Pre-Production Porsche Taycan Sets Nürburgring Lap Record For Four-Door EVs

[Matt at Pelican Parts]

This is pretty neat! Porsche is in the process of bringing a new all-electric Taycan to the market and from what we know, it's looking like it's going to be an absolute BEAST!

Recently test driver Lars Kern ran an extremely impressive lap time of 7 minutes and 7.55 seconds on the Nürburgring! The details around the car are still not known -but it's quite an achievement when compared to the Tesla Model S Plaid -also a 4 door EV which set a time of 7 minutes and 25 seconds!

Other current Porsche Nürburgring times include:
-991.2 GT3 with a time of 7 minutes and 12.70 seconds
-992 911 GT3 with a time of 6 minutes and 55.34 seconds
-718 Cayman GT4 RS with a time of 7 minutes and 4.51 seconds
-Cayenne Turbo GT with a time of 7 minutes and 33.95 seconds

The puts this new Taycan in a league with full-blown electric hypercars! What's your take on this new EV in the works?

I'm guessing that's a Turbo S version.

I also assume that the Lucid Air Sapphire hasn't run the ring?

I see Taycans pretty regularly. They aren't bad looking cars for what they are, certainly better than the Panamera which also isn't bad.
