Yeah that's pretty good for the non "S" to beat out the M340i and get into the top 10.

Interesting. The M8 obv is a rocket, but M340i continues to impress, love it!

It seems they tested the RWD M340i, it would have been interesting to have seen how the M340i X-Drive would have performed with more grip (& weight).

An interesting graphic from the Taycan's individual article. Without a proper charger nearby a track, it can take a while to charge those batteries.

Impressive number from the eternally heavy Taycan Turbo S.
But it just goes to show how much weight matters. It got destroyed by the 911 Turbo S. And let's not forget that the 911's weight distribution is not as ideal as the EV Taycan's.

Fine I'll say it.. I suspect the 992T will beat the 992 GT3RS around this track time and time again.. the awd grip it has upon exiting corners cannot be matched even with a lighter, rwd car

I don’t think so. Lower weight and the downforce on the GT3 RS are the key. It obviously also depends on the track and the weather conditions.

I'm a little confused, so how's it FWD biased?
