Nissan GT-R Finds Out Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid And Audi RS6 Are No Easy Rivals

In times gone by, the R35 Nissan GT-R was pretty much the quickest-accelerating production car on earth. However, considerably quicker supercars have come along in recent years, leaving the GT-R for dead. But, surely, with all of its power and traction, the GT-R will have no issues out-performing a couple of fast family cars, right?

Eager to answer that very question, CarWow lined up a Nissan GT-R Nismo against a Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid and an Audi RS6. The races from a standing start and a rolling race are very telling.

In the one and only race from a standing start, all three cars sprint off the line at impressive speeds and for the first few feet, are well matched. However, as the speeds start to increase, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid and Nissan GT-R begin to eke out a lead. Eventually, it is the Porsche that stays ahead of the GT-R as the duo cross the finish line in a perfect demonstration of just how potent the Panamera is.

As for the rolling race, it was just as intriguing. With all three cars in their standard driving modes and with their transmissions in automatic modes, the RS6 gets off the line best but once again, the Porsche and Nissan soon leave it for dead. The main difference with this race is the fact that the Nissan started to pull away from the Porsche as the speeds increased.

Some See Art, Others See Crime In This 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Art Car

All Porsche 911s are special but the exterior paint finish of this particular 1989 Carrera makes it even more so.

This 911 art car was created as part of the Art Cars Project run by the Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec in Canada and is being offered from a dealership in California with an accident-free Carfax report and an Arizona title. Responsible for the unique paint scheme were artist Dominic Besner and collaborator Yves Thibeault.

The front of the 911 depicts a bull with a nose ring with its horns extending over the front fenders and onto the doors. The rest of the paintwork combines elements of orange, red, yellow, brown, blue, white, black, and turquoise. Completing the striking exterior look are black 16-inch Fuchs-style wheels with custom-painted center caps complete with Porsche crests shod in 205/50 front and 225/50 rear Pirelli Cinturato tires.

Found in the interior are seats clad in tan-colored upholstery complete with matching floor mats and carpets. Key features include air conditioning and a Kenwood CD player.

Powering this 911 Carrera is a 3.2-liter naturally aspirated flat-six pumping out 217 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque, and the Bring A Trailer listing adds that the oil and battery was replaced in May 2020.

Porsche Taycan Turbo S Goes From 0 To 155 Mph (250 km/h) In 15 Seconds

The Porsche Taycan Turbo S is one of the best electric cars in the market. It combines the practicality of an executive sedan with all the bells and whistles expected from such a model, supercar-like performance and instant thrust.

Sitting at the top of the Taycan range, the Turbo S has up to 750 HP and 774 pound-feet (1,050 Nm) of torque with the Overboost function enabled, or 616 HP without it.

In the sportiest driving mode, it needs only 2.8 seconds for the 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint, and will hit the 60 mph (96 km/h) mark in just 2.6 seconds after setting off, while flat out, it will do 161 mph (260 km/h).

Now, as we all know, certain sections of the German Autobahn do not have a speed limit, and that is where this Taycan Turbo S demonstrated its 0 to 155 mph (0-250 km/h) acceleration in a continuous sprint. Mind you, the entire video is only 16 seconds long, and it actually took a bit less for the electric sports sedan to complete it.

In case you want a Taycan Turbo S, then get ready to pay a minimum of €186,336 ($226,514) in Germany, and at least $185,000 in the United States, where it has an EPA estimated driving range of 201 miles (323 km).

Audi RS6 Drag Races Porsche 911 Turbo S And Taycan Turbo S, Who Do You Think Won?

<!––>

The Audi RS6 Avant is an absolute weapon in a straight line, but this video shows that it has no hope keeping up with the likes of the Porsche 911 Turbo S and Porsche Taycan Turbo S.

The RS6 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with mild-hybrid technology that produces 591 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It also utilizes an eight-speed automatic transmission sending power to the ground through a Quattro all-wheel drive system, allowing the super estate to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in the low 3-second range.

There are few cars competing in the same segment of the market that are as accelerative as the RS6 Avant, but this video proves that if you venture into Porsche’s lineup, there are a handful of vehicles that can out-sprint the Audi.

First up is the Taycan Turbo S. It features a pair of electric motors that combine to deliver 750 hp on Overboost, allowing the car to accelerate with unbelievable ferocity. Then there’s the 911 Turbo S, complete with a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six rated at 641 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque.

In this race, the Taycan Turbo S gets a slight jump off the line and for the first few feet, the Audi and 911 Turbo S are neck-and-neck. Before long, however, the 911 opens up a gap to the RS6 and as the speeds continue to build, overtakes the Taycan.

Tesla Model S Performance Can’t Keep Up With Porsche’s Taycan Turbo S

Next year, the Tesla Model S ‘Plaid’ will start to reach the hands of customers but for now, it is the Porsche Taycan Turbo S that’s proven itself to be the most accelerative electric sedan currently on sale.

In what is the most comprehensive test between the flagship Model S Performance and the Taycan Turbo S to date, DragTimes headed out to the quarter-mile to put the duo through their paces. The results were close but it was the Porsche that claimed victory.

During the first run, the Porsche leaps out of the box slightly quicker than the Tesla and is able to stretch out its lead as the two EVs run down the quarter-mile. In the second race, the driver of the Tesla jumped the start and ran a 10.563 quarter-mile, still behind the Porsche that recorded a 10.393-second quarter-mile. The third and final race almost perfectly mimicked the first race as it was the Porsche that got the better launch and stretched out a commanding lead.

To ensure the two were evenly matched, both were brought to the drag strip on trucks and each had 100 per cent charge before the first race.

According to the YouTuber, the Porsche recorded a best 0-60 mph (96 km/h) time of 2.35 seconds while the Model S Performance recorded a best time of 2.34 seconds. However, thanks to the two-speed transmission of the Taycan Turbo S, it proves to be too much as the speeds increased. The Porsche is also said to have performed more consistently throughout the day of filming.

McLaren 720S Spider Vs. Porsche Taycan Turbo S: Can The Supercar Beat The Electric Super Sedan?

Ever since deliveries commenced in 2017, the McLaren 720S quickly made a name for itself in the drag racing world, as it was the car to beat in a quarter mile sprint.

Countless vehicles, some with more power than Woking’s machine, have fallen victim to the 720S over the years. The question is, can it add the Porsche Taycan Turbo S to this list?

The Taycan Turbo S benefits from the instant torque of the two electric motors that put out 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm), with a 750 HP (761 PS / 560 kW) peak output, enabling a 161 mph (260 km/h) top speed and a 0-62mph (0-100 km/h) acceleration of 2.8 seconds. In the right hands, the Taycan Turbo S is a 10-second car, although one with spacious and comfortable back seats and a generous boot space.

At its lightest, it tips the scales at 5,060 lbs (2,295 kg), whereas the dry weight of the 720S Spider, which was the one raced in this video, is 2,937 lbs (1,332 kg). The Macca has a twin turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 that pumps out 710 HP (720 PS / 530 kW) and 568 pound-feet (770 Nm). Thus, it needs 2.9 seconds to sprint to 62 mph (100 km/h) and can reach a top speed of 212 mph (341 km/h).

So, the British supercar has the weight advantage, but the Porsche is more powerful and, thanks to its electric powertrain, quicker off the line. All things considered, then, this is a drag race that could be anyone’s game.

There’s No Chance The Porsche Taycan Turbo S Can Defeat The 918 Spyder, Right?

Here’s an extremely interesting Porsche family feud: a drag race between the 918 Spyder hybrid supercar and the Taycan Turbo S electric executive saloon.

Not long ago, we would have had no problem in guessing the winner, considering that both are stock, as no family car could have been quicker than a hybrid hypercar. Nonetheless, things have drastically changed over last few years to the point where it could really be anyone’s game in a quarter-mile race.

In the case of the Taycan, we are talking about a seriously fast machine that needs only 2.6 seconds to sprint to 60 mph (96 km/h) from a standstill, and can keep pushing up to 161 mph (260 km/h). The two electric motors develop a total system output of 750 HP and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque, and with the 93.4 kWh lithium-ion battery fully charged, which is mounted between the two axles for optimum weight distribution, it has an EPA-rated range of 192 miles (309 km/h).

Being almost 10 times pricier than the Taycan Turbo S, the 918 Spyder is a bit faster to 60 mph (96 km/h), and has a significantly higher top speed of 214 mph (344 km/h). It uses a 4.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine and two electric motors, which are good for a total of 875 HP and 944 lb-ft (1,280 Nm).

Now, it does seem like the 918 has a slight advantage over the Taycan – plus, it is significantly lighter. On the other side, the Taycan Turbo S’ instant and constant electric torque makes it a ferocious performer, but is that enough to help it beat the mighty 918?
