On the Nurburgring, a 5000lb Taycan Turbo GTS can beat any production BMW ever made. But in everyday driving the EV has superior powerband, instant torque and 3x the efficiency. Most EV drivers never want to own a gas vehicle again.
The Taycan has 1034 horsepower, which it can use effectively on the long straits. The 'Ring is not Hockenheim.

We are talking about handling here. What do you think an M5 CS with 1034 horsepower would do to a 5,000 lbs Taycan in the same scenario?

Let us stick to the laws of physics, laws that can be clearly observed in the slow speed for the G60 in the above test, compared with the G30.

Replace the G30 with something lighter and lower to the ground and get ready for even more laughs.
