PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO GT | INSANE FUTURE OF PERFORMANCE CARS

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT represents a significant leap in EV performance, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. The second-generation Taycan, codenamed J12, boasts substantial upgrades in drive motors, battery efficiency, and particularly its groundbreaking "Active Ride" suspension system, which effectively negates pitch and dive, offering a remarkably stable and comfortable ride. While the Turbo GT trim is an ultra-niche, track-focused variant with blistering acceleration and a sub-seven-minute Nürburgring time, the reviewer highlights its extreme price point and the inherent vagueness of its brake-by-wire system, especially under heavy track use. For the broader Taycan range, improvements in efficiency and range (mid-300s miles real-world) make it a more usable proposition, though pricing remains a significant concern, potentially alienating some customers. Compared to rivals like the Lucid Air Sapphire, the Taycan Turbo GT offers a more traditional Porsche driving feel, particularly with its mechanical rear differential, but the Lucid is noted to have a slight edge in mid-to-high-speed cornering stability and braking feel.
