The VW Group’s hard-working employees give everything they have in this 1km race.
The Porsche Taycan Turbo S machine is quick. It can cover a quarter mile in 10.7 seconds for the 2021 model year, which is one of the reasons electric cars have gained a reputation for being fast in straight-line races. Except for the Tesla drag racing we’ve seen.
Is the all-electric Porsche sedan able to beat the 911 Turbo S or the Audi RS6 Avant in drag racing? What’s more, can the all-electric Porsche sedan hold its own in a race of just 1 km (0.62-mile)?
This is what we have, thanks to Motorsport Magazine and YouTube. Drag race competitors? The drag race contenders: A white Porsche Taycan Turbo S and an orange 992-generation Porsche 911 Turbo S as well as a gray Audi RS6 avant – all of which are under the VW Group, but serve different types of car buyers.
The Taycan Turbo S is clearly the most heavy of all the group, given the large battery pack it holds. The Taycan Turbo S weighs in at 2,349 kg (5,179 lbs), which is significantly heavier than the RS6 Avant (which weighs 2,209kg (4,870 lbs).
Although the 911 Turbo S is not the most powerful, it has the largest weight advantage of 1,655 kg (3.649 lbs). Although the Taycan is the most powerful and has most pull, its weight penalty can be very significant in a race like this.
We’ll let you know that the Porsche EV and Audi EV won the drag race. But how much? The quick video embedded at the top will show you. It’s an race with no nonsense that won’t take too much time.
