The Taycan GTS is the best EV yet in both saloon and Sport Turismo forms. The numbers are still big, but Porsche has gone some way to cracking electric performance car enigma -
Porsche engineers refer to the Turbo S as the power monster for the autobahn, but when it comes to driving, this is the one they’re excited about. The GTS also boasts the best range of the Taycan lineup at 313-miles from a full charge, but it’s worth noting that this has been achieved through a new version of the car’s operating software, which is being rolled out across all Taycan models.
Spotting a GTS is fairly easy too, given the amount of black trim and the Sport Design body kit they will all come with. Inside it’s awash with Porsche’s Race-tex upholstery and there’s also the option of a new panoramic roof, too, that can switch from clear to opaque at the press of a button. So, there’s a strong hint of the ICE-powered GT cars in the cabin, and it certainly looks the part from the outside, but does the GTS actually provide any more additional driver entertainment over more expensive Taycans? The first thing to say is that you won’t feel short-changed in performance terms. It may ‘only’ offer up to 590bhp, but that’s enough for 0-61mph in just 3.
Mountain hairpins beckon. Time and again you can dig really deep into the retardence of the carbon-ceramics and they show no signs of losing their edge, of juddering or of a lengthening of the stopping distance. Turn into the corner and the GTS steers the best of any Taycan I’ve felt so far – smooth, accurate and natural.
