Loading the Elevenlabs Text to Speech AudioNative Player...

TLDR: The 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Weissach just became the first production car to hit 60 mph in under 2 seconds at 1.89 seconds, beating the Tesla Model S Plaid by 0.18 seconds. With 1,093 horsepower from just two motors and radical weight reduction, this $231,995 electric sedan proves EVs now own the acceleration crown.


Physics said it couldn’t be done. Tesla said they already did it best. Porsche said hold my beer and unleashed a 1.89-second 0-60 mph run that shattered every production car record on the books.
