What's New for 2024?

The 2024 Porsche Taycan GTS represents the exhilarating send-off for this particular iteration, as a significantly updated Taycan range was announced for the 2025 model year. For this final 2024 GTS, it carries forward the refined features and potent performance established in previous years. Think of it as the ultimate evolution of the original GTS vision, packing all the tech and dynamic prowess that made this trim a fan favourite. Essentially, you're getting a well-honed, high-performance EV package before the big generational shift, making it a distinct choice for collectors and enthusiasts.

Design & Exterior

Phwoar! The Taycan GTS just oozes aggression and class. At 4963 mm long, 1966 mm wide, and a sleek 1381 mm tall, it's got that low-slung, purposeful Porsche stance. The GTS gets unique SportDesign package elements, often with lashings of black or dark accents on the front apron, side skirts, and rear diffuser, giving it a stealthier, more menacing vibe than its siblings. Standard Satin Black Taycan Turbo S Aero Design wheels and signature Porsche LED Matrix headlights complete the look, ensuring this electrifying machine turns heads wherever it silently prowls.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Slide inside the Taycan GTS, and you’re greeted by a cabin dripping with sporty luxury, often featuring loads of Race-Tex and dark brushed aluminium. It’s a focused, driver-centric cockpit with Porsche’s superb build quality. There's comfortable seating for five, and while it’s a sleek coupé, rear passenger space is decent. Luggage? You get a practical 407-litre boot, plus a handy 84-litre frunk for your charge cables or a weekend bag. The tech is top-notch, with curved digital displays, excellent infotainment, and seamless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, keeping you connected and entertained.

Performance & Driving Experience

Hold on tight! The Taycan GTS launches like a scalded cheetah, hitting 0-100 km/h in a blistering 3.7 seconds. That’s thanks to its dual PMSM motors (one front, one rear) kicking out a mighty 440 kW and a colossal 850 Nm of torque through its all-wheel-drive system. This isn't just straight-line speed; the GTS offers sublime handling, with adaptive air suspension tuned for a perfect blend of comfort and agility. The steering is communicative, the brakes are mega, and the instant torque makes carving up B-roads an absolute joy. It’s an EV that truly feels alive!

Range, Battery & Charging

The Taycan GTS packs an 83.7 kWh usable battery, delivering a real-world range estimated by Green Cars Compare at around 400 km – pretty solid for spirited driving! Efficiency is rated at 4.78 km/kWh. Its 800V architecture means super-fast DC charging up to 268 kW, zapping the battery from 5-80% in under 23 minutes. At home, the standard 11 kW AC charger (with an optional 22 kW upgrade) replenishes it overnight via its CCS Type 2 port. While it can use 400V DC chargers, power is limited to 50kW there.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Safety is paramount, and the Taycan GTS scores a top five-star rating from Euro NCAP. Porsche loads it with tech to keep you safe and sound. Expect essentials like multiple airbags and stability control as standard. Key driver-assistance systems often include Lane Keep Assist and Verkehrszeichenerkennung (traffic sign recognition). Features like Porsche InnoDrive with adaptive cruise control, Active Lane Keeping, and Night Vision Assist are typically available, often as part of optional packages, letting you spec it up to be your high-tech guardian angel on the autobahn or city streets.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Porsche typically backs the Taycan GTS with a 2-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty in Europe, which is pretty standard for premium brands. Crucially, the high-voltage battery gets a more extensive 8-year or 160,000 km warranty, guaranteeing at least 70% of its original capacity, giving you peace of mind. Maintenance is generally less frequent than petrol Porsches, thanks to fewer moving parts. While Porsche servicing isn't cheap, reliability for the Taycan platform has proven to be strong, reflecting Porsche's engineering prowess. Always check specifics with your local dealer for the latest details.
