The cars benefit from extensive upgrades, including a new rear-axle motor and innovative power electronics, pushing the boundaries of electric sports sedan capabilities.
With a focus on lightweight construction and advanced chassis technologies, such as Porsche Active Ride suspension and ceramic brakes, the Taycan Turbo GT models deliver an exhilarating driving experience. Aerodynamic enhancements and exclusive design elements, including carbon fiber components and unique paint finishes, underscore the models’ sporty and prestigious appeal.
