With Lars Kern, Porsche’s development driver, behind the wheel, a pre-production prototype of the electric model managed to improve the previous best time set by Porsche at Nürburgring by 26 seconds in August 2022 with a Taycan Turbo S Sport equipped with a Performance kit, as well as improve the time established by the Tesla Model S Plaid by 17 seconds.
