PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO GT AUTOBAHN TOP SPEED! CHASING 200 MPH IN AN ULTRA-FAST ELECTRIC CAR

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach Pack is an electrifyingly fast machine, capable of reaching speeds over 300 km/h (nearly 200 mph) on the German Autobahn. The reviewer highlights its incredible stability and relentless acceleration, even at extreme velocities, attributing much of this to the Porsche Active Ride suspension and upgraded rear motor. While the Weissach Pack focuses on weight reduction, including the removal of rear seats and sound deadening, it retains impressive performance credentials. A key takeaway is the car's thermal management; while it can overheat after extended high-speed runs, the Turbo GT demonstrates remarkable cooling capabilities and a quick recovery time, especially when compared to other EVs. The reviewer notes that while the dual-motor setup is potent, a tri-motor configuration might have been preferred for ultimate performance. Charging is exceptionally fast, with the car reaching over 300 kW and achieving a significant charge in just minutes. Despite its extreme performance, the reviewer acknowledges that the Taycan Turbo GT, especially in this configuration, pushes the boundaries of what's currently possible for electric vehicle thermal management and sustained high-speed operation.
