The Turbo GT is the most powerful Taycan the company has ever built—and if you count the 10 seconds of overboost, it's also the most powerful Porsche ever. Period. Full stop. It has 777 horsepower standard and 988 pound-feet of torque, or up to 1,019 hp with the new Attack Mode function.

Much like push-to-pass available on other Taycan models, Attack Mode offers an extra jolt of power for 10-second increments. But while push-to-pass only adds an extra 70 kilowatts, Attack Mode sends up to 120 kilowatts to all four wheels. And now you can activate it simply by tugging on the right paddle shifter—although Porsche says Attack Mode is primarily for track use, wink wink.

Launch control uncorks the full 1,092 hp for two seconds, sending the Turbo GT to 60 miles per hour in 2.2 seconds—or 2.1 seconds with the lightweight Weissach track package (the first four-door Porsche with that option). That's up to two-tenths of a second quicker than the Taycan Turbo S. It takes 6.6 seconds for the Turbo GT to reach 124 mph, or 6.4 seconds with the Weissach package. And the top track speed is 180, or 190 mph with the Weissach pack.

The secret to that newfound speed is a pulse inverter that uses silicon carbide to send up to 900 amps to the rear motor instead of just 600 amps in the Turbo S model. Paired with a new rear-axle motor—found across the updated Taycan lineup—it delivers more power and efficiency in a lighter package. It's about 20 pounds lighter than the outgoing rear motor, and the entire Turbo GT is up to 157 pounds lighter than the Turbo S (with the Weissach package).

And the Taycan Turbo GT goes to great lengths to reduce weight. Carbon fiber covers the B-pillars, side mirrors, and side skirts. Porsche somehow reduced the weight of the luggage compartment (probably by removing the carpet), ditched the soft-closing doors and electric charger door, and even ripped out the analog clock that comes standard with the Sport Chrono package.
