Porsche Canada says its lineup of revised Taycans is now complete thanks to an upgraded GTS. Like the similar designation in its gas-fed lineup, “Gran Turismo Sport” represents Porsche’s combination of mid-range power — assuming, of course, that 690 hp can ever really be deemed “mid-range” — but top-of-the-line handling. Indeed, Porsche says the new GTS surpasses its predecessor “in almost every discipline,” boasting more power and accelerating faster while simultaneously charging in less time.
That extra power is no illusion, the 2025 GTS’s twin electric motors, according to Porsche, pumping out 107 more horses than its predecessor, bringing its “overboost” limit to that aforementioned 690 hp. Opt for the Sport Chrono package and you can get 93 more horsepower at the touch of a push-to-pass button. It only lasts 10 seconds, but a) by that time, you’re probably in the next county; and b) there’s a timer in the gauge cluster that is “dynamically staged” via coloured rings around the speedometer.
That all adds up to a 3.3-second sprint to 100 kilometres an hour that is 0.4 seconds quicker than its predecessor; and a 10.4-second time to 200 klicks, an astounding 1.6 ticks of the clock quicker than before. Porsche also says that same speediness and power applies to its charging system, the 800-volt system now able to take up to 320 kilowatts during DC fast-charging thanks to better thermal management.
Meanwhile, the chassis benefits from rear-axle steering, though that remains an extra-cost option, along with Porsche’s Active Ride adjustable suspension. Adaptive air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), however, are standard. In dynamic driving situations, the entire package ensures what Porsche claims is “an almost perfect connection to the road” while the adjustable dampers offer an improved ride in everyday driving.
Like so many GTSes past, the new car features aesthetics from the Turbo trim. The wheels — both the standard 20-inch Aero Design and the optional RS Spyder Design 21-inchers — are lifted from the Taycan Turbo S. Much of the interior, meanwhile — such as the 18-way adjustable Adaptive Sports Seats Plus, the multi-function sports steering wheel, and the Sport Chrono package — is liberated from the Taycan Turbo GT.
The Taycan GTS will arrive in Canada in the spring of 2025 and will be available as both sedan ($167,200) and Sport Turismo ($169,500) models.
