Auto123 gets in a first drive of the 2025 Porsche Taycan, a sports car and EV at home among the sportiest exotic cars on the market.
Seville, Spain - First presented in 2019, the Taycan EV gets a first big makeover for 2025. Porsche has retained the same platform but revised all the car's parameters, from power to range to handling. The power of the Turbo GT in particular is surreal.
Porsche has gone to great lengths to make this sedan a true sports car in every sense of the word. The battery capacity jumps from 93 to 105 kWh, with the exception of the base Taycan 4S, which offers an 89-kWh battery with a single electric motor.In the cabin, elegance is taken up a notch. The design is both simpler in presentation and more technological in execution, following the example of other recent models from the brand.
Other enhancements to the infotainment system include improved route-planning options based on the battery's state of charge. When it comes to numbers, well, here’s a bunch of them. Let's start with the entry-level 4S version, which produces a maximum output of 536 hp and 512 lb-ft of torque with the 89-kWh Performance battery.
Increased acceleration rates are generally the result of higher system output. For example, the Taycan Turbo S delivers 188 more hp than before with Launch Control. This brings the top model's system output to 938 hp and 818 lb-ft of torque. The same system on the Turbo GT goes by the evocative name of Attack mode.

If the appropriate mode is activated, the suspension can compensate for pitch and roll movements to reduce acceleration forces acting on the occupants.
