That curious new Porsche Taycan with a wing you’ve been seeing zipping around the Nürburgring in 7:07.55 has a name – it’s the new Taycan Turbo GT.
Basically, it’s a range-topper above the Turbo S aiming to make life awkward for the Tesla Model S Plaid and Lucid Air Sapphire. It’s now been revealed in full, and it’s super fast. Even if you drive a Plaid.
It produces 1,108bhp, will go from 0–62mph in 2.3 seconds and it’s just been hurled around the Laguna Seca raceway in 1:27.8. That’s five seconds faster than the previous electric lap record (held by the Model S). It’s barely half a second slower than a McLaren Senna around the fearsome Californian track.
