It was a crisp and clear March morning, the weak sun fighting the early dew off Porsche's circuit, as I was strapped into the five-point harness in the new Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. Sitting in the pit lane on Porsche's private track at its Leipzig facility, Porsche candidly referred to the track sessions as "taxi rides". A tongue-in-cheek joke perhaps, but also an opportunity to get first-hand experience of the most powerful production Porsche so far, with a professional driver behind the wheel.
The Porsche Taycan is one of the best electric cars on the road, previously topping out with the formidable Taycan Turbo S. The Taycan Turbo GT pushes this electric car even further and comes in two variants: there's the "normal" model with the full complement of seats, and then there's the version with the Weissach package.
