It’s striking in black and doesn’t look like an EV. However in a few years it will compete against used EV Macan and Cayennes.

For the record...Motortrend reports "Record Setter! 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Weissach Sets New 0–60-MPH Mark":
"The Quickest of All Time
We won’t tease you—here’s the data: The new 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Weissach launches from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.89 seconds (2.10 seconds without our standard 1 foot of rollout). That’s 0.05 second quicker (with rollout; 0.04 without) than the second-quickest car we ever tested, a slightly heavier non-Weissach Taycan Turbo GT, and 0.18 second quicker than our previous 0–60 champ, a pre-production Tesla Model S Plaid, which hit the mark in only 2.07 seconds. (That latter figure, if you can believe it, was a disappointment to Tesla; the quickest production Model S Plaid we’ve tested needed 2.24 seconds.)
(…)
The Taycan Turbo GT Weissach is equally at home when attacking corners on twisty roads. There’s an immediacy in the Porsche’s responses; its quick steering, confidence-inspiring brakes, composed chassis, and forgiving suspension all react in tandem to changes in the road, subtly communicating those to the driver through the steering wheel and seat.
Unlike some of its high-horsepower electric rivals, there are no obvious software limitations to uncorking the Turbo GT in the canyons. With plenty of stopping power and a bleeding-edge battery-management system, this Taycan rewards those who just treat it like any other high-powered all-wheel-drive supercar: trail-brake into corners, and start rolling on the accelerator through the apex, relying on the front motor, torque-vectoring system, and four-wheel steering to pivot the chassis quickly toward and down the next straightaway. "
It’s an all-time MotorTrend record, and the standard Taycan Turbo GT is no slouch, either.

This car is undeniably an exceptionally brilliant, masterclass example of engineering. Alas, über-exorbitant in price, resale values more than questionable, extremely dodgy current market environment and...in general, maybe a bit "too much". Still, a car that showcases just how competent Porsche engineers are.

Of course, this will hardly convert the perennial EV naysayers. But more interesting for those who may be open to embracing alternatives to traditional ICE powertrains:

An interesting review that exemplifies the "problematics" pertaining to the rapid pace of progress in innovation in the context of residuals. But IMHO, a pre-owned Gen I Taycan can be a very attractive choice for many.
