Looks like they might have a private 30-minute window on the 21st to try for a record.

Video of the Laguna Seca lap with what I assume is a similar setup:

That widebody kit looks really bad.

It looks like my cat when she’s been sneaking puppy food for a few weeks.

I particularly like how it looks like the frunk is not
completely latched
because of how large the panel gap is...

IIRC, don’t you have to schedule reserved time on the ‘ring months in advance? It is a public road, after all. I’m at the point where literally every single thing that Elon says is [

A design from seven years ago is taking on the best that the most successful sports car manufacturer can throw at it....

Panel gap is almost non-existent in the P100-DR (Render) !

It’s gonna sting if the S beats the Taycan.

I really, really want the Tesla to win. Merely because, even if I think the Taycan is brilliant, I also think it doesn’t deserve the spotlight or the hype

Maybe thats only for months of the year where the climate is more uniform across the track... a lap in late September can’t be so desirable as far as conditions go...

I’ll be amazed if it can get around the ring without going into limp mode.

Don’t get me wrong the competition is good, and Tesla going head to head with Porsche is a piece of automotive history that I’m excited to witness, but in my opinion, people are focusing on the wrong thing. Porsches goal wasn’t just to build the fastest production electric sedan around the nurburgring, but a DD’able and fully trackable electric sports sedan. So yeah the cars are competitors in a way, but I think the Taycan
will be bought by a certain demographic (as Porsche’s always have been) and the Model S beating the Taycan’s
lap time won’t mean anything to them.
I fear that Tesla will only do whats necessary to set a lap time and they wont go the extra mile to actually build a true competitor to the Taycan, effectively making this
“Model S P200T” a one-lap pony.

Let me know when either car can actually compete in the 24 hours of Nurburing

Maybe they bought a time slot off another reservation holder.

It’s a triple-motor one-off on a prototype chassis with revised suspension and wider, stickier tires. No way you will ever be able to actually
buy one in this form
. You can get a Taycan “Turbo” S off the showroom floor.

Musk said you’d be able to buy one (Plaid Chassis)
in a year, so putting that through my musk translator I read that as 2 years if you get on the waiting list immediately
. I think he’s just trying to stop certain customers from jumping ship.
Its entertaining to watch. Porsche w elcomes the challenge , and I’m certain once Tesla beats the ring time Porsche will release a Taycan GTE or a weissach package or whatever that will beat it and then Tesla will respond and so on . we’re witnessing a genesis of the new Mustang vs. Camaro.

Oh yeah, it’s great fun to watch.
Also interested to see Porsche’s response if Telsa bests their ‘Ring time.

Probably no response for awhile, the Taycan isn’t even on sale yet. They’ll probably wait for the sales and reviews
to speak for themselves. They built their car for a specific purpose and they know their customer base who really aren’
t interested in these dick swinging contests as much as other buyer demographics. Its always been that way for Porsche. “Why buy a 911 when you can buy a Corvette or GTR”, “Why buy a cayenne over a To
ureg?
”
Cause people who want a Porsche, buy a Porsche.
