PORSCHE TAYCAN GTS WITH TAYCAN SPORT TURISMO RACETRACK REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan GTS, presented in both its sedan and new Sport Turismo (wagon) body styles, is reviewed as the sportiest model in the Taycan lineup, positioned between the 4S and Turbo variants. The GTS distinguishes itself with a darker aesthetic, standard Matrix LED headlights, and optional carbon-ceramic brakes. The Sport Turismo variant offers a practical advantage with its increased trunk space (450 liters, expandable to 1210 liters with seats folded) and easier loading compared to the sedan, though the sedan is noted for its more traditional, aesthetically pleasing roofline. Interior highlights include extensive Alcantara trim, a standard stiffer air suspension, and an optional electrochromatic panoramic roof offering a unique electronic shading feature. Performance figures boast 600 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque, with a 0-100 km/h time of 3.7 seconds. On the racetrack, the GTS impresses with its performance and handling, aided by a lower center of gravity and a stiffer suspension setup, though its considerable weight is a factor in dynamic driving. The reviewer notes that while the GTS is software-tuned down from the Turbo/Turbo S, its driving dynamics are exceptional, making it a compelling, albeit expensive, choice for performance EV enthusiasts.
