Porsche Taycan Turbo

The Electric Beast — Ultimate Performance & Innovation

Beyond
Combustion

The Porsche Taycan Turbo is not simply an electric car — it is a statement of intent. A declaration that performance without compromise is possible in the electric age. With 938 HP on demand via overboost, this machine redefines what it means to drive.

Born from over 70 years of motorsport pedigree, the Taycan Turbo inherits Porsche's obsession with precision engineering. Its 800-volt architecture is the most advanced in any production electric vehicle, enabling 270 kW DC fast charging and sustained track performance that defies battery limitations.

The Taycan Turbo does not ask you to sacrifice the visceral thrill of a sports car. The instant torque delivery, the progressive electric whine, the pinpoint suspension geometry — every detail is calibrated to deliver an experience that is uniquely, unmistakably Porsche.

What Makes It
Extraordinary

Six defining technologies that set the Taycan Turbo apart from every other electric vehicle on the planet.

Dual-Motor AWD System

Two permanent magnet synchronous motors — one on each axle — deliver 938 HP in perfect harmony. Torque vectoring between all four wheels ensures surgical precision in every corner, wet or dry, fast or slow.

800V Charging Architecture

The Taycan was the world's first production car to use 800-volt electrical architecture. This enables charging speeds up to 270 kW — adding up to 100 km of range in under five minutes at a high-power DC charger.

2-Speed Rear Transmission

Unlike any other electric sports car, the Taycan Turbo's rear motor features a genuine 2-speed transmission. First gear maximizes torque at launch; second gear allows the motor to operate efficiently at high speed, extending top-end performance.

Advanced Aerodynamics

Every surface of the Taycan Turbo is shaped by wind tunnel data. The active rear spoiler deploys automatically above 90 km/h, generating downforce on demand. A Cd of just 0.22 makes it one of the most slippery sports cars ever built.

Porsche Adaptive Suspension

The electronically controlled air suspension with PDCC (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control) reads the road 100 times per second, individually adjusting each damper to flatten corners and absorb imperfections simultaneously. Track sharp. Road comfortable.

Precision Handling

Rear-axle steering, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, and a near-perfect 48:52 front-to-rear weight distribution combine to make the Taycan Turbo feel impossibly agile for its size. It steers with the intent of a 911, but moves with the force of a hypercar.

A Brand
Reborn Electric

Porsche was never going to build just any electric car. When the company that gave the world the 911, the Carrera GT, and the 918 Spyder turned to electrification, it had to be extraordinary. The Taycan — Porsche's first all-electric production model — is the result of over a decade of research, engineering, and obsessive refinement.

The name "Taycan" comes from a Turkic phrase meaning "soul of a spirited young horse" — a fitting tribute to the Stuttgart crest. It signals that this car is not a departure from Porsche's identity. It IS Porsche's identity, evolving.

The Taycan Turbo variant, sitting at the apex of the lineup below the Turbo S and Turbo GT, has become an icon of its generation. It has lapped the Nurburgring faster than many combustion sports cars. It has broken world records. And it has proven, beyond any doubt, that the future of driving excellence is electric.
