Key Takeaways

Porsche's electric GTS has always occupied the Goldilocks zone of the Taycan lineup. Not as unhinged as the Turbo variants, but sharper than the base models.

Now it's gotten serious.

The 2025 Taycan GTS just gained 100 horsepower over last year's model. That's not a typo.

The Numbers That Matter

Base output climbs to 596 horsepower – already impressive – but engage launch control and you'll unleash a face-melting 690 hp.

The results speak for themselves:

  • 0-60 mph: 3.1 seconds (down from 3.5)
  • Quarter-mile: 11.1 seconds (nearly half a second quicker)
  • Battery capacity: 105 kWh (up from 93.4)

Porsche didn't just add power and call it a day. They retuned the chassis, recalibrated the motors, and enhanced the thermal management.

You can feel it. Immediately.

Two Flavors of Fast

Choose your weapon: traditional sedan or Sport Turismo wagon. Both pack identical performance.

The wagon adds practicality without sacrificing a millisecond of performance. Rare in today's market.

Charging speeds have improved too. The new pack accepts up to 320 kW, which means 10-80% charge in 18 minutes when you find the right DC fast charger.

That's barely enough time to grab a coffee.

The Sweet Spot Gets Sweeter

The GTS has always been the driver's choice in the Taycan range. It balances raw speed with handling finesse in a way the Turbo models sometimes miss.

With this power bump, it's no longer the middle child seeking attention.

It's the one you want.

The push-to-pass feature delivers an additional 94 hp boost for 10 seconds when you need it. Like having nitrous on demand, minus the Hollywood explosions.

Porsche's EV game has matured. The Taycan GTS proves electric performance cars don't need to be one-dimensional dragstrip heroes.

They can be proper driver's cars too.
