Porsche Taycan Turbo GT WP

Overview

The 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package (WP) is an absolute monster, Porsche's most powerful series-production car ever. It’s a track-scalpel designed to smash records, ditching rear seats for pure, unadulterated speed. Think of it as the Taycan's ultimate evolution, a four-door hyper-EV that laughs in the face of compromise. With a starting price around $230,000, this German missile targets enthusiasts craving mind-bending performance and exclusivity. It’s not just fast; it's a statement.

What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the entire Taycan lineup gets a major refresh, but the Turbo GT is the electrifying cherry on top – it's a brand-new, range-topping variant. This Weissach Package version is even more extreme, debuting with more power, enhanced aero including a bonkers fixed carbon rear wing, and serious lightweighting. It leverages the updated Taycan platform's improved battery tech for better sustained performance and faster charging. Essentially, Porsche has dialed everything up to eleven, creating their most potent road-legal EV yet.

Design & Exterior

Visually, the Taycan Turbo GT WP screams performance. It’s slathered in carbon fiber, including a massive fixed rear wing, unique front spoiler with aero blades, and an aggressive rear diffuser – all for max downforce. Specific lightweight forged wheels and the WP’s signature decals complete the track-ready look. Dimensions are serious: 195.6 inches long, a broad 77.4 inches wide (excluding mirrors), and a tarmac-scraping 54.3 inches tall. This thing looks like it’s doing 100 mph standing still!

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside the Turbo GT WP, it's all business. You get stunning full carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) bucket seats, ditching the rears entirely for weight saving – it’s a strict two-seater. Porsche’s Race-Tex material is everywhere, gripping you tight. The latest Porsche Communication Management (PCM) features a curved digital dash and central touchscreen, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Cargo? A decent 13 cubic feet in the trunk and a handy 3 cubic feet in the frunk. Don’t expect limo comfort; this is a focused machine.

Performance & Driving Experience

Hold on tight! The Taycan Turbo GT WP rockets from 0-60 mph in a staggering 2.1 seconds, thanks to its dual PMSM motors (front and rear) pumping out a colossal 760 kW and 988 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels. This thing is pure adrenaline! Expect razor-sharp handling from the retuned suspension and standard Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) to haul you down. "Attack Mode" unlocks even more power for short bursts. It’s a track weapon that’s surprisingly drivable, but always ready to unleash fury.

Range, Battery & Charging

Powering this beast is a 97 kWh (usable) battery pack, delivering a Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range of around 283 miles – impressive for this level of go! Efficiency is rated at 2.92 mi/kWh. Thanks to its 800V architecture, DC fast charging is mega, hitting up to 320 kW, juicing from 10-80% in as little as 18 minutes. At home, the standard 9.6 kW AC charger (optional 19.2 kW available) will top it up overnight. The US-spec port is CCS Type 1.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

While built for the track, the Taycan Turbo GT WP inherits the Taycan's strong safety core, which boasts a 5-star NHTSA and Euro NCAP rating for the standard models. Expect essential safety nets like multiple airbags and stability control. Porsche typically offers advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) like adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist, though some might be optional or even deleted on this Weissach Package to save weight. You're buying this for performance, but Porsche doesn't skimp on fundamental safety.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Porsche typically backs the Taycan with a 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty in the US. The crucial high-voltage battery usually gets an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty, often including a guarantee against excessive degradation (e.g., to 70% capacity). Powertrain coverage mirrors the basic warranty. Porsche sometimes includes the first scheduled maintenance. While it’s a high-performance EV, maintenance should be less intensive than a comparable gas-guzzler, focusing on tires, brakes, and software. Built in Germany, expect solid Porsche quality.
