QUICKEST EVERBones crush, hearts break, but the rapid acceleration of the 2025 Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach package is nothing short of brain-melting. It’s one of two cars we’ve ever tested to reach 60 mph in under 2.0 seconds. The other speed demon was the heavier Taycan Turbo GT four-seater (tested last year). To lose weight, Porsche nixed the Taycan Turbo GT’s rear seats, driver’s-side charge port, rear speakers, and floor mats. Unlike on the sports cars, this treatment has been used previously (911 GT2 and GT3 RS, the Cayman GT4 RS, and 918 Spyder), the Taycan Turbo GT’s Weissach package is a no-cost option. While both versions hit 1.9 seconds to 60 mph, the Weissach’s weight savings helped it on the 300-foot skidpad, where it achieved 1.11 g. Its acceleration to 60 mph, 9.2-second quarter-mile time, and grip all outperform the last Tesla Model S Plaid and Lucid Air Sapphire we’ve tested. The big story here isn’t that the Taycan Turbo GT is quicker than its closest rivals; it’s quicker than everything we’ve tested. Ever.
