Modified Tesla Model S to beat Porsche Taycan at Nurburgring

Tesla is a busy bee at the Nordschleife in the Nurburgring, and after several rumors and videos, we have our first idea of ​​the electric sedan model S modified is.

Road & Track reported Tuesday that the stripped Model S had a time of 7:23. Note that this is not an official time and comes from well-placed sources to time the electric car with an unobstructed view of the track. It also happens that the time elapsed by the Porsche Taycan in the ring is 20 seconds faster. However, what is impressive is that this time it is during a group session.

It is at this point that all car manufacturers are free to go around the track, which leads to traffic. In the end, the hour does not reflect the full potential of the car. It is not possible to take a quick tour during a pool-sector session. If we get an official time this week, expect to be even faster than 7:23.

At the same time, the magazine's sources also described the fact that this Models is far from the kind of electric sedan that Tesla sells to buyers. According to rumors, a new powertrain with three engines (one engine for each rear wheel) and many variants on the outside are planned. They include wider tires, apparently Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport RS rubber, wing flares to help cover the extra width and a gigantic gurney flap at the rear. Massive carbon-ceramic brakes are also hidden behind the wheels.

Inside, the sources spoke of a nearly ruined sedan with only the essential functions of the driver. According to the report, a typical Tesla Model S will pamper passengers – this car does not even have additional passenger seats. Weight is not a friend when looking for faster times.

As for who is driving, we do not know. The magazine's sources claim to have spotted three drivers in Tesla prototype vehicles: Thomas Mutsch, Andreas Simonsen and Carl Rydquist. Everyone is a professional pilot who can make the most of the S model.

So, can we expect an official tour? Probably. On Wednesday, automakers will have time to perform an official session, while Saturday would be a day reserved for Tesla's time. Stay tuned while the story unfolds.
