Porsche Taycan GTS

11 new Taycan models available

Porsche will be significantly updating its fully electric saloon, the Taycan, in early 2024, with a sharper design, stronger maximum output, improved range, and superior charging performance. The Taycan GTS and Taycan 4 have been added to the updated Taycan, completing the family of 11 versions. The new Taycan GTS is the sportiest model excluding the turbo model, delivering a maximum output of 515 kW (700 PS) when launch control is used.

In addition, new exterior colors have been added to all Taycan models. “Slate Gray Neo” and “Pale Blue Metallic” have been added to the Legend category, and “Purple Sky Metallic” has been added to the Dream category. Customers can now enjoy more freedom in choosing their exterior color. Kevin Gieck, Vice President of the Taycan Model Line, explains the latest model expansion as follows:

“With the very wide Taycan range, Porsche is able to meet a wide range of customer aspirations and mobility needs. These two models demonstrate the breadth of the Taycan. The original Taycan GTS was positioned between the Taycan 4S and the Taycan Turbo as a sporty alternative. This remains the case with the new model. The Taycan 4 also combines the efficiency of an entry-level model with the excellent handling of all-wheel drive.”

Significant performance improvement from the previous “GTS”

A driving scene of the Porsche Taycan GTS, which has just been introduced in Japan. — The new Taycan GTS boasts a maximum output of 700 PS when using launch control. Not only has performance improved, but the range has also been increased to 628 km.

The three letters “GTS” have held a special meaning for Porsche fans since the Porsche 904 Carrera GTS was introduced in 1963. Now, the long-awaited “GTS” version bearing the legendary alphabet has been released for the updated Taycan.

The all-rounder character of the Taycan GTS is that when using launch control, it can deliver a maximum boost power of 515 kW (700 PS), 75 kW more than its predecessor. The standard Sport Chrono Package also includes a Push-to-Pass function that can apply a boost of up to 70 kW for 10 seconds at the touch of a button.

The Taycan GTS’s Push-to-Pass function increases torque to launch control levels even at low speeds. As with the Taycan Turbo GT, boost is displayed on a countdown timer in the instrument cluster and dynamically animated rings in the speedometer.

The Taycan GTS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds, 0.4 seconds faster than its predecessor. It accelerates from 0 to 200 km/h in just 10.4 seconds, 1.6 seconds faster than the previous model. The range has also increased by more than 120 km, reaching a maximum of 628 km (WLTP cycle).

The exterior features black and anthracite gray details exclusive to the GTS. New front and rear aprons with high-gloss black inlays have been adopted. The exterior mirror base has also been changed to high-gloss black. The standard “20-inch Taycan Turbo S Aero Design Wheels” and the optional “21-inch RS Sport Design Wheels” are both painted in anthracite gray exclusive to the GTS.

Dedicated “Taycan GTS” logo placed

The interior of the Porsche Taycan GTS, which has just been introduced in Japan. — The sporty interior of the Taycan GTS is made with the same materials as the Taycan Turbo GT, and each part features a special Taycan GTS logo.

The interior is made up of the same materials as the Taycan Turbo GT. It comes standard with a sporty Race-Tex scope extension and black smooth leather trim. Also included as standard are adaptive sports seats plus (18-way electrically adjustable), a GT multifunction sports steering wheel with a mode switch and steering wheel heater, and the Sport Chrono Package, which includes a push-to-pass function and a circuit mode.

The GT multifunction sports steering wheel features a push-to-pass function and a mode switch and paddles for energy recuperation. A black Race-Tex finish is available as a no-cost option. The optional GTS interior package adds Slate Grey Neo to Carmine Red. The instrument cluster, power meter, and start graphic all feature exclusive Taycan GTS logos.

The adaptive air suspension, including Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), is standard in combination with Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus). The Porsche Active Ride Suspension Control system, specifically tuned for the GTS, is also available as an option.

To express the exhilarating character of the GTS, the car now features a distinctive soundscape similar to that of the Taycan Turbo S. This soundscape is said to set the GTS apart from other Taycan models.

Highly efficient 4WD entry model

The exterior of the Porsche Taycan 4, which has just been introduced in Japan. — Following the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, the Taycan 4, an entry-level 4WD model with excellent efficiency, has been added to the sports sedan lineup.

Following the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, the entry-level sports sedan Taycan 4 has been released, combining high efficiency with 4WD. By choosing the optional Performance Battery Plus instead of the standard Performance Battery, maximum output when using launch control increases from 300 kW (407 PS) to 320 kW (435 PS).

The driving range also varies depending on the battery type, with a maximum of 559 km when using the Performance Battery and a maximum of 643 km when using the Performance Battery Plus. This is the longest driving range of any four-wheel drive (4WD) model. Equipped with one electric motor on each front and rear axle, it ensures higher driving stability and traction performance than the rear-wheel drive (RWD) Taycan. The Taycan 4 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, 0.2 seconds faster than the RWD model, despite its 80 kg heavier weight.

The exterior is fully equipped with standard features such as 19-inch Taycan aero wheels, black brake calipers, and LED matrix headlights. Furthermore, adaptive air suspension with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is also standard equipment.

The interior is also lavishly equipped with standard features such as “Front Comfort Seats (with 8-way electric adjustment),” “Black Partial Leather Trim,” “Dark Silver Accent Package,” “Leather Multifunction Sports Steering Wheel,” “Silver Brushed Aluminum Door Entry Guards,” and “Sound Package Plus.”
