Taycan Turbo GT
The most powerful production Porsche ever made, shown here with the lightweight Weissach package, which removes the rear seats and swaps parts for carbon fibre to save weight.

How it works
5 ideas that make Taycan Turbo GT different

Attack Mode
A button on the steering wheel releases up to 120 kW of extra power for 10 seconds, borrowed from motor racing. It's meant for overtaking on a track, then has to recharge before it can be used again.
A two-speed gearbox
Most EVs have a single gear. The Taycan has two on the rear axle: a short one for launching hard off the line and a long one for efficiency and top speed.
Lighter with fewer seats
The Weissach package removes the rear seats and swaps parts for carbon fibre, saving 70 kg. With it, Porsche quotes 2.2 s to 100 km/h instead of 2.3 s, and a top speed of 305 km/h instead of 290.
800 volts for charging
Porsche was among the first to use an 800-volt system in a production EV. It lets the Taycan charge at up to about 320 kW, from 10% to 80% in around 18 minutes.
Built to lap, not just launch
Many fast EVs overheat after a few hard minutes. The Taycan's cooling lets it keep its pace lap after lap, and it set a 7:07.55 lap of the Nürburgring.

Identity
Performance
What this means
Electric motors deliver full pulling force from a standstill, with no gears to change, which is why electric cars dominate acceleration. Below about 2 seconds, the limit is mostly grip: how hard the tyres can push on the road before spinning.
What this means
Top speed is a test of power against air resistance, which rises with the square of speed: going from 300 to 400 km/h takes roughly twice the power. EVs have usually been limited here, because sustained high speed drains batteries and overheats motors quickly.
What this means
Power is how fast a car can turn stored energy into motion. One kilowatt is about 1.36 metric horsepower (PS). These cars produce several times the power of a typical family EV, often from three or four motors, one per wheel or axle.
What this means
The Nürburgring Nordschleife is a 20.8 km track in Germany with 73 corners. A lap time tests everything at once: acceleration, braking, cornering and whether the battery and motors can keep performing without overheating.
Battery and charging
What this means
Battery capacity, in kilowatt-hours, is the size of the fuel tank. Hypercars usually carry smaller batteries than you might expect, around 80–100 kWh, because a heavier battery slows a car down in corners and under braking.
What this means
A higher-voltage system moves the same power with less current, so cables can be thinner and lighter and charging can be faster. Most EVs use 400 V; these cars use 800 V or more.
What this means
Fast charging depends on how much power the battery can safely accept, not just the charger. Quoted times are usually for 10–80%, because charging slows down near full to protect the cells.
Body
What this means
Batteries are heavy, so electric sports cars weigh more than petrol ones of similar size. Weight blunts cornering and braking, which is why makers chase it with carbon fibre and smaller packs.
