Do you find the Porsche range unfathomable? Then put it away, because more new versions will be added. Porsche will present the Taycan GTS and the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo in Los Angeles. The latter is immediately the new lower alternative to the Cross Turismo.
Highlights
- Between Taycan 4S and Taycan Turbo
- Almost 600 hp strong
- More than 500 kilometers range
- Prices announced
Porsche does not only supply the 911 in an extensive range of versions, the electric Taycan is also available in countless versions. Both the Taycan and its more spacious and to this day always higher-up Cross Turismo brother are available in an unnamed base version, as a 4S, as a Turbo and as a Turbo S. Just like with cars like the 911, Porsche squeezes a small gap between the 4S and the Turbo and squeezes the GTS in between. Not only the regular Taycan will receive a GTS version, the wider and until now always Cross Turismo body variant of the Taycan will also be marinated in the GTS sauce from which it returns as GTS Sport Turismo. Lower, and so without cross frills.
Porsche Taycan GTS
The Taycan GTS and Taycan GTS Sport Turismo are 598 hp strong and nestle with that power between the 430 hp Taycan 4S and the 680 hp Taycan Turbo. This allows you to stamp the sporty intermediate versions to a speed of 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. The top speed of the Taycans GTS is 250 km/h. More interesting is the range of the two. The Taycan GTS comes up to 504 kilometers on a battery charge, making the GTS version the first Taycan to break through the limit of 500 kilometers. Porsche does not yet state which battery pack the Taycan GTS has in its base, but we are aiming for the 93 kWh battery that is standard in the Taycan Turbo and Turbo S and which is used as a Performance Battery for an additional fee in the more powerful versions of the unnamed base version. and the 4S is available.
Porsche Taycan GTS
The sportier character of the Taycans GTS compared to the 4S is not only apparent in the electric powertrain. For example, Porsche has adapted the adaptive air suspension of the cars and the co-steering rear axle, which is available at an additional cost, has also been calibrated differently. The GTS should also sound just a bit nicer on the inside than its lesser brothers, although it remains an artificial sound experience.
Porsche Taycan
From the outside, the Taycans GTS can be recognized by, among other things, the black and dark details associated with the three-letter combination GTS. We see the black finish on the side mirrors, around the side windows and in the bumper work. The interior is upholstered in black Race Tex and is finished in brushed aluminum as standard. Porsche is introducing an interesting new option on the Taycan GTS. The cars are available with a panoramic glass roof that is equipped with what Porsche calls ‘Sunshine Control’. This means that you can completely variably darken the glass roof, which is divided into several segments, at the touch of a button.
Prices Porsche Taycan GTS and GTS Sport Turismo
Porsche does not miss a moment and immediately pulls the Dutch prices of the Taycan GTS and Taycan GTS Sport Turismo from the top hat. The Taycan GTS costs at least €136,300, for the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo you will lose at least €137,300. Are you charmed by the Sport Turismo variant? Then have a little patience, because Porsche says that more engine versions for ‘the Sport Turismo’ will follow. Porsche calls the Sport Turismo the new third body variant of the Taycan. Perhaps what a lot of honor for a non-raised version that has to do without things like black plastic wheel arch edges. But it is clear that the Porsche range will be even more extensive.
