Pictures of the 2025 Taycan Turbo from SXSW

Decided to pop over to the Porsche lounge at SXSW in Austin. Thought y'all may appreciate an IRL zoom in of the new face

I think that sums it up. It's pretty underwhelming in person. People there made a much bigger deal of a .1 4S in Frozen Berry as it looked the part of an exotic. Something about the color of the Turbo, the underwhelming wheels, the way it more resembles a conventional automobile - it was parked next to the "badge" line to get in, but nobody seemed to be much paying attention to it.

What color is the Turbo? It doesn’t look like Frozen blue. I see no shadows, no sun, so presumablyt the white balance is off on these pictures and everythting is muted and colored by the overcast sky lighting.

Looks pretty close to what my eyes remember seeing

I agree looks kind of like the shade green on the configurator. Thanks for the picture, I will not be getting this color.

I have seen a few photos and I really struggle to see much difference to gen 1.

The changes are subtle, but it definitely looks different to the trained eye - especially in person. The Turbo rear has new plastic "scoops" in the bumper, the headlights are differently shaped, including removing a lot of the "teardrop" aspects, the front bumper has a new shape and the wheels are different. If you weren't someone used to looking for subtle differences in the Taycan (as many of us are), you likely wouldn't see much difference.

Looking forward to see it. Quite curious.

And that's with the Turbo. The lesser trims lose the flourishes like the rear scoops.

From the perspective of the non-hardcore-enthusiasts, the difference for trims less than the Turbo is the front (looks generic now vs Mission E) and the light up Porsche logo in the back (some will think it's tacky, I think it's OK).

The turbo seems to be the Ice Grey, isn't it?

Definitely shade green. It doesn't look right on the configurator, but I've driven a Dakar in this color and can confirm this is it.
