BREAK THE RECORD – Is called Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and it is the most powerful Porsche ever made. The German electric sedan is made in two versions: the “standard” Turbo GT and the variant with the Weissach package, designed specifically for use on the track. At maximum power both cars are able to develop (for a few seconds) up to 1,108 HP. Impressive numbers that have allowed the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach to establish a new record in Laguna Seca (California), in the category reserved for series electric cars, completing a lap in 1:27.87.

CARBON IN ABUNDANCE – Compared to the Taycan Turbo S, the new one Porsche Taycan Turbo GT weighs 75 kg less. A result achieved thanks to the massive use of carbon fiber. The latter is used on the pillars, on the external mirror shells and on the inserts of the side skirts. Porsche also added one front splitter with aerodynamic appendages specifically designed for the Taycan Turbo GT. The 21″ light alloy wheels feature raised milled spokes which allow for further weight savings and, at the same time, guarantee effective ventilation of the brakes.
