If spending hours, not minutes, on the track is the priority, the 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and Weissach version will one-up any other EV.

If you live for the novelty of one-off drag races, there are a great many EVs claiming acceleration numbers close to the 2.2 seconds claimed by the 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT.

That makes the entire lineup of Taycan versions, like the base car in the pictures above—covered more extensively and on the road with aat Green Car Reports—more likely to “catch the curve” for the quickest charge possible. That means a 10-80% charge time in as little as 18 minutes, with a higher peak power of 320 kw from a CCS connector.According to Porsche, improvements made to the Taycan’s thermal systems make it not only better in cold weather and charging times but also out on the track.

The Turbo GT and Weissach Package models will indeed take advantage of that added cooling. They both produce 777 hp and 855 lb-ft of torque, with a lower ratio for a more robust version of the two-speed dog-ring gearbox that saves its low gear for launches and all-out performance driving.

While the Push-to-Pass feature in other Taycan models adds up to 94 hp for 10 seconds, Attack Mode adds up to 161 hp for 10 seconds at a time, and it flips to a simplified gauge display, customized sound, and performance driving mode. While the Push-to-Pass feature needs 10 seconds before it can be re-upped, Attack Mode can be used again after just a 4.0-second pause as battery temperature permits.

Essentially replicating that Nürburgring car, the Weissach gets optimized aerodynamics, with a new front diffuser and fixed rear wing, to altogether help provide better stability and more downforce—up to 303 pounds, with 484 pounds of total additional downforce from overall aero at 190 mph.The Weissach feels born to just live at the track and be tucked away in the paddocks in between hot lap time—or with a fleet manager.
