Performance
With the optional Performance Battery Plus battery, you get other performance numbers. The Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo (GEN1) delivers impressive performance with a maximum power of 440 kW (598 hp / 590 bhp) when using overboost. Without overboost, it still offers a robust 420 kW (571 hp / 563 bhp). The vehicle generates a maximum torque of 850 Nm (627 lb-ft), enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 93.4 kWh and a net usable capacity of 83.7 kWh, providing a 9.7 kWh buffer (10.4%) for battery protection. Operating at a nominal voltage of 725 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 504 to 439 km (313-273 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 16.6 kWh/100 km for the base model and 19.1 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 270 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 51 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 18 minutes with an average charging speed of 191 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 3% to 64%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 162 kW, with each charging session taking about 19 minutes and 52 seconds. This efficient charging capability makes the Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo (GEN1) a convenient option for long-distance travel.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 11 minutes, requiring three charging stops from 3% to 58%, totaling 51 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full charge from 0 to 100% in about 7 hours and 36 minutes using a home setup. An optional 22 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 3 hours and 48 minutes.
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.
