That’s right, the Porsche Taycan is not fast only on the roads and on race tracks, but also inside a building. At 165.1 km/h (102.5 mph) inside an exhibition hall in New Orleans, Louisiana, the 4-door electric coupe set a new Guinness World Record for being the fastest vehicle indoors. This is the second Guinness World Record for the Taycan; the first one was for the longest continuous drift.
Piloted by racing driver Leh Keen, the Taycan Turbo S broke the previous 138.4 km/h (86 mph) record after 7 years. The AWD model was equipped with carbon ceramic brakes.
I didn’t really appreciate the scale of the record attempt until my first exploratory run. The surface is so unpredictable, so slick, that you have to have complete trust in your car. It truly was like ice – and you’re accelerating flat out, facing a really hard wall at the end. Suddenly, even in a massive space like the one we had, it seems very small. I could feel the Taycan’s systems figuring it out, working so hard to keep me heading straight – it was such an impressive feat. To accelerate so hard on such an erratic surface was incredible. Not for a moment did I doubt I could do it. – Keen
