Porsche Taycan GT Spied Virtually Undisguised, Insider Claims It Has 1,000+ HP

https://www.motor1.com/news/686424/porsche-taycan-gt-spy-shots/

Things I noticed:
- Larger tail lights I assume to address concerns they are not noticeable enough and could be a safety hazard according to some posts I've seen here

- Air vents in rear bumper presumably to relieve some pressure being built-up in the rear bumper or to further cool the braking system

- I still don't like the new headlights however the "tear drop" area is an improvement for me personally

- Obviously a substantial wing in the back with a small lip on the trunk

- New trimming around car similar to the off road design package

Just my 2 cents: no more electric charging port? Will the Turbo GT come as manual port only?

I've been saying this for years, cars over 500 HP should require a special license

Um no, we are adults and know what we are getting and doing. Meanwhile, these kids on high powered ebikes / trail ebikes don’t seem to know what they are doing when they are going on road, going airborne in parks, ignoring traffic signs, etc. Those are the ones that require a special license, more specifically, a motorcycle license because they are essentially motorcycles.

Gonna break from the rest of the pack here and say I love the new styling. The "running mascara" look to the front is the defining feature that sets the Taycan apart, but these changes look a bit cleaner. The back end is perfection so they shouldn't try to do too much there.

Take that ridiculous wing off and remove the slap-on plastic aero bits on the front and rear bumpers, and the car will look just fine. I prefer the current model, but I honestly don’t think this looks bad and it seems to be the new design language so the EV models across the model line will look more similarly styled. Right now the Taycan front end is a bit unique in the Porsche design spectrum.

The refreshed Taycan is going to look good, though this one will be a bit of an abomination IMO. But they’ll sell every one (of the very few) that they make.

The rear wing will be a major part of the lap time improvement at the Nurburgring.
Not needed at all for the road, of course, but this is the "fast model" so crucial for lap time.

As I have written before this is a PORSCHE so actual chassis performance will be high on their priority for this model, above styling.

Maybe they will make a more pose suitable model and call it "touring" later?

The test mules are certainly being put through their paces as the following footage shows.

That's definitely sped up right?

Agreed, but it’s still embarrassingly goofy on that car. Gonna be a really fast, really stupid looking car.

…….I’m with @f1eng in that aero is about speed no style in this instance ref looks. Now for a statement that will get me ‘flamed’……..my dislike is that there is no traditional Porsche engine noise!…….am always going to struggle on that front with EV’s.

oh and before anyone comments about electric sound/simulation sound…..nope, ‘that dog don’t hunt’

It sounds like a tie fighter

Looks are a matter of taste.

Some people like spoilers and carbon fibre embellishment that look stupid to me
