The German luxury sports car manufacturer Porsche announced the success of the professional driver, Les Kane, in registering a new number in the Guinness Book of Records by driving the Porsche Taycan Turbo S at a speed of 102.6 miles per hour inside a closed track . The test took place at the Ernst N Morial Center in New Orleans, USA. Not only did Kane set a new record, but he also broke the long-running old record by gaining 16 miles per hour.
The CNet.com website, which specializes in technology issues, indicated that the speed of 102 miles per hour is not great at all, but registering it inside a closed track is extremely difficult, especially in the New Orleans Convention Center, which has a total area of ​​one million square meters, where the driver must increase the speed of the car Then slow it down over a short period of time.
The high acceleration rate is one of the advantages of the Taycan Turbo S, as it can reach a speed of 60 miles per hour within 2.6 seconds of launch, thanks to the launch control system, the four-wheel drive system and the engine, which has a power of 750 horsepower, which helped Ken and Porsche set a number New record.
Of course, the speed record is not set on a closed track if a car crashes into a wall on the other side of the building, so being able to stop quickly is important as well. For this purpose, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S comes with large ceramic and carbon brakes. If you have not driven a Porsche with this advanced brake system, the sensation of depressing the brake pedal and slowing down is terrifying due to the tremendous potency of the brakes.
