Just about everyone knows weight is the enemy of performance, and with the Taycan being quite the porker, you\u2019d be tempted to say it struggles on a race track. Porsche is proving that even an electric car that weighs 2,295 kilograms (5,095 pounds) can excel in a high-speed run on a circuit. Using the range-topping Turbo S, the folks from Zuffenhausen established a new record at Road Atlanta for the fastest production EV.<\/p>\n

To be fair, this is the first time we\u2019re hearing about an electric vehicle lapping the track in Georgia with the main goal being to set a lap time. In other words, the Taycan Turbo S didn\u2019t break a previous record, but it rather set the benchmark for EVs on the 2.54-mile course with its 12 turns located in the vicinity of the Porsche Cars North America headquarters.<\/p>\n

It completed the lap in 1 minute and 33.8 seconds with professional race car driver Leh Keen behind the wheel of the 751-horsepower EV. It will be interesting to see whether the Model S equipped with the Cheetah mode will be able to best Porsche\u2019s performance, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see whether Tesla will take a crack at setting a new record.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Porsche wishes to point out the Taycan used for the fast lap was a production-spec 2020 Turbo S with the 21-inch Mission E wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero NF0 Elect summer tires inflated to a 41 PSI pressure. The record was actually set on November 3, but it\u2019s only now the German sports car marque is sharing the news. The car used for the lap had a Racelogic data logger and video system to grab all the relevant info and capture the impressive onboard footage.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond its sheer power, the Taycan Turbo S has a few other aces up its sleeve to establish a fast lap. From rear-wheel steering to the optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport, the speedy EV cuts through the corners in the quickest way possible, especially if it\u2019s in the hands of a skilled driver like Leh Keen. He says the \u201ctrack is unforgiving,\u201d but all of the Taycan\u2019s systems to reduce body roll when cornering worked brilliantly during the fast lap attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Now, how about a Nurburgring run?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just about everyone knows weight is the enemy of performance, and with the Taycan being quite the porker, you\u2019d be tempted to say it struggles on a race track.
