Kevin Giek, Head of the Taycan model line, emphasizes the groundbreaking nature of the original Taycan and the continued innovation embodied in the 2025 update. “We ushered in the new era of e-mobility with the Taycan at the end of 2019. It immediately proved to be a game changer and innovative pioneer in the e-vehicle segment,” Giek stated. “We are now continuing this success story with the extensively updated Taycan. The model line has reached new heights in terms of performance, with exceptional driving dynamics and driving pleasure. At the same time, we were able to improve efficiency, range, day-to-day usability and comfort.”
Unleashing Even Greater Performance in the 2025 Taycan
The 2025 Porsche Taycan lineup boasts significantly enhanced acceleration across all models, outperforming their predecessors in terms of speed and responsiveness. To illustrate this leap in performance, consider these compelling examples: the rear-wheel-drive Taycan sedan now accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 4.5 seconds, a remarkable 0.6-second improvement. At the top end of the spectrum, the new Taycan Turbo S sedan redefines Porsche performance, achieving 0 to 60 mph in an astonishing 2.3 seconds. This makes it not only 0.3 seconds faster than the previous model but also the quickest production Porsche ever created, a testament to the brand’s relentless pursuit of performance innovation.
Further amplifying the dynamic driving experience, the 2025 Taycan introduces a new push-to-pass function available with the Sport Chrono package. This feature allows drivers to unleash an instant burst of power – up to 70 kW depending on the specific model – for 10 seconds at the touch of a button. This surge in acceleration is fundamentally driven by the increased system output across the Taycan range. The base Taycan, for instance, now delivers an impressive 60 kW more power than its earlier iteration. For the flagship Taycan Turbo S, engaging Launch Control unlocks an astounding additional 140 kW, pushing the total system output to a staggering 700 kW (938 hp). This power figure firmly establishes the 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo S as the most powerful production vehicle Porsche has ever brought to market.
Faster Charging and Extended Range for the 2025 Taycan
