The world’s quickest electric sedans are American, and now that Porsche has launched the 1,000+ horsepower Taycan Turbo GT, they finally have a German rival.
When Tesla revealed the 1,000+ horsepower Model S Plaid’s performance numbers, our collective jaws hit the floor. It could out-accelerate a Formula 1 car, and it was only defeated by the many times more expensive and nearly twice as powerful Rimac Nevera electric hypercar.
Track Time Tally All three manufacturers say these flagship performance models have been honed for track driving, but the two American manufacturers’ experience pales in comparison to Porsche’s decades of racing experience. That’s why it’s no surprise that the Taycan Turbo GT was able to complete a lap of the 12.9-mile Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7 minutes and 07.55 seconds, which is about 26 seconds faster than the 2022 model-year Taycan Turbo S equipped with the track pack.
