One of our spy shooters just caught a rather intriguing looking Porsche Taycan running around on roads outside the Nürburgring. It’s unlike any Taycan we’ve seen before, as it features a massive aero package that looks track day-ready.

What this Taycan exactly is will remain rumor and mystery for now, but we have some guesses. Assuming this test car is a reflection of something Porsche will come to market with, there’s a decent chance it adopts the Turbo GT moniker debuted on the Cayenne. With this name, Porsche skirts around the vehicle being a full GT model like the 911 GT3 or Cayman GT4, but it still clearly announces the vehicle’s intentions of being an extreme performance car.

The big rear wing does most of the announcing all by itself, though. There’s a mini ducktail underneath the wing, and as you start to look closer all around it, you’ll quickly see that this Taycan means business. Examine the lower rear bumper closely, and a partial diffuser on both sides reveals itself. Further up, the rear bumper features extra winglets on either side.
