On Wednesday, January 3, 2024, a new Porsche Taycan model set a remarkable record at the Nurburgring, solidifying its position as one of the fastest electric vehicles on the market. The new Taycan completed a lap in an astonishing 7:07.55, just ten seconds shy of the record set by the 918 Spyder, and within a fraction of the Rimac Nevera’s time, making it the fastest production EV ever.

This achievement marks a significant leap forward for Porsche, showcasing their expertise in creating high-performance road cars. The new Taycan model has outperformed its predecessor, the Turbo S with performance pack, by a staggering 26 seconds, demonstrating its exceptional speed and agility on the track.

While specific details about the new Taycan model are currently limited, it is described as a ‘pre-series’ vehicle, hinting at its future production potential. The car features a distinctive body kit with a more aggressive rear spoiler and front splitter, enhancing its high-speed stability, which proved to be advantageous during the record-breaking lap.

Although the exact power output of the new Taycan model has not been disclosed, its impressive performance on the track suggests a significant increase in potency compared to the standard Turbo S. Kevin Giek, head of the Taycan model line, emphasized the significance of the Taycan’s lap time, comparing it to electric hypercars and highlighting its exceptional capabilities in the realm of motorsport.

Despite the lack of available footage of the record-setting lap, a video is expected to be released in mid-March, providing enthusiasts with a closer look at the remarkable feat achieved by the new Taycan model. This anticipated release is likely to offer further insights into the exceptional capabilities and features of this groundbreaking vehicle.
