The electric vehicle performance wars are on, with Tesla and Porsche duking it out.
An EV Nürburgring lap record battle is under way, as Tesla just broke Porsche's previous Taycan Turbo S lap record by 8 seconds.
Using a track-pack equipped Model S Plaid, German Formula 3 driver Tom Schwister managed to wrangle the 200-mph sedan to a 7-minute, 25-second lap. It's not immediately clear what tires the Model S ran on, though the "production" aspect of 'Ring lap times has been questioned for some time now., the one with carbon-ceramic brakes and lightweight wheels? It was a slightly confusing option when released, as Tesla's Model S Plaid is a straight-line speed beast but not anyone's first choice for a track day special.
