Taycan 4568lbs
model 3 Perf. 4250.
Track cars do better the lighter they are.
makes sense the model 3 would do better then the other two.

But if the Taycan overheats and slows down how would it be able to beat the EV record on one of the longest tracks? That article is the first time I have heard of the Taycan overheating like that tooTaycan is great for Nurburgring, but any further than that and it overheats and slows WAY down. In the end, Model 3 is faster in longer races
Tesla Model 3 is undefeated vs the Porsche Taycan Turbo S in Japan's EV Grand Prix
Back when the Porsche Taycan was unveiled, Elon Musk remarked that the Tesla Model 3 Performance would probably win against the German all-electric sports car in an extended race. The CEO’s statement was bold, and it attracted its own fair share of skepticism. Porsche, after all, has tuned the...www.teslarati.com
I don't know- I am no expert, and I am just repeating what the quoted article said.But if the Taycan overheats and slows down how would it be able to beat the EV record on one of the longest tracks? That article is the first time I have heard of the Taycan overheating like that too
Model 3 and Plaid definitely beat the Taycan in total range, and Plaid beats Taycan in any straight line drag race. That said, if I was racing around a mountain course, I would much rather be in an Taycan Turbo S that a Model S Plaid. Going 20-120-20mph around a mountain course I would be shitting my pants in a Plaid thinking at which point the brakes are going to disintegrate and I am going to off a cliff. I wish someone would put a Taycan Turbo S vs. Plaid on a course doing 0-120-0 over and over and see what happens. I also strongly suspect Taycan Turbo S will corner much better than a Plaid.I don't know- I am no expert, and I am just repeating what the quoted article said.
They seem to think the Taycan can JUST do the length of Nurburgring, but not much more, they seem to imply that the car was tuned to be able to give a great NBR time but that was it ie TWO Nurburgring laps at full power wouldn't be possible. I don't know.

I can’t find which trim model was raced at the Nurburgring. Every article I read just says Porsche Taycan. Not Turbo S. The range of Taycan weights is vast going all the way up to the porky 5101lbs. Sheezs.The Taycan Turbo S curb weight is 5101lbs
It was the turbo, not the turbo S. Don’t think it makes much of a difference thoughI can’t find which trim model was raced at the Nurburgring. Every article I read just says Porsche Taycan. Not Turbo S. The range of Taycan weights is vast going all the way up to the porky 5101lbs. Sheezs.
"unmodified, directly from the factory". Hmm, which factory puts this instrument cluster in the Plaid and the kill switch by the mirror?
"unmodified, directly from the factory".
Another interesting question, which speedometer is right? Is Tesla IC showing "EV speed", which is somehow special and not equal to actual physics defined speed (like Tesla's explanation how P85D was a 700hp car, because EV horse-power is different/special). Or is this famous Tesla production quality - speed calibration off by 11km/h is "normal".
Hey dude, assuming you're the same Darth from forums?

Plaid
Is the German Plaid different from USA Plaid? What do these buttons do in the German version?
Oh wait! You mean special order from the factory, one which only Elon can order edition?
