Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Laguna Seca Breaks the Record

Porsche is on the agenda again with its new model, Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, which is a revolution in the automobile world. This model raises the bar one step higher in electric car performance. This innovative model of Porsche managed to attract the attention of car lovers by breaking a lap record at the Laguna Seca Raceway in California. This record shows that the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT is not just a concept, but can also demonstrate assertive performance on asphalt.

Lars Kern, an experienced test driver for Porsche, was behind the wheel in this record attempt and completed the record-breaking lap in exactly 1 minute and 27.87 seconds. This period is notable for being significantly shorter than the period previously determined by the Tesla Model S Plaid. With this success, Porsche Taycan Turbo GT proves that electric cars are not only suitable for urban use, but can also show superior performance on race tracks.

Technical specifications and performance of the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT

Porsche Taycan Turbo GT draws attention with its technical features that maximize the potential of electric cars. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.1 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 305 km/h. The Weissach package further increases performance by reducing the weight of the vehicle by 71 kilograms. These features enable the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT to offer a fast and dynamic driving experience.

After this record was broken on February 23, Kern also attempted a record at the world-famous Nürburgring race track and beat the Tesla Model S Plaid’s time with a time of 7:07.55 minutes. These achievements once again demonstrate Porsche’s leadership and innovative approach in electric car technology.

Porsche Taycan Turbo GT is based on the technological features of the Turbo S model, with its 96.0kWh capacity batteries and two-speed transmission. However, this model increases engine power and torque, offering drivers 777 horsepower, and peak power output can reach 1,019 horsepower. This strong performance enables the car to offer a range of 547 kilometers according to the WLTP standard.

Porsche Taycan Turbo GT is available for order abroad as of the beginning of this week, with or without the Weissach package. This model, with a starting price of $ 231,995, stands out as an attractive option for speed and performance enthusiasts. With this model, Porsche once again reinforces its leadership in the electric car market and continues its promise of providing car lovers with unforgettable experiences on the tracks. This innovative model opens a new page in the automobile world by combining driving passion and environmentally friendly technology.
