Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Sets New Electric Lap Records Road Atlanta, Abu Dhabi

The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT has set new lap records for series-production electric vehicles at both Road Atlanta in Georgia and the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. At Road Atlanta, professional race car driver Patrick Long completed a lap in 1:27.1 minutes, surpassing the previous Taycan Turbo S record by over six seconds despite challenging weather conditions. Meanwhile, UAE-based GT race driver Ramez Azzam set a lap time of 2:07.2 minutes at Yas Marina, officially recognized by the Emirates Motorsport Association as the fastest production BEV lap there. The Taycan Turbo GT's performance benefits from advanced features like the Weissach package, Porsche Active Ride suspension, and tires specially developed for this model. These records add to a series of recent track achievements worldwide, further establishing the Taycan Turbo GT as the most powerful and agile production Porsche ever made. Notably, the Taycan Turbo GT's lap time at Road Atlanta is remarkably close to the overall production record held by the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, underscoring its exceptional speed for an electric vehicle.
