2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT – the most powerful production Porsche ever

A few days ago, Porsche revealed its most powerful production car ever, the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. It is a track-oriented fully electric car with improved aerodynamics and 1,108 hp.

The Taycan Turbo GT embodies its track-oriented character with a redesigned body kit. It is equipped with the Weissach package, which contributes to weight reduction by eliminating the rear seats, an adaptive rear spoiler with Gurney wing and an in-built splitter with integrated “air wings”, a new rear diffuser, combined with air-directing elements in the chassis, creating 220 kg of downforce. It’s mounted on a set of new 21-inch lightweight forged wheels.

The B-pillars have a carbon finish, which matches the door sills and door mirror housings. The new Taycan Turbo GT is offered in six colors including the new Pale Blue Metallic and Sky Purple Metallic. Customers have the option to further customize the car with decals through the optional paint-to-sample program, offered by the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur department.

The dark cabin is equipped with adaptive sports seats with Race-Tex and black leather upholstery and a GT Sport steering wheel. The Turbo GT logo adorns the headrests and center console. Volt blue or GT silver contrasting tones, as well as different shades of stitching, are also available as an option. The Weissach package includes an analog clock, floor mats and luggage compartment mats, as well as insulating material. Porsche even opted for a single charging port on the passenger side, as well as lighter materials in the trunk.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT is powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, totaling 789 hp (580 kW) and 988 lb-ft (1,340 Nm) of torque. Thanks to Launch Control, the power increases to 1,033 hp (760 kW) or to 1,108 hp (815 kW) for two seconds. That’s quite enough to propel the car from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.2 seconds (2.1 with the optional Weissach package), 200 km/h (124 mph) in 6.6 seconds (6.4 Weissach package) with a top speed of 306 km/h (190 mph).

2025 Lotus Emeya starts at 106,400 euros

In September 2023, Lotus premiered its first all-electric coupe limousine, the Lotus Emeya, with a few photos, without revealing many details about the car. Delivery starts in Q3, and now we know how much it will cost.

Lotus Emeya is powered by two electric motors with a total output of 905 hp (666 kW) and 726 lb-ft (985 Nm) of torque. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.78 seconds with a top speed of 256 km/h (159 mph). It is equipped with a 102 kWh battery which, thanks to a 350kW DC fast charger, enables a range of 150 kilometers in 5 minutes of charging. The battery will be charged to 80 percent in just 18 minutes.

Buyers will be able to choose from six body colors: Boreal Grey, Fireglow Orange, Solar Yellow, Akoya White, Stellar Black and Kaimu Grey. The car in the photos is finished in Solar Yellow with contrasting black A-pillars that “blend” with the black roof. At the back are a thin light bar that extends along the entire length, and an active rear wing that increases downforce and improves handling at high speeds.

Inside, the driver-focused cockpit is equipped with carbon fiber seats trimmed in white luxury sustainable upcycled fabric, which combined with black fabric covers parts of the dashboard and door panels. In front of the driver are the steering wheel with the lower flat part, as well as the centrally located display.

When it comes to price, Emeya will be offered in three versions: Emeya, Emeya S and Emeya R. The price of the entry model starts at 106,400 euros, the Emeya S starts at 126,950 euros, and the Emeya R starts at 150,990 euros.
