The secret weapon is behind the steering wheel....Lars Kern. Immer wieder ein pures Vergnügen ihn fahren zu sehen. Allerhöchsten Respekt
Bro I thought the german was his full name for a second
Yes absolutely, the Driver was super smooth with steering around the track.. Porsche MADE IN GERMANY
Nope! Though Kern and Porsche do deserve some credit, the real secret ingredient is Mate Rimac out of Croatia. It’s his patents which Porsche has access to via VW which owns part of Rimac is what’s behind what the Taycan can do. VW didn’t gift Bugatti to Mate Rimac for no reason.
@@alcrt6630 And when the Taycan won the drag race in 2019 over the Tesla Model S Ludicrous, which had +64HP +250Nm and was lighter... So whose patents were those, Mr. Engineer?
(hint : 1. Mr.Bean, 2. Bumblebee 3. Slipknot)
Lars Kern & Porsche, perfect kombination
Without the engine sound the tire noise sounds like they are being tortured. Love it.
It sounds like crap to be fair. ICE for me.
@@AlfDagg Don't get me wrong. I thought it was great to hear the squeals because it shows what happens to them. I have no plans to buy an electric vehicle. I love the sounds my car makes.
The poor, poor tyres…
@@AlfDagg no one asked
They are also screaming so much because of the ridiculous weight.
Porsche's cars are so amazing that, by just tweaking them little bit here and there they are able to make such a difference on the track in the lap times... insane... same with 991 GT2 RS MR, 992 GT3 and now This...
They could do that in the factory but they won't. They want you to pay pay pay!
@@AlfDagg True.. 😂😂
Yeah, but the question is, if they are still production cars after tweaks
@@VVojtas10 As per the Nürburgring officials, it's a resounding yes.
@@AlfDagg Wrong. Track alignment doesn't work well on street, and vs. vs. That's primarily the change that Porsche "tweaks" from their standard cars for the records. It's right in the manual as required settings for track use with my 911 Turbo S.
Porsche beats the competition even with less horse power once again. That's because it's all about acceleration on a boring straight line for some not understanding that the real fun is driving fast through corners. First electric Porsche production car build especially for race tracks will be insane. Taycan is pretty much a "calm" Porsche after all.
Yeah, check out a track focused electric Cayman concept they put together with 900+ HP. Search for "Chris Harris GT4 ePerformance"
Almost 50 years ago I had a little 914. On the straightaways, I lost out to anyone who had more horsepower. Once we hit the curves, it was a completely different story and no one could keep up.
@@BatDimen it’s a 1073 hp weapon.
With less HP but with 80 wear tires vs 300 wear tires

Fantastic results from Porsche! Such an awesome car and an impressive lap time.
Along with the car we must give some credit to the driver. Lars Kern is setting record after record after record.
Incredible that just some setup changes and a bit more acceleration is enough to beat a car that has significantly better power to weight ratio. On tyres that are similar in class too since P Zero Corsas can pretty much just rival PS4S and not Cup 2
Exactly the plaid has a superior power to weight and this happens
@@ericship8383 thats because its just a Tesla lol
The sound of the tires and the view out the windshield is pure violence. Driver is sooooo calm.
I can feel the weight just watching the video, imagine actual driving it on track!
the driver had to go on the brakes early, yeah. amazing how that still yields are good time, just because there's no shifting involved and stuff
Wow.. I just wanted to write the same thing. Every little correction on the streering wheel makes the car tilt directly because of its inertia. Somewhat scary. Was looking directly for the technical data and it weights 2125-2395 kg!
I think you need lots of experience to ride such a car in such conditions. Much respect to the driver and to porsche.
200 kg more than Plaid which is a roomier car. Porsche didn't even try.
A modified Tesla (brakes, mostly) or heel itself a lot.
It's one fast whale, that's for sure.
@@Cloxxki Porsche didn't even try, yet smoked the way more powerful and lighter Tesla on the Ring. That says it all.
Super smooth drive, managed the weight perfectly and used coasting to his advantage. Harder to pull off than a race car lap I imagine. Congratulations
Knowing that Porsche is now leading the standard for performance EV and performance hybrid cars, I would love to see what they could do in Formula 1. Either as a team or PU supplier.
They are currently trying to buy a 50% stake in Red Bull Technologies Group. And are looking to join F1 in 2026 when the new engine regs start!

Porsche continues with the best ! CAR AND DRIVER !
Gentlemen, what you are witnessing is a culmination of over 80 years of pedigreed racing heritage, coupled with an automobile manufacturer's supreme ability at martialling it's human technical and engineering resources in record time to create a car that less than ten years ago was all but impossible to bring to market. I think there's another word that describes the phenomena: passion. And it's passion that has helped to keep Porsche ahead of some of the most aggressive and talented competition in the industry. Congrats to Porsche AG!
Of course, I certainly doesn't hurt that Lars Kern was behind the wheel; someone who knows the ring better than I know my own driveway...
Culmination of over 80 years didn’t last long… Plaid did 7:25 ;)
@@alexz8373yeah and gt3 did it with less than half the HP in 6:55 what's your point?
For context, the previous "Electric Production" recordholder - Tesla Model S Plaid - did the 20.832km stretch in 7:35.579. Congratulations to Porsche 🥳🎉
I think Porsche just started a war😂
For context, the Plaid used on Nurburgring had a top speed of 265 km/h.
Now it's 350 km/h, so the record will not last long...
@@alexz8373 The regular tesla model s plaid posted a 7:35 .. the taycan turbo s posted a 7:33 .. porsche beat the plaid when both used street tires . tesla "Track pack" cheated it had to use track tire semi slicks (GoodYear Eagle SuperCar 3Rs) that are only used for track times not for street use to beat the porsche taycan,panamera turbo s, m5cs,m3cs, and some other 4 door sedans that all used STREET TIRES. The tesla plaid has 1,000hp and the other cars i named have 400hp less then the plaid. Yet when they all used street tires those cars beat it. The semi slicks on the track pack plaid alone shaves off 10-15 sec. The track pack then posted a 7:25
Think how embarrassing that is that a car with 1000hp couldn't beat a 400hp less taycan. BMW/Porsche design and handling is on another planet.
Great driving, you can tell the Taycan is nose heavy with lots of understeer especially on corner entry, the driver matches that with awesome braking application.
Porsche is amazing, it looks so easy for the taycan to do a lap this fast compared to others EV with +300hp.
Just fantastic! I drive since 35 Years Porsche.. its a Passion
Unglaubliche Leistung von Fahrer sowie Auto! Gratuliere Porsche herzlich für diesen Sieg!
Wow so even with 750 hp and weighing 5,100 lbs it beats the plaid with 1200 hp and weighing 4,750 lbs lmaooo
750 is only during launch mode, I think it's 625hp or something.

@@andresantel2137 of course! 👍👍
For those who don't like it being so silent, I would love to see straight -cut gears! giving her a more lightweight and more robust design.
Making it a more lightweight and stronger 2-speed gearbox and that would make her scream!
Make her sound like a Muncie M-22 Rock Crusher with 2 : 22 cuts please!
Generating acoustic noise is wasting energy. Quieter gear sets are faster. I don't buy a car for the sound it makes, it's how it drives, how it performs. And I for one am not a fan of loud exhausts.
@@Turboy65 why do race cars exclusively use loud straight cut gears then if normal gears are faster ?
@@leroloralarlora Strength.
@@leroloralarlora straight cut gears are more durable and therefore can handle a lot more power while being lighter.
What happens if you combine one of the best drivers with German engineering?
The answer is this video
Didn’t aged well….
This video shows exactly why I still can't commit to switching over to an electric car.
It's doing a bloody rapid 7:33 around the Nordschleife and still looks and feels way too boring without all the sounds a car needs to make.
Great car and accomplishment regardless.
Corner exit acceleration is vicious
that brake modulation is insane
And I would assume its not just the record either. Tesla would fall apart after several laps but Porsche would do it over and over again as long as the battery holds up, and this would apply to lots of fancy exotic supercars with incombust engine as well. Porsche are built like tanks.
Tesla has 400hp more, less weight and was slower than this Taycan. Proves what kind of shitboxes Teslas are.
The plaid has better battery cooling which is why it can do 1000HP and taycan is 650HP, it's single speed motor also is a monster compared to the 2 speed gear box in the taycan at 17,000RPM. The plaid is built better, the taycan is built at a higher cost.
@Dante Thomas the 500HP model 3 beat the taycan on a 55km track in japan because the taycan overheated.
@@miguellopez3392 no one cares about a unknown japanese fake event lmao
@@dantethomas7964 it happened twice. Japanese EV prix 2020.
I wish they displayed a realtime battery SoC or energy consumption during the lap.
A basically stock (cage and tyre upgrade) 911 Turbo S came 2nd overall at Pikes Peak Hillclimb this year while a stripped Plaid with extra aero driven by Randy Pobst came 19th; nearly a 400HP difference (along with differences in CoG and altitudinal power loss). The Plaid even lost to a Model 3 which came in 8th; so much for power being everything!
It would be very interesting to see what a Taycan could do on the hill, both stock and prepped.
Sorry to disappoint you but you are comparing a TRACK car with a 5 door family car😂 Also don’t forget that the brakes the Plaid has are absolute trash and should not be selled on it.
@@gh0st_dem0lisherol it’s the opposite. The turbo S was completely stock, even road tires. The plaid was with full slick and with a extreme race car aero kit,… fully prepared and with 400hp more. The turbo S is still faster
@@gh0st_dem0lisher Turbo S is not a track car,lacking many features such as AERO,like a GT2 RS GT3 RS

Tesla’s solution is to always add more power. Just like the good old days of American muscle cars, quarter mile, which is a flawed way of measuring performance in a vehicle. Then a lot of the fan boys are mislead.
those tires are so grippy amazing tires!!!
Curious how much battery they used to complete this lap 🤔
I'd dare to say 90%
Not as much as my iPhone battery used watching this video
Who cares? 🤦♂
Winner for most stupid question on TH-cam 2022
50-ish percent most likely.
My best estimate is around 30 kWh.
Just had my first experience of an electric car (in GT7! ). Pretty cool
Imagine this car with even more power
The motors are capable of 1073 hp - all Porsche needs to do is allow it
3 motor model and call it the Turbo GT.
Imagine this car 500kg lighter to have the same weight as the 911 turbo, the performance difference would be huge.
@@larsjrgensen5975 Well that simply isn't going to happen
@@Rezcuz In 10 years maybe.
The Taycan itself could loose 100-200kg if it was turned into a track car with light interior, no back seats and low luxury like the other 911 track models.
cutting some range of the 500-600kg battery to save 100kg or more is also a possibility and that would change the requirement on the suspension a lot.
wow 😳 this guy is just casually taking turns at 130 .. i’m watching this in my car on my lunch break with such anxiety !! … what an amazing car, and even better driver !
the taycan is like the quiet kid
literally and bc it bet everyone out of nowhere
They really know what they’re doing huh? Love there cars hopefully I own one

It is also much lighter
@@DavidGarcia29497 of course the QV does not have a giant battery pack. But for the money the time is insane
That 7:32 was the short course. Meaning the Taycan did a 7:28 around the Short course. So it's faster than the Giulia QV, One of my fav Saloon cars lol.
@@tsorpniala9820 Yeah, in terms of price/performance ratio, the Alfa is fantastic
The Panamera did a 7:29 on the same course.
The nostalgia hit when I heard the tire squeal and the engines whine. Sounds just like Gran Turismo 3/4! Oh my. It's almost as if they took the sounds from this video. XD
Hope there were counsellors available for those tires after this, they sounded like they were being abused.
When I was younger, I used to road race my Porsche on several different race tracks near Los Angeles. The tires were always the first to be replaced. Not for wear on the rubber, but the sidewalls would not hold up and develop bubbles.
Once again, Porsche proves us they are far above any other brand, thanks to their incredible engineering. Respect. I used to own a Porsche and I still miss it ;)

Porsche record: "Tesla? What is it?"
This is a Taycan with a ( performance kit ). With Pirelli P Zero Corsa sports tyres. The compound is similar to that of racing tyres. Tesla's plaid (7:35.579)was on regular street tires. If the Plaid had the same tires,,, the Plaid will be like 10 seconds even faster than the Taycan. Simply because the plaid has so much more horse power. Tycan 750hp vs Plaid 1050hp. Though i am sure the Porsche is a better handling car. Just watch, Elon will beat that record with just a change of tires and brakes.

I wish there was a way to add a gearbox or simulate a gearbox to bring the enjoyment/engagement up with these EVs. The simple act of up/down shifting gives you so much more driver engagement and increases the overall enjoyment of the experience. Imagine the fun of having a 6-8 speed gearbox with the incredible acceleration these EVs bring. I think it would go a long way for driver experience.
but add gearbox will have more weight right?🤔
Due to the broad powerband (almost maximum torque from 0 RPMs) and incredible rev range of most electric motors, there is no simply need. But, I agree. Just throttle brake and steering is pretty boring. The skill component of driving is progressively being taken out of the equation (not that paddle shifters add a great deal of challenge, but a proper H-pattern does).
Straight -cut gears! Make it sound like a Muncie M-22 Rock Crusher please!
That would make it a more lightweight 2-speed gearbox and that would make her scream!
@@blackpancake6354 Straight-cut gears in it's 2 speed gearbox would be more lightweight, and make more wonderful noise!
@@blackpancake6354 I'm curious if it could be possible to simulate a gearbox without adding much weight. Possibly through software and maybe something like haptics built into the car to create the illusion of something mechanical happening through vibrations.
I'm not an engineer, but it would be great to explore ideas like this because the feeling behind shifting brings so much fun to the experience for me. I understand EVs are the future, but doing something to preserve that visceral part of driving a traditional vehicle would go a long way.
A porsche is a porsche. Period.

Will you then also reply with "that says it all".
The top of the line Taycan is much, much more expensive than the Models. The models also does not have carbon brakes etc etc.
It's not meant as a sportscar.
Porsche always has driving dynamics in their mind while building a car, at a cost ofcourse.
Tesla is building the roadster, it will eat the Taycan for lunch. Does that mean the Taycan is bad? No. They are all great cars that some lucky few can afford.
It's meaningless to discuss or to say; that one is bad because the other was 2 seconds (over 7 minutes) faster.
It's stupid.
Porsche, there is no substitute.
Make that artificial engine sound louder pls.
Straight -cut gears please!
Make it sound like a Muncie M-22 Rock Crusher please!
Imagine the g-force pulled on the 1st turn while going 45-50mph!
It's Ludacris they call this the Turbo S b**** there ain't no turbo on this car
Marketing wanks have been diluting actual performance cars ever since infiniti came into existence.
There ain't no turbo on old computers or my leaf blower either, but they still have turbo buttons
That thing is fast
Screeching annoying
Get a GT3 then. No screeching there just naturally aspirated music
Troll! You won't have any screeching on the way to your Family Dollar Store
@@UncleFjester Probably screeching from the wife and kids! haha!
Needs better tires.
Records have to be set on production rubber. Track tires would do better and stay quiet
Shots fired at Tesla and Lucid. What's their response? * crickets *
Lol took a whole year to beat a sedan by 3 seconds for just the first lap. Porsche's a fossil waiting to be buried.
@@thecracktbff9343 with 150 kg more weight and 260 hp less than the plaid so what do you think a lighter 1000 hp taycan would do
@@thecracktbff9343 good lord I haven't heard something so wrong lmao. They're probably more focused on taking back the overall production car lap time.
What actual chassis development does. Good brakes, cornering abilities, weight balance and suspension setup means even a few hundred HP shy of a plaid, it's still faster around a circuit. Brilliant!
No its not. Plaid was tested with steel brakes, no track mode and limited to 160mph. It would beat it just with addition of track mode but now it has some of the best cc brakes in the industry, f1 tires and correct tuning for suspension, traction
Er
Now plaid has that and got a 7:25.
