4S (J1.1) to GTS (J1.2) - difference in power?

Or spend $102,500 and the GTS is even more faster

If going that route, spend $32,500 and get a used 2025 Taycan 4 and tune it to run a 9.8 1/4 mile at over 140 mph.

Either way, if speed is the only goal, a used Taycan with a tune is significantly the cheaper route, not a new GTS.

Hi, I had a 2021 4S with a the Performance Battery and went to a 2025 J1.2 GTS (not new but 6 months old). It is a great upgrade in terms of performance, I was originally going to go for the Turbo 2025, but the new GTS has more power than the old Turbo and to be honest, I do not need any more power than what I have now. The interior feels a lot more special than the standard 4S or even the Turbo in my view. The push pass is excellent and gives and extra boost of power that was not available in the 4S unless you used the launch which i rarely did, but the push to pass I use a fair bit, not because I need the power to pass, just because it is great fun.

Sound like my situation - I also like the complete GTS package (especially race tex and more racing setup) more than Turbo/Turbo S. With push-to-pash and 700 HK I don’t see why you would need more

At these levels, horsepower is rarely about “need.” You get used to it very quickly.

At one point you likely felt the same exact way about your 4S.

Either way, that’s a lot of money to buy basically the same car with a couple more options and more horsepower.

I would still consider the tune first to see if that satisfies you for a while and maybe wait for a model refresh before going new.

Or look at a used 2025 GTS.
