Tesla has not set an official Model S Nurburgring time and that's about to change, according to Elon Musk.
As it stands the Taycan holds a lap time of 7:42, making it the “fastest four-door, all-electric sports cars.” If the Model S can beat that, it will be big news and the potential is very real. How real? Well, the Model S Performance goes 0.2 seconds faster from 0-60 and weighs 300 lbs less than the Taycan, two key performance metrics that could give it the advantage needed.
Even if the Model S Performance Nurburgring Time is actually better than the Taycan, lets not forget, its NOT a car for real enthusiasts. The Taycan is.
But maybe that will be the next step for Tesla? The new Roadster could kick that off.
