Porsche\u2019s GTS insignia can be found across the range, defining its cars that sit somewhere between its entry-level road cars and the machines that can take on the track. The previously unveiled 911 GTS, 718 Boxster GTS, Panamera GTS, and Macan GTS have satisfied the demanding tastes of Porsche enthusiasts. But, last July, Porsche unveiled its latest GTS model \u2013 the controversially electric Taycan GTS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taycan means \u201csoul of a spirited young horse\u201d in Turkish, and was inspired by the black horse running wild in the Porsche emblem. Today, Porsche\u2019s only electric vehicle model, the Taycan, is available in a variety of lineups from the base model to the 4S, Turbo, and Turbo S with the GTS \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 sitting comfortably in the middle. But don\u2019t think it\u2019s just some mid-level offering, as the GTS is said to be the most \u201cPorsche\u201d-like model in the Taycan range. This is because no other brand is as serious about GTS as Porsche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first Porsche model to wear the GTS badge was the 904 Carrera GTS, unveiled in 1963. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the grandson of the founder of Porsche and the designer of today\u2019s iconic 911, built the first GTS car to live up to the saying \u201cEvery Porsche is racing.\u201d Simply put, any car bearing the GTS emblem is the best for driving fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2022 Taycan GTS, which Hypebeast [Korea] got its hands on for Open Road, is a new car that has just been released in Korea. As soon as we saw it coming up from the parking lot in the distance, we couldn\u2019t help but get emotional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clashing with the ground in \u201cCarmine Red,\u201d and also with the gold crest-studded wheels that measure in as 21\u201d RS Spider designs, you immediately know this Taycan stands for presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To feel the output of the Taycan GTS, which is around 600 BHP, we had to leave the city center of Seoul. After getting into the car, we searched for Yeongjongdo on the navigation and got on the open road. With a total of five driving modes, the car allows you to run further with range extenders, behave normally, or increase the fun with \u201cSport\u201d and \u201cSport Plus\u201d settings, the latter extracting the most from its two electric motors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After entering Yeongjong Bridge, the driving mode and suspension were changed to \u201cSport\u201d to increase the fun. From the accelerator pedal to the toes, the sensation changed drastically, and a much stronger sense of torque was emitted. Adding to the driving experience is the \u201cPorsche Electric Sports Sound\u201d \u2013 e-sounds, also called the \u201cSpaceship Sound,\u201d is an artificially-made virtual sound, emulating the noise of an engine if it were from the future. There is no popcorn pops that you\u2019d enjoy in a 911, but every time you step on the pedal, you feel the excitement of being in the best electric four-door sportscar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electric motors are placed between the front and rear wheels for better balance (a key to Porsche\u2019s driving success and superiority). To feel its power, we decided to turn on the launch control on an empty straight road. Simultaneously letting go of the brake and stamping hard on the accelerator pedals engaged launch control before it shot us back in our seat. Your head clings to the headrest as if snatched away. Zero to 62 MPH in the Taycan GTS is just 3.7 seconds \u2013 so you do the math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing that impressed us the most while driving on the highway and in the city was the way it cornered and braked. The Taycan GTS, which already has a low center of gravity due to the characteristics of electric vehicles, shifts its axis of rotation every time it turns a corner. It stuck to the floor and showed off smooth cornering as if nothing could phase it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside, the \u201cGTS Interior Package\u201d comes with the same \u201cCarmine Red\u201d hue as the exterior and sports \u201cGTS\u201d embroidery on the headrests, bright red seat belts, and a dashboard elaborately stitched with detailing. A huge infotainment screen extending to the passenger seat matches the futuristic exterior, but is contrasted with a Porsche Design analog clock, per Porsche standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have 200 million won ($140,000 USD) in your wallet, there are so many car options you can buy. But if you have an electric car in mind, and particularly if you want the best electric car among them, we are certain that the end of that worry will begin with the Taycan. A car built by Porsche, which has arguably built some of the finest performance cars since the dawn of the combustion engine, now comes in electric form. It\u2019s simply the best of both worlds, alleviating your fears of electrification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
