The Tesla Model S Plaid's 7:35 production EV lap time record from last year has fallen.
last year. Now, Porsche has taken the record back with key upgrades to its Taycan.
When Tesla's Plaid, equipped with the controversial yoke steering wheel, posted an impressive time of 7:35:579, beating Porsche and taking over the record for a production EV at the track, Porsche took notice. Now the Plaid's reign is over, as Porsche says its Taycan Turbo S equipped with a"Tequipment" performance package has set a new record time of 7:33:350, nearly two seconds quicker than the Tesla, a"rekordfahrt" in German.
If you're wondering where Porsche found a few more seconds in its Taycan Turbo S lap time, you can thank the German-market performance package equipped on the car this time, along with the equipped Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control system.The only"modifications" made to the car were a roll cage and special racing seats, which are required by the 'Ring if you want to set a time.
The new 'Ring record should help sell the performance kit by Porsche Tequipment. It includes 21-inch RS Spyder wheels wrapped with racing compound Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, as well as a software update that tunes the car's chassis systems to take full advantage of the stickier rubber. The package is only available in Germany, and will only be available at the end of this year.
With Tesla and Porsche only two seconds apart, will another EV manufacturer come along to set a new production record and beat them both? Lucid?
