Nürburgring lap timelist: Porsche Taycan records 7:42

Taycan sets the fastest Nürburgring record with a 4-door electric vehicle (EV)

On August 26, 2019, it was announced that Porsche's electric vehicle Taycan set a time of "7:42" on the north course of the Nürburgring.

This time, the test driver who set the record in this Nürburgring is Mr. Lars Kern.

After running Taycan at the Nürburgring, he

"The Taycan proved to be suitable for racetracks at the Nürburgring. I was impressed with how stable the all-electric sports car could be in the high-speed section."

I am saying.

How fast is 7:42 on the Nürburgring North Course?

By the way, this lap time of 7 minutes 42 seconds.

As I was suddenly told, "Wow, it's amazing! It's about the lap time that the car in that area puts out!" In the state, I do not understand very well.

With this kind of feeling, I wanted to think "Taycan is amazing!", But I was frustrated because I could not understand the speed from the information content alone (I was frustrated by that (laugh)) ), For the time being, I looked at the fastest lap time list on the Nürburgring North Course as of August 2019.

Nürburgring North Course Fastest Lap Time List (August 2019)

Below is a lap time list for production cars (cars that can run on public roads).

Since the Taycan is 7:42, I have listed from the time of 6: 44.97 seconds, which is the record of the Lamborghini Aventador LP770-4 SVJ, which is the fastest at present, to the car of 7:45 seconds.

The records issued by Porsche (* except RUF etc.) are colored in yellow (Taikan is red) ↓

Taycan driver is the person who put out the fastest Nürburgring in the past

Looking at it in this way, the driver who got the fastest Nürburgring (currently 2nd place) 6: 47.25 in the Porsche 911 GT2 RS (991.2) in 2017 was the driver of this Taycan! !! Lars Khan..

It is amazing. I think that it was because he was the one who was able to maximize the power that Taycan could have.

Finally, the Taycan information announced in this press release is as follows:

• Four-wheel drive model with two motors on the front and rear axles
• The four-wheel drive system and traction control respond faster than ever, depending on driving conditions, and if one tire slips, the electric motor instantly activates the other.
• Porsche 4D chassis control integrates all chassis systems in real time
• Equipped with rear axle steering and 21-inch tires
• For the first time in history, a vehicle equipped with an 800V system (400V is common for electric vehicles so far)
• Battery cooling and heating strategies have been developed for maximum performance
•  This system, consisting of a three-chamber air suspension and an adaptive air suspension, both include electronically controlled:
  • Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)
  • Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV)
  • Stabilizer Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport)
