2024 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach package Review

In recent years, supercar-level models have been increasingly prevalent in the electric vehicle market, but options that truly balance extreme performance with daily practicality remain scarce. The 2024 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Weissach package, as the performance flagship of the brand, not only pushes the electric motor output to a supercar-level 1034PS but also retains a four-door body structure—this is what makes it so eye-catching. This time, we've got the real car in hand, and the main purpose is to verify whether it can maintain Porsche's consistent driving quality under extreme performance while also assessing whether the lightweight design and chassis optimization brought by the Weissach package have improved the actual performance.

From its appearance, this car is significantly different from the standard Taycan. Although the front retains the family-style closed grille, it has a carbon fiber material added to the lower front lip, and the air intakes on both sides are blackened, giving it a more aggressive look. The side profile displays sleek lines, with a waistline extending from the headlights to the taillights. Combined with the 21-inch large-diameter wheels and wider rear tires, the sporty aesthetic reaches its peak. Notably, the carbon fiber roof and exterior mirror housings brought by the Weissach package not only reduce weight but also enhance visual layering. At the rear, the through-type LED taillights remain a signature Porsche design with high recognition when lit. The lower diffuser is also made of carbon fiber, further reinforcing its performance-oriented positioning.

Opening the door, the interior continues Porsche's minimalist tech style. The center console revolves around a 10.9-inch touchscreen with a clear operating logic and fast response speed. The seats are exclusive sporty bucket seats wrapped in Alcantara material, offering excellent lateral support and ensuring comfort over long drives. The dashboard is a fully digital display, showing real-time information such as motor power and range. The steering wheel is manually adjustable, but its multifunctional buttons are logically laid out and easy to use. In terms of features, the BOSE audio system comes with 14 speakers and delivers excellent sound quality; automatic air conditioning, keyless entry, and lane-keeping assist are all standard, making daily use conveniently sufficient. However, due to the two-seat design, the rear seats are completely eliminated, and storage depends mainly on the central armrest console and door storage compartments in the front, which can just about meet the needs of two-person travel.

Regarding space, the dimensions of the car are 4968mm in length, 1998mm in width, and 1378mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2900mm. Although the vehicle is close to 5 meters long, the two-seat design makes the front seating area very spacious, with plenty of headroom and legroom for passengers up to 180cm tall. However, as the rear area is sealed and not intended for seating, it can only be used to store small items. With a minimum ground clearance of 126mm, it handles speed bumps daily without issues, but care should be taken not to scrape the underbody.

In terms of dynamic driving, this car’s performance is undoubtedly at a supercar level. The dual permanent magnet synchronous motors deliver a combined output of 760kW and a maximum torque of 1024Nm. The official 0-100km/h acceleration time is just 2.2 seconds, and during actual experiences, the initial burst of acceleration provided a powerful thrust that can even cause slight dizziness. When switched to Sport+ mode, power response becomes even more immediate. During overtakes, fully depressing the accelerator causes the motor to deliver maximum torque almost instantaneously, with virtually no lag. The chassis is equipped with double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension. The Weissach package further optimizes suspension tuning, resulting in minimal body roll when navigating curves. The steering is precise, and the steering feel is weighty, instilling a strong sense of confidence. However, on bumpy roads, the suspension's ability to filter out vibrations is average. While there is no rear passenger space, occupants in the front seats can still feel noticeable feedback from the road surface.

In terms of range, the official pure electric range is 555km. In actual tests, in urban congested sections, the energy consumption is approximately 19.5kWh per 100km. On highways maintaining 120km/h cruising, the energy consumption increases to about 22kWh. The combined range is approximately 480km, achieving about 86% of the official value, which is quite good. Fast charging time is 0.3 hours (30%-80%), making daily recharging convenient. In terms of noise control, wind noise and tire noise are quite noticeable during highway driving, but the noise from the electric motor itself is minimal. Overall, the performance aligns with the standards of a supercar.

In terms of safety features, this car comes standard with ABS anti-lock brakes, vehicle stability control, active braking, forward collision warning, and other functions. It is also equipped with front side airbags, head airbags, and knee airbags, offering comprehensive safety performance. However, the cruise control system is only a standard cruise system and does not include adaptive cruise control, making it less convenient for use on highways compared to adaptive cruise systems.

To summarize, the 2024 Taycan Turbo GT Weissach package has very distinct core strengths: extreme performance, precise handling, and the prestige of the Porsche brand, while retaining a four-door structure, making it more suitable for daily use compared to traditional supercars. Compared with competitors like the Tesla Model S Plaid in the same class, it offers superior chassis quality and brand premium, but falls short in terms of range. This car is suitable for those who pursue extreme performance while occasionally needing a daily driver, especially young people who enjoy driving fun or those who want a car that can provide both track experiences and urban commuting capabilities.

Overall, the 2024 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Weissach package is an electric supercar that perfectly combines performance and practicality. Although its price is as high as 1.16 million MYR, considering its performance and brand value, it is still worth considering for consumers who seek the ultimate experience. If you are looking for an electric car that can dominate the track and provide a comfortable commute in the city, this car is definitely a great choice.
