Porsche Taycan Turbo GT: The New King of Electric Speed in the UK
Sanjay Naker
In a bold move that cements its reputation for performance and innovation, Porsche has introduced the Taycan Turbo GT to the UK in 2025—a car that redefines what electric sports cars can achieve. With record-breaking speed, jaw-dropping acceleration, and unmistakable Porsche styling, the Taycan Turbo GT is aimed squarely at drivers who crave both electrification and extreme performance.
Blistering Performance
The Taycan Turbo GT is the most powerful production Porsche ever made. It produces up to 1,108 horsepower in overboost mode and can accelerate from 0–62 mph in just 2.2 seconds, faster than most combustion-engine supercars. It also broke the Nürburgring lap record for production EVs, beating Tesla’s Model S Plaid.
Equipped with a two-motor AWD setup, the car delivers instantaneous torque and astonishing traction, whether on straightaways or tight corners. Porsche’s new thermal management system also ensures that peak performance can be sustained longer without battery overheating.
Race-Bred Engineering
This high-performance EV features a lightweight design with extensive use of carbon fibre—especially in the roof, mirrors, and bucket seats. Porsche also introduced a new “Weissach Package” that strips out rear seats to reduce weight and optimize track performance.
Porsche Active Ride suspension and rear-wheel steering offer razor-sharp handling. The chassis has been re-engineered for precision, making the Turbo GT equally at home on racetracks and winding country roads across the UK.
Electric Range and Charging
While it's built for speed, the Taycan Turbo GT still maintains respectable electric range. The 97 kWh battery allows for up to 320 miles (WLTP) depending on driving style and setup. Thanks to 800V charging architecture, the car can charge from 10–80% in just 18 minutes using a high-power DC charger—perfect for supercar drivers who don’t want to wait.
Interior and Tech
Inside, the Taycan Turbo GT remains unmistakably Porsche: luxurious, driver-focused, and tech-laden. A curved digital display, haptic touch surfaces, and optional augmented reality HUD make it feel as futuristic as it is fast. The cabin uses premium materials, with Race-Tex upholstery and high-quality leather, all while keeping sustainability in mind.
Porsche’s infotainment system includes real-time performance data logging, track maps, and voice-controlled navigation, alongside Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
UK Launch and Price
The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT arrived in the UK in Spring 2025, with a starting price of around £186,000—making it a serious investment, but one that delivers exceptional performance and exclusivity. It competes with the Tesla Model S Plaid, Lucid Air Sapphire, and upcoming electric supercars from BMW and Mercedes-AMG.
Conclusion
The Taycan Turbo GT is more than just another electric car—it’s a statement. It proves that electric vehicles can be thrilling, precise, luxurious, and fast enough to excite even the most hardcore petrolheads. With its UK launch, Porsche has shown that the future of speed is not just electric—it’s electrifying.
