Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Claims the Throne at Interlagos

When Porsche sets out to break a record, it doesn’t merely scrape past the finish line—it storms in like a wild stallion breaking free, mane flowing, leaving everything in its wake. And that’s precisely what the Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach package and Pirelli Trofeo RS tires did, obliterating the Interlagos lap record for electric cars with a blistering 1:42.1. Not just a couple of seconds quicker than the previous Taycan, but a jaw-dropping eight seconds faster. And perhaps even more astonishing—it outran the 911 Turbo S.

Felipe Nasr, the man behind the wheel, was equally stunned: "I expected strong acceleration and torque, but this car just locked onto the track and took off like a rocket." Razor-sharp steering, impeccable balance, unshakable stability under braking—this isn’t just an EV, it’s a purebred race machine.

And this is far from Taycan’s only conquest. Nürburgring? Conquered—7:07.55, a full 26 seconds quicker than its predecessor. Laguna Seca? Dominated. Ice drift? Absolutely—Taycan slid 10.87 miles sideways because, well, why not?

Porsche’s message is crystal clear: electric cars are no longer just harmless playthings for eco-warriors. They’re faster, wilder, and yes, they can even give the 911 a run for its money. If the future is electric, Porsche intends to get there first—and at breakneck speed.
