PORSCHE TAYCAN GTS

Electric saloon gains a model that’s usually the enthusiast’s choice. Is it true to type?

TESTER’S NOTE

With up to 313 miles of range, the GTS seems the longest-legged Taycan, but this is misleading, as other models have yet to be rehomologated with the latest software.

TESTED 17.11.21, WILLOW SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, US ON SALE NOW PORSCHE TAYCAN GTS

For seven years, the Macan has been the best-selling Porsche in the UK. No longer. Such has proven the appeal (and benefit-in-kind tax value) of the Taycan that Britain’s most popular Porsche is now powered by electricity alone. The very thought would have had you laughed out of the room as little as three years ago.

And now there’s a GTS model to swell out the range still further – the most sporting if not the fastest in the line-up. It features the usual GTS blacked-out trope on its front apron, side window trims, headlights and so on, while inside it’s all black Race-Tex upholstery and anodised aluminium.
