Tesla has reclaimed the production EV lap record on the famous Nurburgring tra
ck
with a new Model S Plaid equipped with the Track package.
特斯拉在著名的紐柏林賽道上使用新 Model S Plaid 賽道套件重新打破量產電車官方記
錄。
Nurburgring has been a fighting ground for Tesla and Porsche over the last few
years.
紐柏林過去這幾年已成為特斯拉跟保時捷競爭的戰地。
After Porsche brought its brand-new Taycan electric car to the Nurburgring tra
ck to break a record in 2019, Tesla CEO Elon Musk decided to use the famous pr
oving grounds for the electric automaker’s own latest performance vehicle.
2019年保時捷用全新的 Taycan 電車打破紐柏林賽道紀錄後，特斯拉執行長 Elon Musk
決定也帶自家的性能電車來用這個著名的挑戰地點。
Tesla started testing early Model S Plaid prototypes at the track and achieved
some impressive lap times. However, the vehicle was delayed, and it didn’t l
aunch until two years later.
特斯拉很早就帶 Model S Plaid 原型車來這賽道，得到了一些令人留下深刻印象的非官
方好成績。但是受到量產時程的延後，兩年後才正式開賣。
In 2021, Tesla brought its then brand-new production version Model S Plaid to
the Nurburgring track and beat Porsche’s record with an impressive 7:35.579.
在 2021 年，特斯拉終於帶當時全新的量產版 Model S Plaid 到紐柏林賽道並用 7:35.5
79 官方紀錄打敗保時捷。
A year later, Porsche regained the fastest production EV lap at the track with
a Taycan Turbo S managing the shave 2 seconds off Tesla’s time.
一年後，保時捷使用 Taycan Turbo S 重新再刷新量產電車紀錄，比特斯拉時間更快兩秒
。
Albeit technically a production car, the Porsche with a very specific “perfor
mance kit” that helped it achieve this record.
雖然技術上是量產車，但那台保時捷使用了特殊的性能套件才得到這個成績。
Tesla was expected to be able to beat it when its own long-delayed “Track Pac
kage” became available.
當時特斯拉就期望能夠再度刷新紀錄，只需要自家也出類似的賽道套件。
Sure enough, the new brakes and tires package is now available and Tesla confi
rmed that it was able to beat the Nurburgring production EV record with a Plai
d equipped with the package:
果不其然，當升級版煞車及輪胎套件推出之後，特斯拉將其裝上重返賽道，就重新刷新了
紐柏林賽道量產電車紀錄：

It not only beat Porsche’s record, but it did it by a significant 8-second di
fference.
不僅打敗保時捷的紀錄，還快了8秒這相當幅度的差距。
Here’s a video of the lap that did it:

It appeared that the brakes were the limiting factor. Tesla didn’t want to un
lock higher top speeds without the electric supercar having bigger brakes that
would be able to slow it down after achieving this new top speed.
看起來原本的限制主要是煞車。特斯拉之前不想解鎖最高速，是因為這台電車超跑沒有更
強大的煞車無法在達到新的最高速之後有效減速。
Tesla started to offer to upgrade the brakes with a carbon ceramic kit for $20
,000 last year, but the automaker has yet to install the new brakes on Model S
Plaid.
特斯拉去年開始賣兩萬美金的升級版陶瓷煞車，但那時還沒有開始提供安裝在 Model S P
laid上。
Last summer, we reported on a Tesla Model S Plaid breaking a 200 mph top speed
for the first time after being hacked by the owner to remove Tesla’s speed l
imiter. It actually achieved a top speed of 216 mph (348 km/h); it looked like
it could have gone faster, but they were running out of tarmac and braking sp
ace–despite having upgraded the brakes themselves with third-party brakes.
去年夏天，Electrek 報導了一台 Model S Plaid 時速超越 322 公里，透過使用電腦駭
入解除特斯拉的限速。事實上它最高達到了348 km/h，看起來其實還能更快，但現場場地
跑道距離已經不夠煞車減速。當時那台車用的是第三方的升級版煞車。

Now Tesla’s own ceramic brakes, new race tire, and wheel upgrades are all ava
ilable, Tesla is expected to allow Model S Plaid owners to unlock those capabi
lities under “track mode”.
現在特斯拉有了自己的陶瓷煞車、新的賽道胎與輪圈，特斯拉預期會讓車主自己能用「賽
道模式」來解鎖這些能力。
心得/說明：(30字以上)
特斯拉拿到7:35然後後來被保時捷拿到7:33超越的時候，當時我就說只要換上新的賽道胎
就有機會再奪回王座，果不其然特斯拉也出自己的賽道煞車跟輪胎之後，直接來到7:25，
再次打破保時捷紀錄。不過我猜保時捷接下來也會換上千匹三馬達再次挑戰特斯拉。這競
爭
就讓我們繼續看下去。
