Turbo with turbo and turbo without turbo
There are various videos competing for cars from various manufacturers, but this time I saw a drag race with a different model made by the same manufacturer Porsche, competing for a speed of 1/4 mile (about 400 m). something like.
What model of Porsche was competing is the following two:
- Taycan Turbo S
- Porsche 911 Turbo S (992)
This looks interesting! !!
Taycan Turbo S. It's powerful.
And, after all, the feature of this Taycan Turbo S is that it is not a turbo (laugh).
Yes, it's not a turbo! !! Because an electric car ... But turbo.
Good, Taycan can be turbo!That's it! !!
This is the 992 type Porsche 911 Turbo S.
This is a genuine, turbocharged, horizontally compatible 6-cylinder gasoline engine.
It's a turbo. Really.
By the way, this drag race that makes this "really turbo" 911 and "really not turbo" Taycan Turbo S compete.
I'm looking forward to the result.
After all, I already know that the 911 Turbo S is fast, but the Taycan has done so many times.I was watching a video of tremendous acceleration..
Comparison of Porsche 911 Turbo S and Taycan Turbo S specs
First of all, from the spec comparison.
Porsche 911 Turbo S has 650 horsepower.
The torque is 800Nm.
The weight of the car is 1,650 kg.
In comparison, the horsepower of the Taycan Turbo S is 761 horsepower.
Furthermore, the amazing torque of 1,050 Nm. Is this Taycan an overwhelming victory? Because it's too different.
However, it is.
Taycan is a fully electric vehicle. With a lot of heavy batteries, the weight of the car is also a threat of 2,300 kg. heavy! !! !!
The price is 139,000 pounds / about 18.7 million yen (Taycan Turbo S) and 154,000 bonds / 20.72 million yen (911 Turbo S), which is a little higher for 911.
It's time to start the drag race.
I'm surprised.
In a blink of an eye, 911 comes out in front.
I will keep pulling the Taycan apart.
Those who are driving the 911 are already very excited (laughs). "What, this car !!"
No, even if I really look at it, it feels like "What, that car !!!"
No, Taycan is also amazing. But 911 is amazing.
The result of the 1/4 mile drag race is 10.2 seconds for the Porsche 911 Turbo S.
And although it seemed that there was a big difference, the Taycan Turbo S was actually 10.3 seconds.
When I look at it, it looks like there is a huge difference, but the difference is only 0.1 seconds when viewed numerically. I really understand the difference of 0.1 seconds in the racing world.
By the way, the record when the Tesla Model S ran 1/4 mile as well ...
10.4 seconds, which was 0.1 seconds slower than the Taycan Turbo S.
Porsche 911 is amazing ~.
If I looked at the Taycan Turbo S alone, I thought it was too amazing, but when I compare it like this, I can see the amazingness of the 911 Turbo S even more.
I really want to try it someday, such as continuing to step on the Porsche 911 at full throttle without worrying about such 1/4 mile. Absolutely amazing. I'll do it someday! !! !! (Where ^^?)

The other day, at Porsche NOW Tokyo, Porsche Japan said, "In the case of a rolling start, the Taycan turbo is faster", so for your reference ^ ^
