Despite being a five-figure option on Porsche’s other GT cars, the Taycan Turbo GT’s Weissach package is a no-cost option that saves up to 157 pounds, raises the top speed from 180 mph to 190 mph, and improves the car’s aerodynamics. A large fixed rear wing replaces the active spoiler, and the Weissach pack also adds a different front diffuser and underbody air deflectors. Porsche says total downforce is up to 485 pounds.
Carbon-fiber b-pillar trim, side mirror caps, side skirts and other parts help reduce weight with the Weissach package. There’s a lightweight luggage compartment, less insulation, no more power trunk, and the floor mats, trunk mats, and Sport Chrono pack’s analog clock are chucked out. Weissach cars also only have a charging port on the passenger side. A Sound Package Plus gets read of the rear speakers, too.
The biggest change with the Weissach package is that it deletes the Taycan’s rear seat, replacing it with “a tailor-made, high-quality lightweight carbon fiber cladding with a storage compartment.” That means the Turbo GT is the first time Porsche has offered a four-door model with a rear-seat delete, and it’s in extremely limited company — the only other recent examples I can think of are
the Toyota GR Corolla and
Jaguar XE SV Project 8. Otherwise the interior isn’t too different.
