title：Porsche Taycan Turbo GT: 2024 Review & Performance Breakdown

content：Is the Taycan Turbo GT a True Porsche GT?

If you’ve ever wondered if an electric car can deliver the thrills of a Porsche GT model, the 2024 Taycan Turbo GT is here to answer. AutoCar’s test drive at Spain’s Circuit Monteblanco gives us a close look at this range-topping EV. After diving into their review, I think this car pushes EV performance boundaries—but it’s not quite the raw, mechanical joy of a 911 GT3.

Key Technical Overhaul

The Taycan Turbo GT isn’t just a facelift. Under the skin, it gets a new rear motor (80kW more peak power than the old model), a 105kWh battery (up from 93kWh) with adjusted nickel-manganese-cobalt chemistry for faster charging/discharging, and a silicon carbide inverter to maintain consistent power on track. The biggest upgrade? The standard Porsche Active Ride System—a hydraulic suspension that cancels roll, tilts into corners, and adjusts posture for acceleration/braking.

Blistering Speed & Track Capability

With 1,093 hp (during launch control) and a 2.2-second 0-62mph time, the Turbo GT is faster than most supercars. It hits 190mph top speed and generates 220kg of downforce with the Visc package (a £184k option that cuts 75kg via carbon fiber parts and lightweight glazing). Launch control feels visceral—AutoCar’s test driver noted it rearranged their innards, but it’s still smooth enough for daily use.

The Turbo GT is fast, but is it fun? AutoCar’s test shows it’s a mixed bag. On standard P Zero tires, it understeers in tight corners and lacks the feedback of Porsche’s gasoline GT cars. Switching to Pirelli Trofeo RS tires fixes most of this—improving grip and making the car feel more responsive.

How It Stacks Up

Against the Tesla Model S Plaid (1,020 hp, 1.99s 0-60mph), the Turbo GT is slower in straight lines but better balanced on track. It’s also more luxurious, with a refined interior and updated infotainment. However, it’s pricier—£184k vs the Plaid’s ~£115k.

Quick Checklist

1. Test drive the Turbo GT with Trofeo RS tires for optimal track feel.

3. Compare real-world range (422 miles claimed) with your daily commute.
4. Read AutoCar’s full review for in-depth performance data.
