- Porsche appears to be working on the most extreme and track-focused Taycan ever created.
- The prototype seems to be based on the Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach package.
- It incorporates a number of elements from the Manthey Kit offered on the 911 GT3 RS.
The Porsche Taycan lineup spans three models and a dizzying 22 variants. Another one could be on the horizon as spy photographers have snapped a hardcore prototype undergoing testing on the Nürburgring.

Reportedly being piloted by racing driver Lars Kern, the prototype appears to be based on the Taycan Turbo GT. However, we can see modified air intakes and covered air curtains. They’re joined by canards and extended wheel arches, which hint at a widebody kit.

A closer inspection reveals top-mounted front fender vents as well as a number of elements that draw inspiration from the Manthey Kit offered on the 911 GT3 RS. This includes rear aerodiscs and a ‘floating’ aerodynamic element behind the front wheels. They’re joined by a massive diffuser and what appears to be a lightly revised wing.
All of this suggests Porsche is working on a hardcore model that combines elements from the Weissach package with a new Manthey Kit. This means we could be looking at the most extreme and track-focused Taycan ever developed.

We can also add pricey to that list as the current Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach package starts at $239,400. It features a 97 kWh battery pack that feeds an upgraded dual-motor all-wheel drive system producing 777 hp (580 kW / 788 PS). However, Overboost and Launch Control enable the model to produce up to 1,019 hp (760 kW / 1,033 PS) and 914 lb-ft (1,238 Nm) of torque.
This enables the car to rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in a stunning 2.1 seconds before hitting a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h). The model can also run the quarter mile in 9.4 seconds.
