Porsche Taycan Turbo S Tops Tesla Model S Plaid Nurburgring Record

According to an official press release from Porsche, the Taycan electric car has redeemed itself at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. As you may remember, the Taycan Turbo set a record on the famous track back in 2019. Lars Kern was behind that wheel when the pre-production Porsche EV lapped the Green Hell in just 7 minutes and 42 seconds. 

The Tesla Model S Plaid has been one of the Porsche Taycan's primary rivals when it comes to electric car acceleration and setting records. In 2021, the Model S Plaid tore around the 'Ring in 7 minutes and 35 seconds. Fast-forward to the present, and a Taycan Turbo S has pulled it off more quickly.
