Porsche Taycan Nurburgring Lap Record

Hah! I did not onow they had offroad option!
Still, None of the Taycans have lapped the ring witbout pccb, so we know it can't. Aside that, they've constantly had battery issues, which explains why they derate when the GT doesn't, maybe.

Doesn’t work that way. Fast times mean Turbo S which comes with PCCB. I’m sure plenty of 4S and others have made lap times without PCCB. The laps shown do not indicate what brakes are used. They have not constantly had battery issues, internet rumor. Do you really think if they had half the problems they are supposed to have they would still be selling them? This is my favorite.

If this was even partially true the company would be bankrupt and out of business.
Look at the source, the guy writing this crap belongs on Bitog with the rest of muskrats cronies and fanboys.
What Porsche says..
Alex Voigt is one the biggest rump swabs of all time and a bald faced liar, in his article he states..
What Porsche says..
Nope. There are no ring times for non pccb Taycans. They cant do it. Regardless, Taycan derates pretty quick. One track session of 15 minutes seems to be enough. GTs seem good to go. Great thermal management. Better than Taycan per everyone who's tested them head to head.

Coupla threads back we were opining over the death of auto sports interest.
Blah blah blah. EVs are the future. Just like smaller engines and turbos were the future. They will continue to rapidly evolve, which is why now, more than ever, I recommend people buy all out optioned cars. Resale will be terrible, and performance will be rapidly improving. For example, my ev6 GT? I bet in a few more years it will be very middle of the road im every way in its price segment. Had I bought the baser trims, it wouldn't even be competitive in its price segment.
Take the Taycans for example. Theyre having a ton of battery issues. Porsche has been an established automaker for decades, ever since Hitler championed them. Yet they cannot even seal a battery pack, it seems. You can bet these, and other faux pas, will pass. Same with the Mach Es horrible thermal management. Same with VAGs use of low rpm motors requiring a 2 speed transmission. Its all in the learning phase right now, except for Tesla, who knows how to build an EV powertrain, but is rapidly being forced to figure out how to manufacture a car that doesnt look like a cheap 90s kit.
EVs may very well be the future, but from what you stated here it sounds waiting would be prudent. After reading what you posted it reinforces why I'll be sticking with ICE. If Tesla is in fact the best, no thanks. You've right it does look like a cheap 90's kit, and the Cyber Truck, a joke on four wheels. <img src="/forums/graemlins/27.gif" alt="hide" Opinions will vary!!
Nothing to be done but wait and see.
The cyber is a shock value product, imo. So I can't knock it. The more absurd the better, for its mission, imoEVs may very well be the future, but from what you stated here it sounds waiting would be prudent.

You can wait, or not. For me, waiting was not ideal. For others, it may be best. I think it depends on priorities and use case.
And no more fooling around with finicky fuel burning engines that need all the special tuning.
It will be nice when they figure it out how to do all this with a 50 or so pound lead acid battery and not what is used now.
Then ev will shine.

Maybe with time they can figure out how to make electric motors that don't need a gear box, just direct drive, and last 500,000 miles without burning out.
Then make a pillow sized battery, under 200 lbs, with the storage capacity to drive even a large ev car 500 miles between charging, and last 500,000 miles as well.
And for the eyes of humans every where, can tesla either learn to make stuff good looking, or just shut the doors and get out of the car making business completely.

Seems people are either all for or all against EVs. Some are just against certain CEOs... Everyone can't be right, right?
I have a bigger problem... Drive the Model 3? GS350 F Sport? Beloved TSX with the new Michelin Sport AS rubber? Maybe the 4-4-2? 427 Corvette?
Tundra for the win; gas is $3.85 for rag!!!! Yay! And no, it's not for sale.

Is Porsche battery 60,000?
All I could find is a used one for $12k, but I'm sure with a bit of digging I could find it listed in the parts catalog.
*edit* Well that's not reassuring.
*edit again* It helps if I search the right thing. Top one is if I looked at a 2023. I think they just don't have it listed for it for some reason. Here's the result of searching a 2021 Taycan Turbo S.

It was storming like a big dog on 280 South near Palo Alto. A silver blue Taycan, kinda Pontiac metallic blue engine color, went by. Never seen this color before... These cars are stunning at the right angle. Silent missile... Kinda like this:
As problems go, that's a great problem to have. That's a nice fleet that you have to pick from. I would probably pick the 4-4-2,.....at least until I had to put gas in it at your prices out there. Beautiful old cars.
