wing, supporting up to 485 lbs of downforce, and displays the Weissach logo on its endplates.
