> I'm also waiting for someone to find a faster 4 door time, my original comment that everyone is ignoring to teardown a strawman "fastest car ever" argument no one made

Didn't you read my previous comment? Porsche Panamera Turbo S is the answer, just look at the official Nordschleife Records Database.

Tesla Plaid: 7:35.579

Porsche Panamera Turbo S: 7:29.81

The Porsche did it in 2020, Tesla in 2021. The Porsche is also a 4 door car.

I agree that 5.7 seconds separates these two cars.

But they are also separated by these https://www.summitracing.com/parts/MHL-51138

We will see if that 5.7s is comfortable enough when the tesla also has a rollcage and racing tires...

until then it's speculative which is faster.. since it's been 2 years, surely we have some Porsche times with stock tires you can share???

Also its kinda funny to argue 'electric cars are slower' when your example is a car which did 7:38, changed nothing about the engine but added electric power, and now does 7:29
