Is it me or does he really crank on the wheel at the start…

I'm working on finding out the hardware difference between RS E-Tron GT, Performance, Taycan Turbo, Turbo S, Turbo GT.
I suspect the only difference would be the Turbo GTs rear inverter of 900amp for higher and longer high speeds.
If that's the case, I'm hoping @redshift-performance can get 1100hp out of those variants.

I believe the press releases do say the Taycan GT has a "different" rear motor.

But, one would have the also assume a different front motor as well given the top speed of the GT since we know that the current array of motors are limited to 16,000rpm on each axle, and the 2024 RS and Turbo/S are near that at their current gov't top speeds.

But, if the 2025 RS Turbo/S share the same motors as the 2024 models, they already have a combined 1200amp set-up, they can the potential of approx 624hp on each axle (albeit with different power curves), which should be near the limits of the updated 100+kWh battery.

In other words, no matter if RS/Turbo/S or GT, they would still be limited to the battery pack output. It' just that the GT has the advantage of being more flexible in it's power distribution between each axle, where as the RS/Turbo/S would be limited to a 50/50 split when uncorked to the battery limits.

The Audi RS E-Tron GT Performance has a different rear motor. Which would be the same as the Turbo S.
If the GT has a different rear motor, then that means all the front motors are the same?

I would love to see the actual part numbers on these

I got the part numbers for the Turbo GT and Turbo S Traction Motor, Rear. Indeed they are different part numbers.
Turbo S is $16,700
Turbo GT is $19,521
