2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Safety Car

At the beginning of March, Porsche presented the Taycan Turbo GT, which will be the new Safety Car for the rest of the Formula E season. It is the most powerful production car of the Stuttgart company, but also more powerful than racing cars.

Porsche Taycan Turbo GT is powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, with a total power of 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, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 6.6 seconds with a top speed of 306 km/h (190 mph).

The car will make its debut at the race in Brlin on May 12, 2024, and two examples will be presented. One car will be finished in Purple Sky Metallic and will be equipped with the Weissach package, while the other car will be finished in a shade of green. Both will be equipped with safety lights, flashing lights, fire extinguishers, as well as special communication equipment.

As a reminder, the road-legal 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 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.

2025 Porsche Cayenne GTS

In 2023, Porsche revealed the facelift versions of the Cayenne S and Cayenne S E-Hybrid models, and now the offer has been expanded with the new GTS version.

The car in the photos is finished in red with black door sills and wheel arch bumpers. It is equipped with an adaptive suspension that provides stability and exceptional driving comfort, a dark bronze sports exhaust system tailpipes, bigger cooling air intakes, dark-tinted headlights and tail lights, red brake callipers, and High-Gloss Black side skirts, front inlays , side window trims and wheel arch extensions. The chassis technology is taken from the Cayenne Turbo GT model and all components and control systems, such as Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and the optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), are specifically designed for optimal on-road performance. A carbon rear diffuser and an exhaust system with centrally located tailpipes are part of an optional package that reduces the car’s weight by an additional 25 kilograms. It is mounted on 21-inch RS Spyder-design wheels finished in anthracite gray.

The cabin is lined with dark leather and Alcantara, while suede-like fabric covers the roof lining, armrests and door panels, as well as the center panels of the eight-way-adjustable sports seats. Additional equipment includes a fixed panoramic roof, Porsche Driver Experience with a curved digital instrument cluster, Bose surround sound system, ambient lighting, and a heated GT sports steering wheel. For a more customized look, two GTS-specific interior packages in Carmine Red or Slate Gray Neo are available.

The Cayenne GTS is powered by a 4-liter biturbo V8 engine with 500 hp (368 kW) and 487 lb-ft (660 Nm) of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all wheels. The power has been increased by an additional 40 hp and 40 Nm of torque compared to the previous GTS version, which is enough to push the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds with a top speed of 275 km/h (171 mph).

Porsche sales results in Q1 2024

Even in times of global economic uncertainty, Porsche remains desirable and exclusive. In 2023, the sports brand delivered 320,221 cars, which was 3 percent more compared to the same period in 2022. However, Porsche sales in Q1 2024 did not continue on that path. In the first three months of this year, Porsche delivered 77,640 vehicles, which is 4 percent less than in Q1 2023.

This year is the year of electrification when Porsche launches several fully electric and hybrid models such as the Macan, Panamera, Taycan and 911. When it comes to models, positive sales results were recorded by the Porsche Cayenne with 28,025 units (+20 percent) , the 911 with 12,892 cars sold (+17%), and the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman models with 5,772 deliveries (+20%). Other models recorded a drop in sales compared to the same period in 2023. The Panamera was delivered in 6,139 units (-28 percent), while the Taycan achieved a huge drop compared to Q1 last year (-54 %) with 4,236 cars delivered. The Porsche Macan also recorded a 14% drop in sales (20,576 cars). However, the recently introduced all-electric Macan is announcing better results as a large number of orders have been received.

“Despite the ramp-up of the new launches, delays in delivery due to regulatory requirements in North America and the still challenging market situation in China, we were able to maintain deliveries at a stable level,” says Detlev von Platen, Member of the Executive Board for Sales and Marketing at Porsche AG.

When it comes to individual markets, Porsche had the best results in Germany where it delivered 11,274 cars (+37%), while in the rest of Europe it delivered 20,044 cars (+9%). Other markets recorded a decline in sales, which can be attributed to the currently tense economic situation in the Chinese market. In China, Porsche sold only 16,340 vehicles (-24%), while in North America it delivered 15,087 vehicles, which is 23% less compared to Q1 2023. In the rest of the world, 14,895 cars were sold (+14).
