Porsche’s gearing up for something big with their latest Taycan. On March 11th, they’re pulling the curtains off what they claim to be the “most dynamic Taycan ever.” Translation? It’s going to be seriously fast. Like, Nürburgring record-breaking fast.
Remember that prototype Taycan that tore through the Nordschleife in 7:07.55? Yeah, this one’s probably the real deal. It’s already shaved off a whopping 26 seconds from the Taycan Turbo S’s lap time. And get this, it’s even left the Tesla Model S Plaid in its dust by 17.6 seconds!
Now, they’re keeping most of it under wraps, but the teaser image hints at a meaner, sleeker silhouette. Plus, there’s that eye-catching big wing at the back. But you can bet there’s more to it than just looks.
Under the hood? Let’s say the Turbo S’s 938 horsepower might soon look like child’s play. We’re talking possibly over 1,000 horses stampeding beneath your feet. And if the Turbo S already hits 0 to 62 mph in 2.4 seconds, brace yourself for an even quicker ride.
So, there’s this new car from Porsche, and it’s causing quite a stir. People are calling it the Taycan Turbo GT, but Porsche hasn’t confirmed the name yet. There’s some speculation about it having a third electric motor, which would be pretty cool, right? But, hey, don’t get too excited just yet. Adding another motor might make the car even heavier, but Porsche might try to make it lighter in other ways.
Speaking of weight, the current Taycan Turbo S is not lightweight, tipping the scales at over 5,000 pounds! And with Porsche recently bumping up the prices for their cars, you can bet this new model will come with a hefty price tag. We’re talking around $250,000, similar to the Lucid Air Sapphire.
Comparing it to other electric luxury cars like the AMG EQS and the Tesla Plaid, it’s definitely on the pricier side. But hey, whether Tesla is really a luxury brand is still up for debate. So, if you’re into high-end electric rides, keep an eye out for this mystery Porsche. It’s sure to turn heads and maybe burn some rubber too.
