Taycan Turbo GT new look

[RTH]

To me, it now looks like another Audi or Panamera. Lost its iconic look. Very disappointing.

What do you think?

Looks good to me, especially the rear where they made the black plastic monkey butt trim piece smaller. The front hasn't been improved but not any worse either,

I want to know looks aside, who is it for, and what is it for, and why is that the next logical step in improving our Taycan. I understand that they want to have a competitive sub 2 second product in a 3-motor space, but why, and who is that customer willing to pay over $200K for the 3rd motor to have sub 2 second capability. I am sure we can come up with a lot of things they could be working on instead of that to make Taycan better.

Looks great to me, keen to see what non-cosmetic upgrades we'll see too.

I think it was also an opportunity to make this a coupe body - still 4 seats but two doors.

I know that might encroach on the 911 buyer a little but so what…

I can kind of guarantee you that there are buyers out there. I know a couple guys from my dealer who will trade in their Turbo S in a heartbeat for one of these. They are already on the waitlist.

The look is obviously disguised with fake pieces all over the front so impossible to say what it is going to look like

I don't see any fake panels this time around.
I'm not quite so sure as to which parts are GT only, and which bits will be included in the regular facelift (other than the headlights, of course).

Looks like the same lights (headlight design) with a more aggressive bumper. There are still elements being hidden by panels.

This .2 version of the Taycan appears to have lost the battle between the designers that develop the beautiful lines of the car vs the engineers responsible for wind tunnel testing. It’s a step backward in terms of the Porsche ethos.

Agreed. Plus, looking closely at the headlights I'm inclined to see the front glass as fake. It doesn't match intern lamps layout that seems more consistent with the current headlights shape.

Oh man I hope that front is disguised.

I love my car so much.

Front looks like it caught a case of the "angular angries" to me.

I know that for sales the styling of a car is very important but for their fastest model the aero will have to trump looks to an extent.

If you want to honestly do a fast lap around the ‘ring there is no hiding it.

If it is all marketing BS performance, of course maybe not.

The lesser models can be beauty queens.
