porsche offers three new taycan variants for 2025

Porsche offers a mind-blowing number of trims and configuration options for almost every vehicle it sells, and the Taycan product line just got even more complex. The automaker announced updates to its sporty EV for 2025, which includes three new trims and better performance.

The trim addition brings the number of Taycan trims to 13. New variants include the Taycan GTS, GTS Sport Turismo, and a new all-wheel drive Taycan 4. Pricing for the line starts at $99,400 for the base Taycan, while the top Turbo S Cross Turismo starts at more than $211,000.

The new GTS trim has up to 690 horsepower and can be had in both the sedan and wagon body styles. Porsche installed an Electric Sport Sound system that it says is “to do justice to the exhilarating character of a GTS,” which here means a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds.

Porsche priced the Taycan 4 at $103,300. It gets 429 horsepower, adaptive air suspension, and Porsche Traction Management. The Taycan 4 Cross Turismo is a bit more expensive, starting at $111,100.

It’s always a bit tricky to get excited about another super-high-end EV, but it’s also hard not to be excited about a new Porsche. Improvements to the car’s range and performance helped overcome some of the early criticisms that it traded speed for range.

The best news is that you can get the base Taycan in AWD for $4000 over the RWD model while previously you had to spend 50k to upgrade to the 4S model. This will help sales in the snow belt.

Three Taycans? Call them Vaycan, Waycan, and Yaycan.

Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
