2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S is the king of the Nürburgring

In 2019, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S set the fastest lap time among production cars with 7 minutes and 42 seconds on the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife. Many have tried to drive faster than the Taycan Turbo S but without success, until last year when a new record was set by the Tesla Model S Plaid. It was a sign for Porsche to come back and show its power.

The basic Porsche Taycan Turbo S is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 750 hp (560 kW) and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 161 mph (260 km/h). However, this was not enough, so the Stuttgart-based company equipped the car with a new performance package and PDCC (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control) system, which will be available for the new 2023 model at a price of 13,377 EUR.

The car was additionally equipped with racing seats and a roll cage, and test driver Lars Kern was behind the wheel of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. The rest of the equipment was standard as in the base model, which meant that the car had the same weight. The new fastest lap time among electric production cars is 2 seconds faster than the Tesla Model S Plaid, 7 minutes and 33 seconds.

If we talk about the fastest cars on the Nürburgring Nordschleife in general, they are the Nio EP9 with 6 minutes and 45 seconds (2017) and the VW ID. R with 6 minutes and 5 seconds (2019).

MH3 GTR is an upgraded BMW M3

Last year, BMW presented a new generation of the M3 model, which is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine with 473 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque in the basic version and those who want more power, can choose a more powerful version with 503 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. However, the German tuner Manhart decided to produce a unique copy of this model called the MH3 GTR.

Let’s begin. This car is one of a kind, single copy. It is equipped with a carbon diffuser, spoiler lip and side aero flics at the front, side skirts, rear spoiler, four 100 millimeter tailpipe trims (optionally carbon or ceramic-coated), stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, 200-cell HJS catalytic converters, sport downpipes with 300-cell GESI catalytic converters, upgraded suspension. The customer can choose a Manhart Variant 4 setup coilover suspension or a lowering kit with H&R springs. The body is decorated with gray-blue color with silver-grey trim strips and lettering.

Inside, the standard seats have been replaced by two superlight Podium full Recaro carbon bucket seats with the Manhart logo on the headrest. The rest of the interior has not been changed.

When it comes to the powertrain, Manhart kept the 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine that now, thanks to the MHtronik control unit, delivers 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It is mounted on a set of satin black 20 inch Concave One rims wrapped in 265/30R20 (front) and 295/30R20 (rear) Michelin tires.
