Porsche Taycan Turbo GT at Lightning Lap 2025
From the March/April 2025 issue of Car and Driver.Lap Time: 2:41.8Class: LL4 | Base: $235,360 | As Tested: $245,660 Power and Weight: 937 hp • 5123 lb • 5.5 lb/hp Tires: Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS Elect; F: 265/35ZR-21 NF0, R: 305/30ZR-21 NF0This may sound odd for a car with 937 horsepower, but the primary reason the Taycan finished behind the Lucid Air Sapphire is a relative lack of power. Well, more a lack of power deployment.
The active suspension keeps this hefty sedan hunkered down and the cornering unnaturally flat. The Lucid is more prone to oversteer and leans more in corners.But one spot where the Taycan didn't feel comfortable was in the Climbing Esses. The usual line over the inside curbing felt like it would launch the right side airborne, eroding confidence at 130 mph. So we dialed back slightly, ceding a half-second to the Lucid.
