Video Summary
The Taycan GTS is a high-performance, four-door luxury vehicle. The GTS designation means Porsche has optimized it by turning already available options into something better. It's aimed squarely at the Tesla Model S. Despite its size and weight, it performs well at speed on a racetrack. Sudden power delivery takes time to get used to. The bulk of the suspension hardware comes from the Turbo. The all-wheel drive is standard, with two motors and a two-speed automatic transmission. The total power is 590 horsepower with the same torque rating as the Turbo model.The car does 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Weight largely disappears around the racetrack with the suspension setup providing great grip. There's an additional punch when the transmission shifts into high gear. EVs make for a quieter experience than gas-powered vehicles. However, this Taycan is not silent, with unique high-powered electric motor sounds.
Charging is up to 270kW for fast recharging. The touch-screen dashboard and center console have better build quality than Tesla. There's race tech materials, black trim, and GTS logos. An optional interior package adds colored stitching and seatbelts, along with carbon fiber trim and dash-top sport chrono dial. Sports seats offer the perfect bolstering.
A Sport Turismo wagon version is available. At 41 kWh/100 miles, it has a fair efficiency rating. The starting price is $135,550. It delivers performance with daily comfort. GTS models come out on top in the Porsche lineup.
