• Porsche Taycan Turbo GT sets EV lap record at Yas Marina.
  • 1,108 PS production car hits 2:07.247 lap time officially.
  • Driven by Ramez Azzam under new sanctioned lap record rules.
  • Joins Nürburgring, Laguna Seca, Shanghai and more lap records.

They say electric cars are quiet, but the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT just made a deafening statement. In a thrilling display of power, precision, and pure adrenaline, this battery-powered monster tore up the Yas Marina Circuit, snatching the crown as the fastest production EV on the track with a jaw-dropping time of 2:07.247. Not bad for a car that doesn’t even growl.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t your average plug-in commuter. This is Porsche flexing its EV biceps in the Middle East’s racing Mecca. With 1,108 PS, courtesy of Launch Control and Formula E-level tech, the Taycan Turbo GT isn’t just a fast car, it’s a statement. A carbon-clad, aero-sculpted, time-shattering statement.

Behind the wheel? Ramez Azzam, GT racing pro, race school instructor, and clearly no stranger to dancing with speed. He piloted the Taycan with surgical precision, squeezing every ounce of performance from a car that’s lighter, sharper, and more aggressive than any Taycan before it. And yes, it’s a production car. No secret mods. No track-only specials. Just a showroom-ready EV with supercar ambitions and a stopwatch to prove it.

Azzam’s verdict? “It reminded me of the 911 GT3 I’ve raced here.” That’s the kind of comparison that makes your ears perk up, especially when it comes from someone who knows the Yas Marina Circuit like the back of his racing gloves.

This wasn’t just a flex for Instagram. The lap was timed, verified, and rubber-stamped by the Emirates Motorsport Organisation (EMSO) with scrutineers, race control, and all the bureaucratic bells and whistles. The track layout? The exact one used for the Formula 1 finale. In other words, the big leagues.

Because Porsche isn’t just breaking lap records, it’s breaking perceptions. EVs aren’t just about eco points anymore. They’re fast. They’re thrilling. And with models like the Taycan Turbo GT, they’re rewriting the future of performance driving one circuit at a time.

This isn’t Porsche’s first EV victory lap, either. The Turbo GT already holds official production BEV records at Nürburgring, Laguna Seca, Shanghai, and Interlagos. Yas Marina is just the latest feather in a very carbon-fibered cap.

Turbo GT by the numbers:

  • 0–100 km/h in 2.2 seconds
  • Top speed: 305 km/h
  • Up to 1108 PS with Attack Mode
  • Ceramic brakes as standard
  • Up to 220 kg of downforce with the Weissach Package
  • And yes, it looks like it could star in a sci-fi reboot of Le Mans.
