Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Manthey Kit Shatters Nürburgring Record — 6:55.533

Porsche has once again proven why it remains the undisputed king of the Nürburgring!

Recently, Porsche development driver Lars Kern set a blistering new lap time of 6:55.533 on the legendary Nordschleife in a Taycan Turbo GT equipped with the Manthey Kit. This achievement not only establishes a new record for the fastest production electric car around the Ring but has also sent shockwaves through the global performance car community.

Absolute Dominance Over Chinese Ultra EVs

While Chinese electric hypercars have been generating plenty of hype lately, Porsche has let the stopwatch do the talking:

• Vs Yangwang U9 Xtreme: Porsche is 3.6 seconds faster (U9 recorded 6:59.157)
• Vs Xiaomi SU7 Ultra: Porsche is nearly 10 seconds faster (SU7 Ultra recorded 7:04.957)
• Vs Previous Taycan Turbo GT (Weissach): A massive 12 seconds faster

The Secret Weapon: Manthey Kit

The star of this record run is the Manthey Kit, co-developed by Porsche and its long-time partner, Manthey Racing. This extreme performance package delivers race-car levels of aerodynamic downforce and high-speed stability.

Editor's Note

While the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra has been trending heavily on Malaysian social media, Porsche has just reminded everyone what "God-tier" electric performance looks like by smashing the 7-minute barrier.

For local "Porker" fans, this new record is the ultimate validation of the brand's engineering supremacy. In Malaysia's luxury EV segment, the Taycan remains the undisputed benchmark. With this latest Nürburgring achievement, demand — and waiting lists — are expected to grow even stronger.

The EV lap record battle is heating up. Do you think Xiaomi or Yangwang can fight back in the future?
