The Porsche Taycan, the battery-powered semi-supercar, debuted in 2019 as the company’s first all-electric production vehicle. From its appearance, the 2025 model doesn’t look that much different, but enough is new for Porsche to call it the second-generation Taycan.
The company has increased the model selection, now with three body variants, all-wheel and rear-wheel drive, and multiple power levels of the Porsche E-Performance motors ranging from 402 brake horsepower to 1019. All told, there are now 15 versions.
The new models have, Porsche says, “more power, longer range, accelerate faster and can be charged in less time and with greater stability. All Taycan versions feature an even more extensive standard equipment list and come with the latest generation of the Porsche Driver Experience.”
“With the wide-ranging Taycan line-up, we meet a broad range of customer wishes and mobility needs. Our three latest models exemplify this exceptional breadth,” says Kevin Giek, vice president of the model line. “Even the first generation of the Taycan GTS was already the standard-bearer for the model line, positioned between the Taycan 4S and Taycan Turbo. And the new edition is no exception.”
That new Taycan GTS now has two variants: The Taycan GTS sports saloon and Taycan GTS Sport Turismo. As a “sporty all-rounder,” the Taycan GTS has up to 690 horses of overboost power when using Launch Control – 100bhp more than its predecessor. With the new push-to-pass button in the standard Sport Chrono package, an additional power boost of up to 93bhp can be summoned for 10 seconds.
In the Taycan GTS, push-to-pass also has a sportier character, because at low speeds the torque is raised to Launch Control levels. As in the Taycan Turbo GT, the boost is indicated by a countdown timer in the instrument cluster, and “dynamically staged with animated rings on the speedometer.”
The Taycan GTS sports saloon and Taycan GTS Sport Turismo hit 0–60 mph in just 3.1 seconds – 0.4 seconds faster than their respective predecessors. The sports saloon covers the quarter-mile in 11.1 seconds, 0.7 seconds faster than before. Porsche estimates combined range at 343–390 miles on a single charge.
The Taycan GTS starts at £117,500 for the saloon and £118,300 for the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo. The order books are open, and delivery will commence in the first quarter of 2025.
