911, Panamera, Taycan, 918 Spyder? From naturally aspirated to hybrid to all-electric, here are the 10 fastest road cars in Porsche history

Porsche has always been synonymous with making fast cars but over the decades certain models have taken that to new heights. To determine exact acceleration times requires a set of complicated equipment and a lot of testing. We’ve crunched all the data on every road car that Porsche has built in order to compile the ultimate list of the fastest-accelerating road vehicles (at least, that is, until a new, even faster one is revealed).

So here, in reverse order, are the cars that will get you from standstill to the benchmark 100km/h (0-62mph) in the quickest time.

10. Porsche 911 Turbo (type 992)

0-100km/h (0-62 mph) 2.8 seconds with Sport Chrono package

Just mentioning the word ‘Turbo’ is enough to quicken the pulse of any car fan. The most recent 911 Turbo (type 992) was unveiled in the summer of 2020. The all-wheel drive Turbo is powered by a mighty 580 PS (572 hp) flat-six, twin-turbo engine. With the Sport Chrono package, it will blast you to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) from standstill in just 2.8 seconds. To give you an indication of the kinds of incremental, yet significant, developments seen in each new 911 Turbo, this added up to a rise of 40 PS (39 hp) in power output over the previous 911 Turbo (type 991).

9. Porsche Taycan Turbo S (2019 model year)

0-100km/h (0-62 mph) 2.8 seconds with Launch Control

When electric power first started making its way into modern motoring, some traditionalists feared it would mark the end of excitement behind the wheel. But that was before the Porsche Taycan came along. This all-electric sportscar has a 93.4kWh battery powering two electric motors. In Turbo S form, it develops 761 PS (750 hp) of overboost power in combination with Launch Control. The result? 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 260 km/h (162 mph).

It’s yet another Porsche that can boast a lap record at the Nürburgring, too. A Taycan Turbo S fitted with the optional performance kit lapped the Nordschleife in a time of 7 minutes 33.3 seconds in 2022 – at the time the fastest ever for a series-production electric car. In 2024, an updated Taycan Turbo S was launched (see below) – and proved to be even quicker.

8. Porsche 911 GT2 RS (type 991.2)

0-100km/h (0-62 mph) 2.8 seconds with Manthey Performance Kit

At the risk of sounding repetitive, here’s another Porsche sportscar that grabbed a lap record at the Nürburgring. The GT2 RS (type 991.2), in the hands of that man Lars Kern again, managed a Nordschleife lap time of 6 minutes 43.3 seconds in 2021 – at the time a new record for road-approved production cars on the 20.8 km-long (12.93 miles) circuit.

Fitted with the Manthey Performance Kit, here was a car built for the road but possessing astounding track capabilities. A 0-100km/h (0-62 mph) time of 2.8 seconds – courtesy of its 700 PS (690 hp), 3.8-litre engine – is clear evidence of its endless ability to entertain.

7. Porsche Taycan Turbo (2024 model year)

0-100km/h (0-62 mph) 2.7 seconds with Launch Control

The current version of the Taycan Turbo (as of September 2025) is 0.1 seconds quicker to the 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) mark than the previous generation of Taycan Turbo S, with a time of 2.7 seconds Photo: Porsche

Taking just 2.7 seconds to sprint from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) for the Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo Sport Turismo (the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo checks in at 2.8 seconds to hit the same mark) this is a car with stunning acceleration. Adding outstanding handling and performance combined with a comfortable, sophisticated ride, means that this latest version (as of September 2025) of the all-electric sports car is a force to be reckoned with.

A brilliant all-rounder, its 884 PS (871 hp) overboost maximum power with Launch Control translates to a top speed of 260 km/h (162mph).

6. Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years

0-100km/h (0-62 mph) 2.7 seconds with Sport Chrono package

Built to mark 50 years since the first-ever 911 Turbo in 1974, the 911 Turbo 50 Years honours this milestone with a 911 that celebrates the outstanding performance and design traits of the Turbo name by turning up exclusivity levels to 11. Owners of each of the 1,974 models made – the number matching the year the 911 Turbo was born – revel in an impactful exterior design package featuring a rear wing finished in Anthracite Grey, a colour that also extends to the lower rear section, side skirts, mirror base and rear side air intakes, with further elements treated to the exclusive Turbo colour, Turbonite.

Inside, a nod to the past are seat and door inserts inspired by the historic Dress Mackenzie tartan of that first 911 Turbo. Performance is correspondingly impressive. Its 650 PS (641 hp), 3.7-litre boxer engine takes just 2.7 seconds to power from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) and can hit a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph).

5. Porsche 911 Turbo S (type 992.1)

0-100km/h (0-62 mph) 2.7 seconds

In 2020 Porsche revealed a new incarnation of the 911 Turbo S in the form of the type 992 model. With numerous tweaks and upgrades to make it even quicker than ever, both in a straight line and through bends, it’s powered by a 650 PS (641 hp), 3.8-litre, flat-six engine that sprints from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.7 seconds (when fitted with the Sports Chrono Package) and can reach 330 km/h (205 mph). Once up to speed, active aerodynamics help to maximise downforce and minimise drag as appropriate.

Porsche has never been one to rest on its laurels so, in September 2025, the bar has been raised once again. See below for details.

4. Porsche 918 Spyder

0-100km/h (0-62 mph) 2.6 seconds

In 2014, the automotive world was waking up to the performance potential of hybrid technology – not least Porsche. In the face of competition from other performance manufacturers, it produced this innovative, mind-blowing hypercar. The 918 Spyder paired a 4.6-litre V8 with twin electric motors (one on each axle) to give the driver a combined 887 PS (875 hp) of power. Less than 1,000 were made – 918 (of course!) to be exact – but lucky owners are able to experience a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of just 2.6 seconds and a top speed of 345 km/h (214 mph).

Unsurprisingly, it was yet another Porsche to set a Nürburgring lap record time. Marc Lieb’s mark of 6 minutes 57 seconds in 2013 made the 918 Spyder the first production model to break the seven-minute barrier on the Nordschleife. The astonishing 918 Spyder still has the visual and performance impact to wow the crowds over a decade after it was launched.

3. Porsche 911 Turbo S (type 992.2)

0-100km/h (0-62 mph) 2.5 seconds

It only takes a few words to summarise the mind-blowing performance of the latest 911 Turbo S coupé (launched in September 2025) – it’s the fastest 911 production car ever made. It raises the ante for the legendary 911 model with 711 PS (701 hp), a figure helped in no small part by the introduction of the twin turbo, T-Hybrid technology first unveiled in the current 911 GTS.

The Turbo S Coupé has a 0-100 km/h (0-62mph) time of just 2.5 seconds (2.6 seconds for the 911 Turbo S cabriolet), with a top speed that checks in at 322 km/h (200 mph). A winning combination of clever aerodynamics, optimised chassis and that phenomenal engine all add up to a 911 that creates a brand-new benchmark for the model.

2. Porsche Taycan Turbo S (2024 model year)

0-100km/h (0-62 mph) 2.4 seconds

The latest version of the Taycan Turbo S is even more of a white-knuckle ride than its predecessor. With 952 PS (938 hp) of overboost maximum power with Launch Control, it can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standing start in just 2.4 seconds – acceleration that gives it outstanding overtaking capabilities. But it’s much more than that, with agile handling and a high-quality interior that makes long-distance driving a delight. All this and the ability to hit a top speed of 260 km/h (162 mph).

0-100km/h (0-62 mph) 2.2 seconds

What else could our number one be? The fastest production car made by Porsche to date (as of September 2025), the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach package is an all-electric sportscar that has racked up the plaudits and performance records since its launch in 2024. There are two versions available – the other being the Taycan Turbo GT – but the addition of its optional aerodynamic kit gives the Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach package a slight edge.

Its raw figures are astonishing. Exceptional torque levels allow it to sprint from 0 to 100km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.2 seconds (2.3 seconds for the Taycan Turbo GT). Both cars boast a power output of 1034 PS (1019 hp) using overboost power with Launch Control. That makes it a standout performer on the track, but it’s also set up for everyday driving in comfort and elegance. The Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach package has been notching record after record since its launch, posting fastest times for electric production cars on some of the world’s greatest racetracks.
