Strap in for a class record lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife in a Taycan Turbo GT 

Ikr

Because EVs are at the point where no extra power can offset the weight penalty.. At this point, all that power is only good for drag racing.

porsche knows how to make cars go around a track fast whether that is an SUV or an EV they do it all

Being 12 second slow than less purpose built 911 GT3 with 510, THIS is hiliarious...

@@paveljanda8276 What? Surely you know lighter cars with better aero get better lap times, right? Having loads of HP and weighing over 2 tons isn't good for track performance lmao

It may not be as extreme for ICEs but you could easily go from 10L to 40L or more consumption in a 911 GT3 when you go for a timed attack. But obviously not tenfold.

Twice the consumption of a 20t electric bus! (100kwh/100km)

it is indeed very valuable information because it helps to estimate how many hot laps the car can survive. For a track that long and that suitable for very high speeds, two hot laps is not bad at all.

Heads up: The battery on the Turbo GT is actually 104,0kWh

When you floor the bugatti chiron and rev it to 7000 rpm it burns 160 L/100 km,and you cant go more than 10 minutes with it at its peak RPM

yeees

If porsche really wants to beat every one in the game,they should use battery cells with over 450 wh/kg energy density,and they should manage to have a battery pack with atleast 400wh/kg in structural pack level energy density,CATL will massproduce it's automotive version semi solid state condensed battery early summer this year with over 450 wh/kg in cell energy density,2025 porsche taycan turbo gt weighs 2290 kg din which is 5 kg weight reduction compared with 2023 turbo s and considering that much more power and range and battery size is amazing but if they manage to have CATL semi solid state structural battery in their taycan line up they will have 400 kg weight saving from the battery pack and they can reduce the weight of e drive units with another 80 kg from drivetrain,if they do 2027 taycan turbo gt will weigh 1800 kg din and a lot more range and performance i hope they will do what they should do to be the best.

Does the car ship with a roll cage and the same tires?

​@@davidfujkk8018When it comes to depreciation, all cars are not created equal. Electric vehicles lose more value than any other type

@@CatalystNetwork of course.

Cooldown straight out of a game, gotta love it

What does 'Attack mode" do exactly?

@@SdotThompsonprovides additional 160hp

There is a great chance they will go for a record lap once again.

I think there is a reason why you have to enable it manually each time, if you press it to often the car literally has to cooldown :D

@@davidfujkk8018Battery pack weighs 621kg with cells that are around ~250-280 Wh/kg so a 400kg weight saving is not going to happen. Also most of the weight is coming from it being a luxury sedan, it is "only" really 2-300kg more heavy than competitors to begin with, and those have almost half the horsepower.

@@swecreations battery pack has 170 wh/kg in pack level energy density so imagine it with 400 wh/kg structural battery pack,with 105 kwh capacity it will weigh 262 kg in total,which is 360 kg weight reduction in comparison,

​@@davidfujkk8018you gonna paste that into every comment?

@davidfujkk8018 SSBs are an option on the future, but catl will not be able to mass-produce them anytime soon: 1. SSBs are incredibly unsafe, thanks to the lithium anode, which can basically just strafe into the cathode and react with it, so it basically explodes. 2. SSBs are in it's current form wayyy to expensive, and that is nothing that will get better anytime soon, even if mass production, because of the high amount of lithium used in the cells. This makes SSBs not only high in cost, but also extremely damaging to the environment, and needs a lot of more safety in manufacturing. 3. SSBs have a short lifespan of just up to 200-500 cycles, which is way less than modern nmc or lfp cells While SSBs are very interesting, they are not a savior battery like some display them at, take them with a grain of salt, there is no holy grail. Sodium-batteries are much more likely to go into production soon, due to their very cheap prices and not to bad energy density (a tad worse than nmc cells, but better than many lfp cells)

And that's the difference between Tesla and Porsche 😄

@@d1onthe difference is one is years behind in software. I’ll give you a hint, the German one.

@@chabweezy9905 The difference is one is light years behind in build quality, design (especially interior), handling, cornering and literally everything else except a slightly better battery technology. Model S Plaid is just a nice engine and battery packed into a garbage car that feels worse than a VW Golf. And one of them is actually nice to drive and doesn’t need a FSD (beta) that drives for you…

@@d1on the taycan is a depreciating brick and its interior is almost as uninspired as elons products

​@@chabweezy9905 The tesla is much worse off in both of those things you speak of, at least this car can take a corner

The Nevera did in very hot weather, so they said that it overheated its tires real quick with its weight and torque

4 seats! Half the power and still just as fast. That’s engineering.

​@@kraenk12Weissach package has 2 seats

​@@abraxastulammo99404doors, alumunium chassis Compare to carbon chassis on Rimac Nevera

@@coolguy_2997 not so good cooling system on the $3M car. 🤷

I thought the same about the brakes!

​@@mopsnuf Brakes aren't an issue because the electric motors do most of the braking, so the friction brakes are very understressed

In this current world we have ICE, EV and then there's Porsche.

@@xpivelx well said

You work at Porsche

absolute truth! @@xpivelx

wish I could..@@alexandertsanga

No. The Nürburgring video is several months old, with green trees.

@@mattg432 yes but it was officially released today with the Laguna seca video 2 days ago

@@NICKCAMP04 Only the video has just been released - the record itself had been published in september 2023.

@@mattg432 you know there are a lot of stuff going on years ago that we still don't know yet 😅

he got frustrated since attack mode was not available

@@edorev-9817 Exactly, frustrated that the car is low on power...

​@@paveljanda8276frustated because 2 sec behind Rimac Nevera. a $3M hypercar. 2000hp, carbon chassis.

How is a GT3RS way faster with less than half the power ?

​@@Allen_BluntWeight, downforce mostly. Also, the Taycan is not a direct competitor to the GT3RS.

@@Allen_Bluntone is a purpose built sports car. The other is a luxury sedan. It's a bit like comparing an M5 CS to a GT3 RS. Totally diff cars.

The answer is weather conditions, tire grip limits and physics

@@royshavrickwell but the Nevera is a two seater hypercar.

And this wasnt a perfect lap. Porsche made sure Elon and his Plaid wont catch up lol

And the Plaid was a modified non-series version.

@@kraenk12 yes.

@@kraenk12no. The plaid did it stock. With Michelin 4s tyres. And no roll cage for chassis stiffness.

@@internetcommentprofessiona4408 i mean the Porsche is stock too, its just heavier than the production car due to the cage.

Maybe Taycan GT-RS

4 doors but 2 seats xD

@@wanfredzwick2173 S plaid in nurburgring, 4doors but one seat xD

100%

This Taycan is heavier and costs twice what the Plaid does. The Roadster is comparable in price with this one, but no. This would not be the intended opponent. The Roadster is aimed at hypercars. He'd probably just improve the Plaid with some more bells and whistles.

@@bengsynthmusic Whats the Roadster? It doesnt exist, so why are you talking about it?

​@@bengsynthmusicThis is a stock Taycan GT, only mod on rollcage.... stock spoilers, stock rear wing, stock rims, stock brakes, stock suspension... meanwhile, tesla S plaid, $700K mods cost. super big front-rear wing, diffuser, non street legal slick tyres, prototype spoilers, big camber mod, centre lock rims, single seat, etc.... But only 1 seconds faster than a stock taycan in Laguna Seca. hahahahaha $700K VS 250K

YEP... an very fast vacuum cleaner on wheels 😄

Makes it pretty sterile and boring to watch tbh. But the car is insanely fast

a 7 minute nordschleife lap is boring? Stop crying about EVs already bruh lmaoo@@freakattack6890

​@@SwaggonAs a spectator like you and me are, of course its more boring than watching an ICE car lmao

@@hasangenc2922 yes, of course, very boring. It only casually almost beat the rimac nevera lap time of 7:05 💀 stfu lol

Answer is Porsche active ride it’s simply a crazy active suspension straight out of a sci-fi movie I think engineering explained has a good vid about it

Same.

Dito

As an owner of a cookie jar and few cookies, I am equally impressed.

Such bs, lol. Soul is a universal thing. It is not limited to the obnoxious sound of an engine.

@@tbn22 could be, but I do miss the highpitch of a 6 cylinder.

Drive one and you know what Soul is…

​@@tbn22Not bs, lol, watch a Gt3 Rs lap and you'll know what he means. I still enjoyed this.

So a loud engine noise = soul. Even though this car has great handling and performance. It doesn't have a soul because it doesn't make loud noises. Okay.

Even at Laguna Seca they basically had to drive the track dry 😅

why Porsche guys insist on being fixated on Tesla I’ll never understand

It’s not that evs can’t handle it’s TESLAS that can’t handle

@@NICKCAMP04 to be fair, the Model S Plaid track package handles decent, much better than most vehicles, just not as well as the Taycan GT.

​@@TechnicallyJeffNot better than other sedans like the M5, or the E63 or Gt63. They all handle way better than the Pleb.

@@freakattack6890 I wouldn't say way better

@@TechnicallyJeff not necessarily to the point where it needed 1020 hp to do a 7:25 while other sedans like a Mercedes amg gt63 s needed 640 hp to do 7:23 or a 600 hp Jaguar doing 7:23 this taycan is also about the same weight as the plaid despite all the weight loss and still gaped the plaid that much with only 2 motors and a 2 speed transmission. It still needs improvement if it needs almost double the power to do the same laptimes as some other cars

Even this taycan do a sandbagging, its still only 2sec slower than rimac nevera. Fastest production EV car for now.

Not a Tesla fan, but Plaid is still a luxury saloon. This is something like 911 GT3 RS with useless read doors...

S Plaid is less than half price and has almost the same accleration. So for most people the Plaid is probably the better choice for a daily driver.

@@prof-nuke Basically the same story as always. Cant afford the porsche, go with something else cheaper

@@paveljanda8276 its not a luxury sedan, its just a Tesla. The Lucid is a luxury sedan

@@thepetrolman4879 Well, even if you can afford it, why should you spend more than the twice amount of money for almost no advantages for daily driving? And I'm pretty sure that the next Model S comes with a big step forward in acceleration and range. I drive an S Plaid for more than a year now and see no reason for change to Taycan GT. Better keep it and spend the saved money for the next Plaid :)
