Make no mistake, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S is a killer ready to bite your head off, at least in the hands of Top Gear’s tamed racing driver, the Stig, where it posted an amazing lap time.



The electric sedan was unleashed at the show’s test track located at the Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey, UK during Series 28, Episode 3, and managed to beat some big names.

The 1:17.6 achieved by the mysterious man in the racing suit in the Tesla Model S fighter puts the car ahead of the original Bugatti Veyron (1:18.3), as well as the Ferrari Enzo and Koenigsegg CCX (1:19.0-1:17.6), according to the official lap times. At the upper end of the chart, we find the more powerful Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (1:16.8), Lamborghini Aventador (1:16.5), McLaren MP4-12C (1:16.2) and Lamborghini Huracan (1:15.8). The podium holds the Ariel Atom V8 500, BAC Mono and Pagani Huayra, with 1:15.1, 1:14.3 and 1:13.8, respectively.

Before moving on to the actual footage showing The Stig doing what he does best, let’s talk about the numbers: 761 PS (750 HP / 560 kW) and 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft) of torque with Overboost enabled. In a straight-line acceleration, the top-of-the-line Taycan is capable of hitting the 100 km/h (62 mph) mark in around 2.6 seconds and 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.8 seconds. At 260 km/h (161 mph), the top speed is more than enough, as is the battery pack which, when fully charged, will give you a driving range of up to 412 km (256 miles) – on the WLTP cycle. Should you find a 150 kW fast charger, you could get up to 80 percent in 36 minutes. Not too shabby, huh?
