Porsche will unveil Taycan GTS at Los Angeles Auto Show.

Carmine red paint and dark-colored wheels paired with a sportier bumper make it easy to recognize a Porsche GTS model. Inside the car, there are also lightweight components with carmine red accents to represent the GTS identity. In the Porsche family, the GTS usually falls between the 4S and Turbo models. Now, Porsche is set to release the Taycan GTS at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show, which will be the brand’s first pure electric GTS model.

Based on the images released, the model on the left with a luggage rack on the roof is clearly a travel version, while the one on the right is a three-box version. Earlier, Porsche had released the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, which transformed the rear of the car to a travel format and added black plastic cladding to protect the paint from damage on unpaved roads. The Sport Turismo GTS will remove the black plastic trim on the cladding and replace it with a more sporty kit. The relationship between the Cross Turismo and Sport Turismo is similar to Audi’s allroad and Avant.

In terms of power, the Taycan GTS will be positioned between the 435 horsepower 4S and the 625 horsepower Turbo. Notably, Porsche may offer both four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive options for the GTS version. As for the battery pack, the 4S currently has a 79.2 kWh battery, while the Turbo uses a 93.4 kWh battery. It is highly possible that the GTS, with stronger performance than the 4S, will have a larger battery of 93.4 kWh. Of course, for the GTS model, choosing a smaller battery with rear-wheel drive would bring more agile handling.

Electrification can bring better power and handling performance to sports cars. As Porsche’s first GTS model, how the Taycan GTS and Taycan Sport Turismo GTS will further stimulate driving enjoyment is highly anticipated by Porsche fans like me. In addition, the appearance of the Sport Turismo is also an exciting prospect.
