Porsche Taycan Turbo GT breaks Nurburgring electric car record, 17 seconds ahead of Tesla

The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT recently set a new record for the fastest production electric car on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The electric car equipped with the Weissach package performed well on the track known as the "Green Hell", completing the race in an astonishing time of 7 minutes 7.55 seconds, more than 17 seconds faster than the previous record holder Tesla Model S Plaid .

The Nürburgring is famous for its bumpy roads, sharp turns and narrow track restrictions, which pose great challenges to both drivers and vehicles. However, Taycan Turbo GT racer Lars Kern successfully overcame this challenge thanks to his outstanding driving skills and the vehicle's outstanding performance.

According to the editor’s understanding, the Taycan Turbo set a record this time The GT is equipped with a dual-motor system that can produce up to 1,019 horsepower and 1,339 Nm of torque in ejection start mode. In standard mode, the car's maximum power is 777 horsepower. In addition, a new "Attack Mode" can unleash an additional 160 horsepower at the touch of a button for 10 seconds, giving the driver more overtaking opportunities.

#The optional Weissach package not only adds an adaptive rear wing and Gurney flaps, thereby increasing total downforce to 485 pounds, but also removes the rear seats and other means , making the car approximately 157 pounds lighter than the Taycan Turbo. These improvements significantly improve the vehicle's handling and stability, demonstrating excellent performance on the Nürburgring track.

The top-of-the-line 2025 Porsche Taycan can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 2.2 seconds without the optional Weissach package. After optional equipment, the acceleration time can be further shortened to 2.1 seconds. Although this result is still better than the Tesla Model The S Plaid's claimed 1.99 seconds is slightly slower by 0.1 second, but considering the Porsche Taycan only uses two motors, the Tesla Model S Plaid has three motors, and this gap is already quite small. This also shows that in the performance competition, in addition to the power itself, how to effectively transmit the power to the road is also crucial.
