Taycan GT2 RS Could Be Your Future All-Electric Corner Carver
Rennlist Taycan rendering has us thinking that the future of electric cars may not be too bad, after all.
Porsche fans are somewhat split on the existence of the Taycan, which is really no surprise. After all, this is a fan base that virtually willed the automaker to bring back the manual transmission in the GT3 when it seemed like it was gone forever. Perhaps more than any make, Porsche fans are purists, through and through. Throw an electric car into the mix, and well, they’re bound to be a little apprehensive. But now that the Taycan is here, no one can deny its overall impressiveness.
With the first all-electric Porsche now on the market, we can look forward to future variants. And what better way to carry on an ages-old tradition than by building faster, track-focused variants? The rendering you see before you, created by our brother site Rennlist, imagines what a GT2 RS version of the Taycan might look like. And quite honestly, we’re digging it.
Sure, the purists will likely scoff at such an idea. The 911-based GT2 RS is a sacred object, the ultimate version of Porsche’s long-running icon. But let’s not forget that the automaker is doubling down on the electric Formula E series. They’re investing vast resources in an effort to develop their electric technology. Technology that’s bound to trickle down to their street cars, as it always has.
Porsche has always been about performance, and the Taycan is no exception. We’ve already seen what the 750 hp Taycan Turbo is capable of, and there’s no doubt more is one the way. We’ve also learned from the Tesla Model 3 that electric cars can handle quite well, not just serve as straight-line rockets. Thus, this GT2 RS version would utilize the same aero tricks as its 911 brother. Not to mention a host of suspension mods and (maybe) a lot more power.
Considering the fact that the Taycan Turbo already makes more power than the 911 GT2 RS, that figure should be rather astounding. Or, perhaps Porsche might just focus on aero and suspension. Regardless, we can count ourselves among the Porsche fans who aren’t loathing this electric future. So long as we can still buy our GT3 RS with a naturally-aspirated flat-six and a manual transmission, that is!
