Porsche has taken a performance prototype of a pre-series Taycan electric sports sedan to the Nürburgring racetrack in Germany, where it shaved a monstrous 26 seconds off the lap time of a previous visitor, a Taycan Turbo S Sport.

The upcoming performance variant is widely expected to wear Turbo GT badging, and the prototype that recently zipped around the 20.8-km Nordschleife loop has recorded an official lap time of 7:07:55.

That's just a couple of seconds short of snatching last year's astonishing record set by the Rimac Nevera, but 18 seconds quicker than a Tesla Model S Plaid and some 26 seconds faster than the Taycan Turbo S Sport's effort in August 2022 – which had the same driver at the wheel, Lars Kern.

Record-hungry Rimac sets fastest production EV lap at the Nurburgring

After breaking 23 production car records in a single day back in May, the Rimac Nevera has now taken on the fabled Nurburgring Nordschliefe track in Germany, and comes away as the fastest electric production car the 'ring has ever seen.
