Video Summary
The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Weissach edition is the most powerful production Porsche ever. It achieves 0-60 mph in 2.1 seconds. This is Porsche's response to the Tesla Model S Plaid and Lucid Air Sapphire.Key features of the Turbo GT Weissach edition include a front diffuser, side blades designed to channel air down the side, Turbo GT-specific forged wheels, and a giant carbon fiber rear wing with the Weissach logo. The reviewed car is riding on Pirelli P Zero R tires with 21-inch rims.
The Weissach edition has had the rear seats ripped out for weight savings and features carbon fiber bucket seats. This amounts to a savings of roughly 20 pounds in a vehicle that weighs around 5,000 pounds. There is a cubby hole behind the front seats to hold a couple soft bags.
Pulling the paddle with "plus" engages attack mode, giving 1092 horsepower for up to 10 seconds. On the standard Turbo GT, you get two individual rear chairs and you push a button to engage full power mode, but the Weissach edition uses the paddle.
What the reviewer dislikes: The brake pedal is soft and the ABS threshold comes in early compared to the GT gas cars.
Porsche is keeping its brand DNA with the Taycan Turbo GT despite losing the engine noise. It is fun and still feels like a Porsche, and is brutally fast. They were able to produce a proper sports car, and this car shows what Porsche can do. The reviewer thinks it’s a pretty cool toy.
