This power hike would possibly close the performance gap between the top Taycan and Tesla Model S Plaid, which already makes over 1,000 horses. However, the aerodynamic changes suggest that Porsche is chasing ultra-quick lap times, not just straight-line dominance.
Earlier this year, the Model S Plaid managed a record Nurburgring lap time of 7:25.231 minutes, beating the Taycan Turbo S’ previous record. Porsche will want to take back its crown as soon as possible, and the Taycan Turbo GT would be the perfect car for the job.
Like the wickedly quick Cayenne Turbo GT Coupe, the Taycan Turbo GT will likely receive a retuned and lowered suspension, different tires, and carbon-ceramic brakes. Considering that the camo has been removed, we expect the official reveal of the Taycan Turbo GT – if that’s what it’s called – to happen soon.
