Austin Irwin has worked for Car and Driver for over 10 years in various roles. He's steadily worked his way from an entry-level data entry position into driving vehicles for photography and video, and is now reviewing and testing cars. What will he do next? Who knows, but he better be fast.
Porsche invited us to drive the improved 2025 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo EV over the manifold curvy roads of Georgia, probably hoping we would leave impressed enough to reiterate all that we've learned. Like mentioning its 690 horsepower, its improved max charge rate of 320 kilowatts, or doing something as foolish as speculating how much the automaker has improved upon the previous model's 233-mile range. Well, they almost had us. We nearly did it.
Thanks to all that torque, the GTS always found the room to pass before lanes merged or oncoming traffic appeared. Like in the 911, squirreling the GTS wagon through tighter corners returned nothing but smiles and poise, and the Taycan's missing exhaust note only enhanced the dramatics when the Pirelli P Zero PZ4 Elect summer rubber began to cry under duress. The optional Porsche Active Ride dampers hide the car's mass well.
