'Purple Sky Metallic' will be exclusive to the Taycan Turbo GT for one year.
Porsche says its new Taycan Turbo GT – and lighter, track-focused Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package – is the most powerful series-production model it has ever produced.
Pumping out no less than 815kW/1340Nm, the first Taycan Turbo GT models are expected to arrive in Australia from mid-2024, with a starting price of $416,600, before on-road costs.
To help build the new car’s profile, Porsche development driver Lars Kern recently recorded the fastest lap for a road-approved electric car at the famous Laguna Seca circuit in California (1:27.87 min), having already set a new class record on the Nürburgring (7:07.55 min) in a pre-production version of the car, making the Turbo GT the fastest four-door of any powertrain type on the Nordschleife.

The car’s tweaked powertrain includes “a more powerful and efficient” pulse inverter (900-ampere up from 600 in the Turbo S), upgraded power electronics and a new rear-axle motor.
The transmission ratio has been fine-turned and the “robustness” of the gearbox improved to cope with the mega torque output.
It also features ‘Attack Mode’ which delivers up to 120kW of additional power for 10 seconds. Claimed 0-100km/h time is 2.3 seconds for the Taycan Turbo GT and 2.2sec with the lightened, carbon-rich, two-seat only Weissach package.
This makes the model one- to two-tenths of a second faster than the already obscenely rapid Taycan Turbo S.
