The tech behind the Taycan Turbo GT’s shocking specs
The secret to the Turbo GT’s incredible performance lies in its upgraded pulse inverter on the rear axle. With a current capacity boosted to 900 amperes - up from the Turbo S’s 600 - this component works like a high-powered pump, pushing energy more efficiently to the rear motor. Using advanced silicon carbide materials, the system cuts energy losses and ramps up performance, propelling the car to an incredible top speed of 305 km/h.
Christian Müller, Porsche’s Technical Project Manager, and his team also reworked the two-speed transmission to handle the increased torque. Strengthened components and a longer gear ratio not only improve durability but also help the Turbo GT achieve its incredible acceleration. Other tweaks include aerodynamic upgrades, lightweight ceramic brakes, and exclusive 21-inch forged wheels wrapped in some sticky rubber.
For those seeking the ultimate track EV, the Weissach package trims 70 kilograms by removing rear seats and other extras. This version rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.2 seconds and hits 200 km/h in a mere 6.4 seconds, setting records at iconic tracks like the Nürburgring and Laguna Seca.
Borrowing tech from Porsche’s Formula E program, features like Attack Mode add up to 120 kW of extra power for short bursts, enhancing its already phenomenal capabilities. Whether on the track or the road, the Taycan Turbo GT proves electric sports cars can deliver heart-pounding excitement without compromise.
