But, can it beat KIA GT whatever, or we are still waiting to cross the line?
Porsche Taycan Nurburgring Lap Record
- Thread starter Vercingetorix
- Start date
Im betting if they ever run it for real, the EV6 GT is a mid 7s car. 7:35-7:45. The real question is...have you changed the brake fluid in that old fossil lately or would you even pass a tech sheet checkoff?
I grew up with the Viper on my wall, and put a new Z06 in my garage as a college graduation gift. Cars absolutely inspired me.

Porsche makes lots of hybrids and has for like 10 or 15 years now. The 10 year old 918 runs sub 7 minute Nurburgring times.
And the Panamera and Cayenne hybrid production vehicles. You are correct.

Probably it cannot deliver 100% power throughout whole lap. Otherwise, it would pop out somewhere and KIA would advertise all over the place.
This. If Tesla wants to compete they need to hire technical people involved with racing. They couldn't even keep the brakes from catching fire on the plaid models.
I am becoming more and more convinced it can’t do a full lap.
I saw the 919 race twice in Austin. The acceleration compared to a Porsche GTLM car was beyond belief. The greatest part was knowing that it could keep doing it for 24 hrs.

7:07 is an exceptionally respectable "fast" time. Even so, it is way off what top level dedicated race cars will do.
A Porsche like this did 6:11 (not lost on me that it's another Porsche... )

Silly question maybe, but what percentage of ev drivers are going to actually track their cars?
And if they did, are good enough drivers to get the full potential from it?
Many people I see out and about cannot parallel park, keep it between the lines, or even smoothly stop for a red light.

Fair enough, but you can ask that question about any vehicle. Things learned from the track can make for better cars, but track cars or track prepared cars are not street cars.
For example I have Michelin Pilot Sport 4S rubber ($1600 all in) on our GS350 F Sport; they are great dry pavement tires but not so great in the rain, and certainly not gonna last 50K.
Not a silly question, by the way. This formidable Taycan will be owned by a very few really fortunate people and those cars will likely never see a track nor will they ever be pushed to their incredible limits.

if you read a couple of car aggregator sites, the comments section is pure copium comedy.
FOR EXAMPLE: So Porsche has finally beaten the plaid by a vehicle that costs twice as much, and everyone cares why?
Hahah, i feel like rennlist exs are now team tesla.

I think it depends. I haven't pushed many EVs, but they tend to cut power when really pushed. Heck the traction control is too intrusive on the GTI when it's supposedly off. It's made itself much more known with the stage 1 tune. I'll be taking care of that next week. I've yet to have the GTI on track, it's been years since I did that, but I wouldn't bother until I get that taken care of. I can't fully disengage ECS and that won't allow the car to really rotate if I got the back end loose.
I've been to racing school and spent a lot of time performance driving, but most of that was more than 10 years ago now. I'd like to see what the Model 3 Performance is actually like in track mode. I can feel even in the RWD that it's got good balance and steering but even with the the traction control pulled back it does much the same the GTI does, steps in if it gets really out of sorts. Once the Model 3 even locked up the brakes and would not allow me to resume movement until it came near a complete stop. That's not what I want to see. I don't like it when a car cuts power, but locking up the brakes because I got full sideways is nuts.
