新款保时捷 Taycan 刷新纽北电车记录，超越特斯拉Model S Plaid

IT Home reported on January 3 that Porsche officially announced that driver Lars Kern drove a pre-production new Taycan model to a lap time of 7:07.55 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, 18 seconds faster than the previous electric car champion Tesla Model S Plaid, and only 2.25 seconds behind Rimac Nevera (7:05.298).

This is 26 seconds faster than the previous record he set in a Taycan Turbo S Sport, compared to the previous record of 7:25.231 set by the Tesla Model S Plaid, which the Porsche opened by a full 17.681 seconds.

Porsche officials have not yet revealed any information about the parameters of the new model, and have not even confirmed the name of the car.

Kevin Giek, head of the model series, said, "In motorsport, 26 seconds is basically the equivalent of 'half a lifetime'. Lars' time of 7:07.55 on the New North circuit is staggering, putting the Taycan on the same level as the electric supercar", "Impressively, after a few laps, Lars ran almost the exact same time. ”

Porsche said that the lap running video will be released in mid-March, which may mean that more information about the new car will be released at that time, or a new Taycan model will be released directly, and foreign media predict that the new car will be named Turbo GT, and IT Home will bring you a detailed report at that time.

Porsche's current top-of-the-line Taycan Turbo S delivers 750 hp and accelerates from zero to 100 in just 2.6 seconds. According to foreign media, the Taycan Turbo GT will use a three-motor configuration with an output of up to 1,000 horsepower (746 kW / 1,014 PS), which is close to the 1,020 horsepower (761 kW / 1,034 PS) of the Tesla Model S Plaid. In addition, the new model will feature an improved chassis and new aerodynamic elements, such as a carbon fiber spoiler.
