Porsche published an official teaser of a new performance-focused Taycan, announcing it will debut on March 11. The new derivative of the electric Porsche is dubbed the “most dynamic Taycan of all time” and is expected to inherit the Turbo GT moniker, joining the lineup of Porsche’s most extreme offerings. The single teaser of the profile reveals the aggressive aero package that includes a fixed rear wing – similar to the prototypes caught by spy photographers and the pre-production prototype shown by Porsche earlier this year.
The fastest Taycan ever lapped the
Nurburgring in a record-beating 7:07.55. This is a full 18 seconds faster than
the rival Tesla Model S Plaid, and only 2.25 seconds slower than the Rimac
Nevera hypercar. Besides the wing, the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT will feature a
splitter and a diffuser with integrated side fins, alongside a new set of alloy
wheels. More importantly, it will feature a more aggressive chassis setup and
possibly benefit from more power and less weight. Bear in mind that the
recently facelifted Taycan Turbo S makes up to 939 hp from
dual electric motors, propelling it from 0-97 km/h in 2.3 seconds.
Rumor has it that the Turbo GT will produce over 1,000 hp.
The presentation of the new Taycan flagship
trim will be hosted by Formula E pit lane reporter Nicki Shields, Porsche’s
vice-president Kevin Giek, former Le Mans driver Timo Benhard, and test driver
Lars Kern who is responsible for the impressive lap time at the Green Hell.
