Why Porsche's $11,400 Full-Body Wrap for the Taycan Turbo GT is Pure, Unadulterated Eye-Candy

When it comes to making a statement with an electric vehicle, Porsche is not one to shy away from the spotlight. In a bold move that’s turning heads and setting the automotive world ablaze, Porsche has introduced an option for its exclusive Taycan Turbo GT that’s as extravagant as it is eye-catching: a full-body wrap costing a cool $11,400. But before you balk at the price, let’s dive into why this isn’t just a wrap, but a declaration of style, exclusivity, and boldness.

The wrap, available exclusively for the Turbo GT variant equipped with the Weissach package, is not just any sticker job. This meticulously designed full-body wrap features the Taycan's name emblazoned across the doors in an imposing script, with angled stripes emanating from each letter, arching over the roof, and cascading across the car’s body. To add to its grandeur, a third colossal Taycan script stretches from the hood's start all the way to the trunk lid, ensuring its presence is known from the skies to the streets.

For those seeking a more understated option, Porsche offers the "Taycan Exterior Decal Set," priced at a more modest $1,210. This package maintains the electrifying spirit of its more lavish counterpart but opts for subtly elegant side stripes and a striking hood and roof stripe, also adorned with the Taycan script.

Porsche’s palette for this striking design includes the audacious Voltage Blue, poised as the top choice for those daring enough to defy convention. For those with different tastes, matte or gloss black options are also available, though they starkly contrast the boldness of Voltage Blue. Moreover, Porsche's online configurator encourages customization, allowing these wraps to be paired with any of the Turbo GT’s color options, including those from the exclusive Paint to Sample catalog.

Visual options on the Turbo GT might seem limited with only six colors including the exclusive Purple Sky Metallic and Pale Blue Metallic. However, the interior options are tastefully curated, available in black with accents in GT Silver or Voltage Blue. Additionally, the new Victory Gold color for the brake calipers and Neodyme gold wheels provide further opportunities for personalization, ensuring that no two Turbo GTs need look the same.

The starting price for the Taycan Turbo GT is set at $231,995, a testament to its exclusivity and the premium Porsche places on innovation and design. With every optional extra, the price can escalate to $257,675, and with a Paint to Sample Plus color, even further to $284,845. Porsche also offers a unique delivery experience at its Experience Centers in Los Angeles or Atlanta for an additional $2,000.

In an era where EVs are increasingly common, standing out requires more than just performance; it demands a visual impact. Porsche understands this, offering the Taycan Turbo GT owners an opportunity to not just drive an electric vehicle, but to make a bold statement. The full-body wrap, in its opulence and exclusivity, serves as a vivid declaration of individuality and style in the electric age, proving once again that Porsche is not just about speed or technology, but about creating a unique and unforgettable presence on the road.
