Does anyone know how much more it now weighs?

I compared curb weights of Turbo Sedan since both gens Tech Specs can be seen on the US configurator:

2024: 5,119 lbs
2025: 5,062 lbs

Yeah, but is it quickest while also towing a 911?

Kidding

The comment section will be filled with teslarati members about Porsche being slow and expensive. And petrol head saying they prefer the sound of a v8.
Oh and before I forget, here and there a comment about gen1 of Taycan and depreciation

Will the Taycan TurboS towing a Cybertruck be quicker than a 911?

At the end of the day, I actually feel good with my first gen Taycan 4S.

This car is so nice looking and the updates made on the body (really not sure about the way the low-end front bumper looks) and the interior are so minimal… no one not Porsche enthusiast will never notice it’s “only” a Gen 1. No depreciation from this perspective.

I consider the range improvement as being “the” major improvement... which I will take benefit from only 10 times a years...The max charging speed is somewhat a gimmick considering the 2 minutes gain in real life it will provide, once in a while.
Other improvements, especially the ones related to the suspension would deserve extensive road tests because I'm struggling imaging what they could bring in comfort or precision vs the current one.
But the feature I'd like the most is the push to pass boost button.

For the rest, I tried all the wheels of the configurator and I was unable to find some better looking than the first gen Mission-e... The new wheels are certainly efficient but hell they look weird...

But suddently, I realize that all those risky changes made under the skin to cope with the competion (battery, heater, charger, dampers,...) might have as well a negative impact on the reliability... precisely the opposite you would expect from a second itération of the Taycan.... New parts, new issues...Now I'm scared.

Then I am not able to understand how curb weight differences from the configurator above for the Turbo Sedan align with -15kg less overall graphic below that compares the same gen 1 and gen 2 Turbo:

Same here - massive step forward (but I'm not going to spend $50k to upgrade from my '21 RWD).

Great upgrade on Porsche's part! If a fully decked out RWD is going to cost $130K including dealer markup, it might make earlier versions a little more appealing to buyers with a budget. That might slow depreciation considerable. Hope so anyway.

Interesting that Porsche is showing both pre and post facelift models in their configurator (at least on the US site). Guess there're still people ordering MY24 after today? (cheaper, prefer the pre-facelift exterior, etc.)

Is anyone else a bit confused about the new CarPlay functionality? They seem to be referring to it as CarPlay+, but that's not a branding that I've seen Apple use anywhere. At the same time if you look at the PDF that was posted earlier, they appear to mostly be talking about the Porsche CarPlay app, which of course is nothing like next gen CarPlay and is something we already have in the current cars.

As I understand it, it's been more or less confirmed that some Porsche model(s) will get next gen CarPlay this year, so one would assume that the new Taycan would be it, but I find it strange in that case that they are presenting it like this.

Yep, I’m not sure who came up with CarPlay+ but as you say, Apple has never used it.

It’s hard to say if the new Taycan has updated infotainment hardware. It’s conspicuous by the absence of it not being mentioned I think. Also the apps on PCM are different, it has a conglomerate streaming service, but no YouTube etc yet. But that does exist in the new Macan, which is 100% confirmed to be running Android Automotive. I’m starting to think the infotainment in the new Taycan is not on that platform, which is a real shame.

In the pictures, the rear bumper vents on a Turbo look to be non-functional, so perhaps the new Taycan just went all fake vents just for looks..

After staring at pictures and the configurator, I am can honest say I think the front end of the non-Turbo models looks better to me.

side note: BMW iX with soft close doors add a horrible "cheap, rattling" feeling to the doors. Would never want that.

Got an ix m60 with soft close and have had no such issues

This is a facelift, not a new Taycan. So upgrading their OS is a little too much

Maybe I am missing something but was playing around with the German configurator to have a better feel of pricing and a Taycan Turbo was 230k, Taycan 4S was 200k and Macan Turbo at 145k (fairly full optioned). I tried putting the same options on them as much as I could.

I just don't see the new pricing value in Taycan anymore, especially when compared to Macan and was convinced that they would lower prices to better match the Macan but I guess I was wrong. I have a feeling Porsche will not sell many of them at these prices as why would a Taycan 4S be worth 60k more than a Macan Turbo.

Similar feelings, you can spec a really nice Macan Turbo and still have a LOT of change left over, and the Macan still has some advantages: new infotainment, AR HUD, physical controls, 22” wheels, and more practical. Maybe not as special on the road though?
