New Taycan Turbo ‘GT4 RS’ is Fast Lap Monster

Like most of us, Porsche cannot have been received on his Nurburgring record, whereby the Taycan Turbo GT is surpassed. After all, in 2023 – 7: 07.55 it had recorded a new EV -Executive car record in case you had forgotten it – that was more than 25 seconds faster than the old fastest time. His own old fastest time, in fact, a 7: 33.35 set by a standard turbo S. The glove was emphatically thrown down, and it would be for years, for sure, before someone took it up.

In the end it was little more than 18 months. You might remember that in April the Chinese firm Xiaomi somewhere BTCC Racer Vincent Radermecker in an SU7 Ultra with track package looked around; The time set was then 7: 04.957, who officially defeated Porsche’s lap record – and went faster than a Rimac Nevera in the process. Now of course there is no way in which this could be in Stuttgart; Porsche currently has the Nurburgring Production Car Records for executive cars (Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, 7: 24.172), Sports Cars (a Manthey GT2 RS, 6: 43.300) and adapted vehicles with another Manthey 911. The EV accolade a bit a bit with a bit of a bit with a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit with a bit of a bit with a bit of a bit with a bit of a bit of a bit of a little grocue-grass grocated groceral grocated grocated-grocated-grocated grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grocated-grarts RCoke-Porsche with RCoke-Graade Tooorscan Porsche With Reclay with Reclay Toscan Porsche Want Taycan Porsche Want Taycan Porsche Want Taycan Porsche with RCoke-Graade Torscan Porsche Wet they can worry that people actually buy each other.

Our espionage sources call this car a Taycan Turbo GT4 RS, which will still send those people upset about an EV with a turbo badge in an absolute meltdown. It certainly looks as extreme as you would expect for a car that bears that name that name, with gigantic end plates on a surfing plank-like rear wing, carbon forecasts and flics as if it is a WEC spec 911, plus a diffuser that could have come from a 963 (as the current regulations made something so extreme). Not to mention the tackled arches and splitter that held in the grid as a correct Nurburgring track hack. A turbo GT is extreme; This thing is incredibly borderline.

But it certainly exists, and Porsche is absolutely serious about his Nurburgring Glory Streak. View the brake discs that for one thing -glowing lava -hot, which will take a serious legwork to build. But there is also the fact that two Superuper Taycans were seen at the Nurburgring, as well as Lars Kern – the man usually trusts Porsche’s record. They all try so hard, even that the diffuser of the gray car is apparently damaged on a hot round, which certainly plunges any idea to bed that it was sustainability tests or something like that. Porsche is on a mission and chose an evening that is perfect for fast laps for his attempt. Apparently the purple car became undamaged and faster …

Given our spy -snapper – a guy who was very used to seeing things passing by – this car called a “rocket”, and considering how well a turbo GT manages his phenomenal power, we expect even more horsepower from whatever this Taycan becomes. As a reminder, the existing model delivers a 1,108 hp system peak for two seconds, 1,034 hp in launch control and 952 hp in attack mode. The Xiaomi is 1,548 hp strong and, well, if you can’t beat them, you better join them.

There will clearly be more to follow, actually. Could this be the first Porsche EV who dived less than seven minutes? There can certainly not be long in this calendar year for favorable job conditions. A record on this side of winter would allow Porsche at least a few months of top dog status. And Xiaomi could spend the time getting the SU7 ultra prototype – you know, those who did 6: 22,091 earlier this year – somewhere closer to the production specification. Should be a nice period for those of ours who are partial for a Nordschleife on board …
