The Taycan Turbo GT has set its fourth EV record, this time at Interlagos

Wherever the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT goes, the EV records seem to... flow. This time Porsche aimed the not-a-real-Turbo's considerable electrons at Brazil’s Interlagos circuit and managed a 1m 42.1s lap - making it the fastest EV around the track and almost eight seconds faster than the Taycan Turbo S in just 2.6 miles of tarmac. What on earth are in those electrons?

Describing his record-breaking lap, three-time IMSA champion Felipe Nasr said: “On the uphill climb before Curva do Café, just before the main straight, I used Attack Mode and the car reached 169mph by the end of the corner. On the exit of Curva do Sol, I was already reaching more than 124mph coming onto the back straight. It's amazing how brutally the car accelerates and delivers its power.”

Brutally it must, considering this is the fourth such electric car record set by the GT. The first came early last year when it smashed the Tesla Model S Plaid’s Nürburgring attempt by *eighteen* seconds. It was then ushered off to Laguna Seca and the Shanghai International Circuit to… enjoy the weather, probably. And then get around both tracks really rather quite fast when it had a moment to spare.

Such pace is made possible by the dual-motor setup, which peaks at 1,020bhp and 915lb ft when the ‘Overboost’ mode is active. With the Weissach aero package equipped, this thing gets from 0-62mph in just 2.1s and will keep going right up to 190mph. Brutal indeed.

Which track record do you reckon Porsche is going for next?
