Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Review: A Throwback That Refuses to Apologise
We spend a week with the 1019 hp Porsche Taycan Turbo GT to see whether the experience lives up to the numbers.

| Top speed | 180 mph |
| Layout | AWD |
The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT arrives with a clear sense of who it is for, and makes no apology for it. In a market drifting toward sameness, a car with this much conviction is worth taking seriously.
Performance
Power stands at 1019 hp, enough for a 2.2s dash to 60 mph and a 180 mph top speed. What stays with you is not the violence of the acceleration but the precision with which it is delivered.
On the road
Where many quick cars feel inert, the Taycan Turbo GT stays communicative. The AWD setup keeps the chassis honest, so you always know how much grip is left in reserve — confidence that pays dividends on a demanding road.
The best fast cars do not just go quickly — they make you want to go quickly again.
Living with it
Living with the Taycan Turbo GT reveals a practical streak. It is comfortable enough for a long haul, the interior feels worth the money, and visibility and ergonomics have clearly been considered rather than ignored.
The verdict
The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT is not flawless, but its flaws are the honest kind that come with focus. For the driver it was built for, it delivers exactly what it promises, and that is rarer than it should be.
