Right now, the range-topping trim in the Porsche Taycan family is the Turbo S. With 750 horsepower driving its electric powertrain, it can rip to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds. It's a perfectly reasonable flagship model for a performance-oriented sedan lineup, but it's not the fastest four-door EV you can buy right now. That honor goes to the Tesla Model S Plaid, but the car you see here might challenge that notion.
We've seen numerous camouflaged Porsche Taycan test vehicles in recent months, as the model is due for a mid-cycle refresh. What we haven't seen much are prototypes with properly massive brakes, ultra-thin tires, and a big rear spoiler. The tires and brakes aren't necessarily game-changers, but you won't find that wing on a Taycan Turbo S. If this is a Turbo GT, our spy sources believe it could pack over 1,000 hp from its electric motors. That would most decidedly give Porsche a prize fighter to face the bonkers Model S Plaid.
