Porsche Uncover the 2024 Epitome of Speed with an Astonishing 1,000-Horsepower 'Launch Control' Road Car
Porsche today introduced the most powerful production, or mass-produced, car it has ever made.
The electric 1,093-horsepower Taycan Turbo GT, coming to market this summer, has already set two racetrack speed records for an electric car. It even beat one set by a Tesla Model S by a gigantic 18 seconds.
High horsepower numbers and eye-popping acceleration are more common among electric cars than gasoline-powered ones, especially since EVs can have multiple motors.
This Taycan Turbo GT is a new version of the electric Porsche Taycan, features two motors. Together they can produce more than 1,000 horsepower.
This kind of high-horsepower EV experience won’t come cheaply, though. The Porsche will cost around $230,000.
These kinds of power levels can’t be maintained for long, a Porsche spokesperson said, because the necessary cooling for the motors and batteries, plus just the actual power output itself, would drain the batteries too quickly.
The Taycan Turbo GT will come in two versions. One, the standard Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, will be fast but reasonably comfortable for street driving.
It will have four seats, as most Porsche Taycan models do.
The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package, though, will dispense with backseats and other comfort items to save weight.
Even things like the standard clock in the dashboard are left off. This more aggressive, track-oriented version of the car won’t cost any more, though, thanks to the money saved on things like seats and a clock.
Despite the Turbo in the title, neither of these cars has actual turbochargers, of course, since electric cars don’t use turbochargers which push air into internal combustion engines. In this car, the name just denotes that they are powerful — and fast.
