Well yes downforce is important on the Nordschleife, front and rear.
If you add downforce only at the rear you will notice understeer through Flugplatz, Schwedenkreuz, Kesselchen, Klostertal, etc.....you name it.
Furthermore, diffusors are not really working that well because the track is too bumby. This is the reason why you see massive wings and splitters on many fast Nordschleife cars.
Still, you can set fast laps without any downforce as long as the Aero is basically zero lift front and rear. I believe the Taycan is well balanced but noticeable downforce is unlikely.
More differential braking?
Gotta say it with a lisp though.As opposed to Porsche fanboys?
The top speed of the Model S is a few MPH HIGHER than the Taycan. And probably software-limited. If speed is the concern, Raven could have an advantage there as well.

Tesla Model S spied prepping for Nurburgring lap attempt
Reportedly has wider fenders for the larger tires along with a bigger cooling intake. The metalwork looks factory though...
Humm....
Good eyes!It looks like it is a new trim level: P100D+

So I guess there goes the complaints about it being a one-off custom version for the run. And I suspect that it will become orderable after they complete the run.

Interesting. Tesla had moved away from the P100D designation for the last several months - we've all got just Dual Motor with a red bar instead.
Oh fudge!
What if it is triple motor? Roaster intent dual motor rear drive unit, but with only a 100kWh pack instead of 200kWh?
Look at the other photos. Obviously larger brakes...It looks like it is a new trim level: P100D+

Then why isn't it a P100T+ badge?
I suggested that dual P3 rear drive unit/roadster testbed theory a ways upthread, if they're making a new serious performance variant. (In answer to someone suggesting Tesla might make a new ~360 kW PMSR rear drive unit.)
Yeah you’re right. Much bigger rotors and they look ceramic. Maybe Tesla won’t look foolish after allLook at the other photos. Obviously larger brakes...
My race car (Titan Mk 6 Formula Ford) was the best handling car I ever drove - perfectly neutral through the corners - but it was a purpose built racecar: seating for one, full loss electrical system, 6 gallon fuel tank. Useful for nothing else.You have a tesla now? What are your thoughts on the Tesla VS other cars in terms of performance?
