FIRST LOOK: Porsche Taycan Turbo GT - Smashes Tesla’s Lap Record AGAIN!

The Porsche Taycan Turbo S is already absurdly fast - but now it’s been beaten. By Porsche. To battle the likes of the Tesla Model S Plaid and Lucid Air Sapphire, Stuttgart has cooked up the Taycan Turbo GT, capable of 0-62mph in as little as 2.2 seconds. Yep. Absurd.
It remains dependent on a dual-motor (rather than tri-motor) set-up, but can generate up to 1,108hp in its ‘Attack’ mode, and go all the way to 190mph. It’s lapped the Nürburgring in 7mins 7sec and has now destroyed Tesla’s record around California’s best racetrack: Laguna Seca.
Top Gear’s Ollie Kew was there to witness the record being set, give a tour of the new super-Taycan, and have a passenger ride in the record car with Porsche’s lap time hero, Lars Kern. It’s a hugely impressive machine (the Turbo GT, not Lars), but is it one the world actually needed?

@pierrebarratt4705 2 месяца назад

The repaving was completed in June 2023, it's not only a resurfacing but there's more track and run off at Turn 5 and 9. I went the first weekend after the re-pave and posted a 1:42.66, as the track rubbered in during October I posted a 1:39.66. Randy Pobst in the same car before the re-pave did a 1:37.82, and I'd be nowhere near him for it not for the new track configuration. Make what you will of that, but Lars Kern was using all the additional run off in his lap.

@ALMX5DP 2 месяца назад

⁠@@pierrebarratt4705ah interesting, I presume you mean ‘23 but yeah sounds like a few seconds quicker potentially since they did that. Tesla might need to return or perhaps we’ll see what the rumored Model 3 Plaid can do once it arrives. Oh sorry misinterpreted your times. What do you think you would have gotten before the repave? Could be significantly more time between then as yeah before a track is rubbered in, it can be quite loose (especially at a track like MRLS which can be very high risk high reward).

Hilarious you think $4mill hypercar techs going into a 200k car. Their battery& motors are far worse than teslas. The only reason they win on a track is due to porsche specifically targeting the car for that, its set up with loads of anti roll tech, for christ sake the plaids on bags 🤣 these cars are for two completely separate customers. The plaid is also half the price has more features like self drive, cooled seats etc. plaids also a hatchback so the body isnt stiffer, more over the model they used on this run was only a 2door because there are no rear seats, so in fact we’re comparing a 2dr track focussed porsche to a 5dr hatchback tesla on bags set up for dailying… realise how dumb it is yet?

And these are massive, heavy EV’s, the battery alone weighs a ton. Just wait 5-10 years when their weight drops drastically due to the advancement of battery technology.

@Cloxxki 2 месяца назад

@@Glock7eventeen But, they have NOT gotten any lighter in the past 12 years, for some reason? Model S is still there. Similar battery size, similar weight. Even if the Plaid battery is halved in weight (which take battery density to be 3x or 4x), that's only a 270 kg reduction. Even shaving 100kg from the Plaid battery will take some doing. Cybertruck and the new Roadster were to have 500 Wh/kg cells, but since they're still under 300 Wh/kg, the Cybertruck got 123 kWh with 200 kWh PROMISED for the Roadster. 500 Wh/kg for a same capacity replacement pack for Plaid would save...100-150kg, maybe? Wild guess, Plaid is 372kg cells, 170kg everything else. 500 Wh/kg would be 201 kg in cells, but the cooling might need to be more robust for the 4680 format chosen, whatever Tesla told us to prop up share price.

I'm clearly not an EV guy, but I can admit that the Taycan, specifically the Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo wagon models are really phenomenal, literally the only EV's I've ever even considered being cool... and people freaked when they made them, but they were smart and kept them to themselves, and threw some hybrid tech into the Pan's and Cayenne's.... I really can't see this ending well if they take their true drivers and "performance" lineup and do similar to them, unless they make a complete separate trim of each and keep it like that. People need to put their foot down.... we all seen what dumbass Mercedes did with the infamous 63's.... completely ruined their entire standing....

Terminal understeer might be the understatement of the century. Turn in, the front tires aren't enough, then the computers artificially apply overpower to outside rear wheel to trim the line. To be clear, I think for what it is, the Taycan Turbo GT is fantastic, and if I was in the market, this would be it. But the "fun" at the track seems to stem solely from the novelty of the speed, and not that its 'pure' fun.

And immediately the Teslafans start complaining and crying again. It's so predictable.... but, but the plaid model costs less. Of course, if that were the only thing that mattered, everyone would drive a Model S, but they don't. A Charger also costs less than an M5 and still has more horsepower, but most people want a BMW and not a Dodge. One is a car from a luxury brand, the other is a big Mazda with an engine from a vacuum cleaner. Last year 40,069 Taycan and 68,874 Model S and X combined were sold. Despite the higher price, people still prefer to buy a Porsche.
