THE MOST POWERFUL PORSCHE EVER - TAYCAN TURBO GT - A LINEUP LEVELED UP

EV Channels Review

The latest generation Porsche Taycan, particularly the Turbo GT, represents a significant leap forward in EV technology. The reviewer highlights substantial improvements across the board: increased battery capacity (105 kWh gross, 99.7 kWh usable) and efficiency, leading to a claimed 34% range increase. Weight has been reduced despite the larger battery, and power output is dramatically enhanced, with the Turbo GT boasting up to 815 kW (approx. 1100 hp) and achieving 0-100 km/h in 2.2 seconds. Charging speeds are also improved, with a 10-80% charge in 18 minutes, and crucially, the battery can now fast charge effectively at lower temperatures (down to 15°C from 35°C). The powertrain benefits from new silicon carbide inverters, enabling higher current delivery. The standout feature is the new Porsche Active Ride suspension, which uses electric motors and pumps at each damper to actively control ride height and eliminate pitch, dive, and roll, enhancing both performance and comfort. While the reviewer notes a compromise in brake pedal feel due to blended regen and friction braking, the overall consensus is that the new Taycan, especially the Turbo GT, is a vastly superior offering, making current owners due for an upgrade.
