MotorTrend Declares Taycan Turbo S To Be The Fastest EV EVER Tested

According to MotorTrend (MT), the all-electric all-wheel-drive 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S beats all previously tested battery-electric cars in the quarter-mile by .04 seconds. It holds the new time and speed records for the publication, at least in terms of fully electric vehicles based on MT testing.

The car enthusiast magazine states, the "previous battery-electric vehicle (BEV) record holder was the Tesla Model S P100D (aka "Plood") Ludicrous+ with its 10.51-second pass at 125.0 mph." However, the tested Taycan Turbo S went "a significant 5.7 mph faster with a 10.47-second, 130.7-mph pass."

Imagine how fast these vehicles will be when batteries weight HALF as much as they do today. Or if supercapacitors become a viable choice. The future is very bright indeed.

I like 99% of the design, but I can't get the visual of the headlights looking like Apple Air Pods. Or a prisoner's teardrop tattoo under the eye.

.04 seconds, that is pretty damn close. They should have done the test 10 times and averages the results or taken the best run. Ball is in Teslas court now to step it up and release the Plaid Model S as soon as possible. Porsche is already working on next gen EV tech, so it will be an interesting battle for years to come.
