Take a beat to think about how long it takes the websites you visit to load. Your favorite social media sites take about 3.5 seconds. In the amount of time it takes your "socials" to load, the quickest car we've ever tested in our 76-year history is already doing north of 90 mph. From a standstill. Impressive doesn't even begin to describe the sensational 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Weissach, Motor Trend's new undisputed 0-60-mph champ.

The Taycan Turbo GT Weissach hits 60 mph in just 1.89 seconds. That's 0.05 second quicker than the second-quickest car we've ever tested, a slightly heavier non-Weissach Taycan Turbo GT, and 0.18 second quicker than our previous 0-60 champ, a Tesla Model S Plaid, which hit the mark in only 2.07 seconds. Our top five of all time—regardless of powertrain type—is completed by the hyper-exotic Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano (2.10 seconds) and the other big, bad electric performance sedan on the block, the Lucid Air Sapphire at 2.16 seconds.

In the quarter mile, the Turbo GT Weissach hangs on to post the second-quickest time we've ever recorded in any type of car, blowing through the lights in 9.23 seconds at 150.1 mph, just a tick ahead of the non-Weissach model (9.34 seconds at 148.7 mph) and a hair behind the more powerful Air Sapphire, our quarter-mile record holder with its blistering 9.21 seconds at 157.1 mph.

The Taycan Turbo GT Weissach is capable of far more than ridiculous speeds in a straight line. Its lap time on our figure-eight course is just 21.86 seconds at 1.03 g average—the fourth best in the history of our signature handling test. That puts this four-door EV in the company of high-performance mid-engine supercars; the Weissach trailed a C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Z07 by a hundredth of a second while averaging more g, and it comes in behind the Ferrari 296 GTB and McLaren 765 LT only by a rounding protocol. It's that close.
