Porsche Taycan Turbo GT WP

Overview

The 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package (WP) is the undisputed king of electric Porsches, a hardcore, track-focused machine designed for ultimate lap times. It ditches rear seats for pure performance, setting Nürburgring records. This two-seater monster commands a hefty price tag, starting around €240,000 in Europe. Its unique selling point is its uncompromised dedication to speed and driver engagement, making it a true electric GT car for the circuit, yet surprisingly usable day-to-day for the brave.

What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the Taycan range received a major refresh, and the Turbo GT is the electrifying new halo model birthed from this update. It boasts a more potent powertrain, a new lighter and more energy-dense Performance Battery Plus (97 kWh usable), and significantly faster charging capabilities. The Weissach Package, specific to this trim, further sheds weight (around 70 kg vs Turbo S) and adds extreme aero, making it the most track-capable Taycan ever offered in Europe and beyond. It’s Porsche pushing EV performance to a whole new level!

Design & Exterior

The Taycan Turbo GT WP screams performance with its aggressive aero package, including a massive fixed carbon-fibre rear wing and unique front splitter with aero blades – essential for track dominance. Lightweight 21-inch forged wheels are standard. Dimensions are imposing: 4968 mm long, 1966 mm wide, and a low-slung 1378 mm tall. The Weissach Package also means no rear door handles and specific decals, making it instantly recognisable as the ultimate track weapon. It’s a proper head-turner with a purpose.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the Turbo GT WP is a focused two-seater affair, thanks to the Weissach Package ditching the rear bench for a carbon-fibre clad storage area. Full bucket seats made of CFRP (carbon-fibre reinforced plastic) and trimmed in Race-Tex come standard, saving weight. The latest Taycan infotainment with optimised interface and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is present. Cargo space includes a 367-litre boot and an 84-litre frunk, totalling 451 litres – surprisingly practical for such a track beast. Quality is typically Porsche, but with a clear lightweighting mission.

Performance & Driving Experience

Hold on tight! The Taycan Turbo GT WP catapults from 0-100 km/h in a blistering 2.2 seconds. Its dual PMSM electric motors (one front, one rear for all-wheel drive) unleash a staggering 760 kW and 1340 Nm of torque in attack mode. Top speed is 305 km/h. Porsche Active Ride suspension is standard, tuned for track agility, and massive carbon-ceramic brakes ensure epic stopping power. This thing is an absolute rocket, offering an incredibly sharp and engaging driving experience.

Range, Battery & Charging

Powering this beast is a 97 kWh (usable) battery pack, delivering a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of around 456 km. Energy consumption is rated at 4.7 km/kWh. Its 800V architecture allows DC fast charging up to a mind-blowing 320 kW (or 150 kW on 400V chargers), adding range rapidly. Standard AC charging via its CCS Type 2 port is 11 kW, with an optional 22 kW unit available. It’s quick on track and quick to recharge!

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

While built for the track, the Taycan range boasts a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, providing peace of mind. The Turbo GT WP retains core safety features, but some comfort-oriented driver-assistance systems might be optional or omitted to save weight compared to lesser Taycans. Expect essentials like multiple airbags, stability control, and basic cruise control. Advanced systems like adaptive cruise or extensive lane-keeping aids are likely available but might not be the focus for this hardcore variant.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Porsche typically offers a solid warranty package. Expect a 4-year/80,000 km vehicle warranty and an 8-year/160,000 km warranty for the high-voltage battery, guaranteeing a certain percentage of its original capacity. The powertrain is usually covered under the main vehicle warranty. Porsche's reputation for build quality is high, though as a cutting-edge performance EV, maintenance should be followed diligently at specialized centres. Complimentary maintenance periods may vary by region, so check with your local dealer.
