Current Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo – Ultimate Guide
The 2025 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo returns as Porsche’s well-balanced answer to drivers who want performance, practicality, and electric range wrapped in a more versatile body style. With updates to power delivery, chassis dynamics, and interior tech, the new GTS wagon sharpens the Taycan’s character into something distinctly Porsche.
Like the GTS sedan, the Sport Turismo version benefits from the broader Taycan refresh that rolled out in early 2024. That means it’s lighter, quicker, and more efficient across the board. It also charges faster, thanks to revised thermal management and powertrain enhancements that now allow up to 320 kW charging at 800-volt stations. The improvements are the result of a new rear motor that delivers up to 107 more horsepower than before, a modified pulse inverter with optimized software, and a tweaked energy recuperation strategy. All of it adds up to a Taycan that can pull harder, recover more energy while braking, and spend less time plugged in.
Output peaks at 690 horsepower when Launch Control is active (up 100 horses from the outgoing GTS). There’s also a new push-to-pass function in the standard Sport Chrono package, which temporarily adds up to 93 horsepower for 10 seconds with the press of a paddle or button. Like on the Turbo GT, this boost is displayed visually on the digital cluster with a countdown and animated rings. It may be a software-driven surge, but the effect is real, especially at low speeds, where torque response mimics Launch Control and helps the Taycan snap out of corners.
In terms of acceleration, the Sport Turismo gets the job done in 3.3 seconds to 100 km/h (62 mph). That’s four-tenths faster than before. And if you stay on it, 200 km/h (124 mph) comes up in just 10.4 seconds, shaving a full 1.6 seconds from its predecessor’s time. The way the car delivers speed is immediate but composed, the kind of rush that’s thrilling without feeling overwhelming.
Where the GTS really carves out its place is in its driving feel. The adaptive air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is standard and tuned for GTS-specific dynamics. Torque vectoring (PTV Plus) helps the Sport Turismo stay planted and responsive, and optional rear-axle steering tightens things up further. You can also upgrade to Porsche Active Ride, a system that actively adjusts damping to manage cornering forces and body roll. On a backroad or mountain pass, the combination feels confident, grippy, and agile in a way that’s rare for a vehicle with this much cargo room.
Visually, the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo embraces the darker design cues that define Porsche’s GTS family. Black or Anthracite Grey trim pieces are used throughout, including on the side mirror bases, window surrounds, and lower fascias. Both standard 20-inch Aero Design wheels and optional 21-inch RS Spyder wheels come painted in Anthracite Grey, giving the wagon a low-slung, purposeful look. GTS-exclusive touches include a Sport Design front bumper and matching rear apron with gloss black inlays.
The new color options are worth noting too. Pale Blue Metallic and Slate Grey Neo are now available across the Taycan lineup, while Purple Sky Metallic joins the more expressive “Dreams” color category. These tones help emphasize the GTS’s subtle muscularity, particularly in Sport Turismo form, where the long roofline blends smoothly into the wide rear haunches.
Inside, the GTS carries over much of what makes the Turbo GT’s cabin so appealing. Race-Tex upholstery is standard across the dash, seats, and headliner, paired with smooth black leather for contrast. Adaptive Sports Seats Plus offer 18-way adjustment and come standard, as does the GT multifunction sports steering wheel with heating and drive mode switches. If you want an even sportier look, Porsche offers the steering wheel in black Race-Tex as an option.
A few functional details round things out: the Sport Chrono package is included, along with the push-to-pass paddles and track mode display. The instrument cluster gets unique GTS branding across the startup graphics, power meter, and headrest stitching. A BOSE Surround Sound System is also standard, but like in most Taycans, you can opt out if you’re chasing extra weight savings.
As far as daily usability goes, the Sport Turismo continues to be the most versatile Taycan configuration. The extended roofline and rear hatch give it better cargo space and easier access than the sedan, and rear headroom is slightly improved as well. Unlike the Cross Turismo, which skews more rugged with plastic cladding and higher ride height, the GTS Sport Turismo stays low and focused, making it the sportiest version of the wagon format.
That duality is what makes this GTS model stand out. It’s quick enough to hold its own at a track day, yet composed enough to run errands or take on long highway trips without fatigue. The updated battery and charging systems also make road trips more feasible, cutting down stops and keeping downtime short at high-speed chargers.

Press Release
Porsche rounds off the second Taycan generation
With a sharper design, more power and even better charging performance, Porsche extensively modernised the Taycan at the beginning of 2024. Now, two new versions complete the family: The new edition of the Taycan GTS builds on the model-spanning success story that is the Gran Turismo Sport at Porsche. With up to 515 kW1 of peak power with Launch Control, this version is once again the sportiest offering among the Taycan variants. The new Taycan GTS is available as a sports sedan. In addition, the entry-level sports sedan is also available with all-wheel drive for the first time.
The range of Taycan models has never been wider: with two body variants, all-wheel and rear-wheel drive and various power levels of the Porsche E Performance motors ranging from 300 to 760 kW, there are now 11 versions all told.
The Taycan 4 sports sedan (available from $184,500* and the new edition of the Taycan GTS have just been added. The price of the Taycan GTS starts at $260,300*. The two new options complete the Taycan portfolio and can now be ordered, with availability at dealerships set to start in the first half of 2025. New optional exterior colours are also available for all Taycan models. In the Legends category, Slate Grey Neo and Pale Blue Metallic complete the range, while Purple Sky Metallic has been added to the Dreams category.
“With the extremely wide-ranging Taycan line-up, we meet a wide range of customer wishes and mobility needs. Our two latest innovations exemplify this exceptional breadth,” says Kevin Giek, Vice President Model Line. “Even the first generation of the Taycan GTS was already the sporty standard-bearer of the model line, positioned be tween the Taycan 4S and Taycan Turbo. And the new edition is no exception. At the other end of the range, the Taycan 4 sports sedan combines the high efficiency of the entry-level model with the superior handling of all-wheel drive.”
The new models naturally have many enhancements in terms of design, technology and equipment with which Porsche updated the Taycan at the beginning of the year. The electric sports car surpasses its predecessor in almost every discipline. The new models have more power, accelerate faster and charge in less time with greater sta bility. All Taycan versions feature an even more extensive standard equipment list and come with the latest generation of the Porsche Driver Experience.
The simultaneous improvement of performance and efficiency is down to a number of factors: an advanced powertrain with a new rear-axle motor with up to 80 kW more power than its predecessor on all models, a modified pulse inverter with optimised software, more powerful batteries, revised thermal management, a next-generation heat pump and a modified recuperation and all-wheel-drive strategy. At 800-volt DC charging stations, for example, it can be charged at up to 320 kW. The maximum recuperation capacity during deceleration from high speeds has increased to up to 400 kW.
New edition of the Taycan GTS: sporty all-rounder
GTS stands for Gran Turismo Sport. Since the Porsche 904 Carrera GTS of 1963, these three letters have enjoyed a special reputation among Porsche fans. Now, there is also a variant in the Taycan model range with this legendary combination of letters.
As a sporty all-rounder, the Taycan GTS impresses with up to 515 kW of overboost power when using Launch Control – 75 kW more than its predecessor. With the new push-to-pass function2 in the standard Sport Chrono package, a boost of up to 70 kW can be called upon for 10 seconds at the touch of a button. In the Taycan GTS, push to-pass also has a particularly sporty character, because at low speeds the torque is raised to Launch Control levels. As in the Taycan Turbo GT, the boost is indicated by a countdown timer in the instrument cluster and dynamically staged with animated rings on the speedometer.
The Taycan GTS sports sedan hits 100 km/h from a standstill in just 3.3 seconds when tested in a controlled environment on-track – 0.4 seconds faster than its predecessor. The sports sedan takes just 10.4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 200 km/h when tested – 1.6 seconds less than before.
To do justice to the exhilarating character of a GTS, it was given a more distinctive sound profile, analogous to the Taycan Turbo S. This sound feature sets it apart from other Taycan models.
The exterior and interior are equally distinctive. The numerous Black or Anthracite Grey details on the exterior are typical of a GTS. New to the Taycan GTS compared to its predecessor are the Sport design front and rear aprons with inlays painted in Black (high-gloss). Black (high-gloss) is also used on the bases of the exterior mirrors. Both the standard Taycan Turbo S Aero Design wheels in the 20-inch format and the optional RS Spyder Design wheels in the 21-inch format, on the other hand, are painted exclusively in Anthracite Grey on the GTS.
Many of the materials in the interior have been adopted from the Taycan Turbo GT models. For example, the Taycan GTS models come standard with extended scopes in sporty Race-Tex and elements in smooth black leather. Also included are the Adaptive Sports Seats Plus (with electric 18-way adjustment), the GT multifunction sports steering wheel with mode switch and steering wheel heating as well as the Sport Chrono package, including the push-to-pass function and track mode. The GT multifunction sports steering wheel, familiar from the Taycan Turbo GT models, is available in black Race-Tex on request. It includes two mode switches and paddles for the push to-pass function and for energy recuperation. In addition to Carmine Red, the optional GTS interior package is now also available in Slate Grey Neo. A Taycan GTS logo is featured in the instrument cluster, power meter and start graphic. The BOSE® Surround Sound System is standard.
The GTS-specific chassis and optional rear-axle steering lend a particularly sporty edge. The adaptive air suspension including Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is combined with Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) as standard. The Porsche Active Ride suspension control system with GTS-specific tuning is available as an option. In dynamic driving situations, it ensures an almost perfect connection to the road thanks to an optimal, individual distribution of wheel loads for each wheel. In addition, Porsche Active Ride offers increased driving comfort in everyday driving situations.
New Taycan 4: added traction and performance on the popular base model
Customers who wanted to combine the high efficiency of the entry-level Taycan with all-wheel drive have already found what they were looking for in the Cross Turismo. Now Porsche also offers such a variant as a sports sedan. In terms of performance, this new Taycan 4 corresponds to the Taycan: depending on whether the standard Performance battery or the optional Performance Battery Plus is fitted in the under body, the result is an overboost output of up to 300 kW or 320 kW when using Launch Control.
With one electric motor each on the front and rear axles, the Taycan 4 offers greater driving stability and more traction than the rear-wheel-drive Taycan. This is reflected in the acceleration values: the Taycan 4 takes exactly 4.6 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h when acceleration is tested on-track. Despite the extra 80 kilograms, it is two tenths of a second faster than its rear-wheel drive model sibling.
Over the course of the model cycle, Porsche has already improved the all-wheel drive strategy. Of course, the new Taycan 4 also benefits from these optimisations in favour of greater efficiency. This means that the front electric motor is electrically decoupled whenever traction, driving dynamics and driving stability allow it. It then switches back on within milliseconds when needed, for example when accelerating or recuperating.
Externally, the extensive standard equipment includes 19-inch Taycan aero wheels and black brake callipers as well as matrix LED headlights. In addition, Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and Adaptive Air Suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) are fitted as standard.
Black partial leather trim, the Dark Silver accent package, the leather multifunction sports steering wheel and the brushed silver aluminium door entry guards are standard in the interior. The partial leather interior is also available in Slate Grey as well as in a two-tone version in Black/Chalk Beige.
