Performance
With overboost, the Porsche Taycan GTS reaches a maximum power of 515 kW (700 hp / 691 bhp). Without overboost, it provides a strong 445 kW (605 hp / 597 bhp). The maxium torque is at 790 Nm (583 lb-ft). This powerhouse can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 3.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph), showcasing its impressive performance.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 105.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 97.0 kWh, providing a 8.0 kWh buffer (7.6%) for battery protection. Operating at a nominal voltage of 729 volts, it qualifies as an 800-volt battery system. This high voltage is pivotal in enabling the system’s charging capabilities. This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle’s range varies between 628 to 552 km (390-343 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range. The vehicle’s energy consumption is rated at 15.4 kWh/100 km for the base model and 17.6 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 320 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 47 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 16 minutes with an average charging speed of 260 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 1% to 65%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 209 kW, with each charging session taking about 18 minutes and 48 seconds. This exceptionally fast charging capability makes the Porsche Taycan GTS one of the most efficient and convenient EVs for long-distance travel.
In a theoretical 1000 km challenge, starting with a full battery and maintaining a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) under ideal conditions with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take approximately 8 hours and 55 minutes. This journey would require two charging stops from 1% to 65%, with a total charging time of 36 minutes.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. This allows you to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100% in approximately 8 hours and 49 minutes using a home charging setup. For faster charging, you can opt for an optional onboard charger that supports up to 22 kW. With this upgrade, you can achieve a full charge from 0 to 100% in just about 4 hours and 24 minutes at home.
Charge Port
The charge port is conveniently located on the right front side, facilitating easy access at charging stations where you park parallel to the charger. Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications. Additionally, a second port on the left front side offers greater flexibility for AC charging. The connector types vary between different markets. This model uses J1772 for North America and TYPE2 for Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Drivetrain
The Porsche Taycan GTS features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle. The motors used are Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors.
Suspension

The minimum ground clearance is 103 mm, and the maximum is 126 mm.
You can order Porsche Taycan GTS with an alternative Porsche Active Ride suspension. The front suspension is double wishbone, and the rear suspension is Multilink. It uses air suspension and hydraulic dampers. The suspension is fully adaptive on the front and rear axle, so height and damping can be adjusted manually and automatically. The minimum ground clearance is 103 mm, and the maximum is 128 mm.
The Active Suspension maintains the car’s body nearly horizontal during dynamic braking, steering, and acceleration, enhancing precise steering response and driver control..
Normally, cars lean outward in corners. However, the active cornering dynamics can counteract this roll, or even overcompensate, making the car lean into bends like a motorcycle.
The Easy Entry function raises the car’s body automatically when a door is opened, facilitating easier entry and exit. Once the door closes, the body returns to its previous level.
Steering
Dynamic steering is a standard on the Porsche Taycan GTS, varying the steering ratio based on driving speed for enhanced control and comfort. In addition, rear-wheel steering is available as an optional feature. Rear wheel steering reduces the turning circle when going slow.
Brakes
You can choose between different brake systems. The standard option brakes use regular cast-iron discs. The front discs measure 360 mm, while the rear discs are 358 mm. The standard option brakes use a cast-iron disc coated with tungsten carbide. It doesn’t rust and produces hardly any brake dust. The front discs measure 410 mm, while the rear discs are 365 mm. The standard option brakes uses ceramic discs. The front discs measure 420 mm, while the rear discs are 410 mm.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes to enhance efficiency and driving experience. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving. However, it is not considered full one-pedal driving since, at low speeds, the vehicle will keep rolling until it comes to a stop by itself.
If you lift away the foot completely the regen is at one fixed level. This can’t be adjusted.
The maximum regenerative power is 275 kW.
Exterior
The Porsche Taycan GTS, with dimensions of 4963 mm in length, 1966 mm in width, and 1395 mm in height, falls into E-segment cars, also known as executive cars, are larger and more luxurious than their D-segment counterparts.
