Taycan Turbo GT news?

[felixtb]

GT or which ever name it will have is coming. That’s certain. And apparently it’s an absolute monster……. 2-3 motors…? HP? Who knows. The 7.07 time was definitely NOT with the new Turbo S. the time is super close to the Nevera with close to 2000HP. The Plaid with Track pack was somewhere around 20secs back. Which had the previous record in the category. I have heard somewhere in the beginning of March but maybe feb28….. why not……

Who's gonna spend 250k+ on a Turbo GT for half a second faster acceleration, less range and massive depreciation than a Turbo?

Just correcting you that his is outdated, as it's no longer "record-breaking". A mass produced road legal Xiaomi at 1/3 of the price beat it:

I think this this was around February / March, but still it was a big leap
