Motor1 reports that Elon Musk isn’t taking any shit from any haters and going for a record around the Nürburgring in the Tesla Model S. At this point no one really knows what record he’s going for, or even what the hell he’s really doing, but he’s doing it. Perhaps he just wants to show Porsche that his dick is bigger car is faster than the new Taycan Turbo S.

Elon, or rather his gang of feisty engineers, are lapping the ‘Ring in a modified Tesla Model S P100D (we think) – that’s the top performance spec, with 100 kWh battery and motors that putout over 760-horsepower. Here is what we know about this Tesla, which has been spotted around the ‘Ring for the past few days:

• It’s a 2017 Model S Dual Motor according to the NHTSA decoder, VIN number 5YJSA1E2XHF198332 according to Carfax.
• It’s a Lemon-Law buyback car!
• It’s got a cool wide-body kit.
• It’s got enlarged grill opening, likely/obviously for more airflow.
• It’s got a large Gurney flap on the trunk lid.
• It’s looks like it’s riding in 20×9.5-inch BBS CI-R wheels. If so, those are 27-pound cast wheels – not ideal.
• Those wheels maybe wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. These come in a variety of sizes in the 20-inch diameter. Original Model S optional performance tires are 245/35-21 front and 265/35-21 rear. UPDATE: Newest pictures show that’s on Good Year tires, perhaps the Eagle F1 Supercar 3R.
• The brakes and rotors in the pictured car, they look bigger than the stock 14-inch Model S rotors. Those rotors have that dark finish of carbon ceramic rotors and the calipers look much bigger than stock. Calipers appear to be of the Brembo GT variety.
• Windows have dark tint on them – assume a roll cage and/or gutted interior, but Elon says it’s a seven-seater. Can’t see any of that in the Motor1 pics no matter how hard you squint.
• When the original California license plates were still on the car, they expired in June.
• It now has German temporary red license plates, front and back, that expire after 30-days.
• Nico Rosberg offered to drive it. He was spotted on Tuesday at the Frankfurt Auto Show, about a two-hour drive away.

Our BFF Bozi, who knows everything or is just really awesome at googling stuff, reports the following regarding a ‘Ring record:

• There is no category for an electric sedan on the Nürburgring record list so there is no record for the Taycan there yet.
• There is no category for a development car record at Laguna Seca so there is no record for the Tesla Model S there yet.
• The closest categories for the Taycan at Nürburgring are:
  • Mid-range cars: Jaguar XE SV Project 8 – 7:23.164
  • Executive cars: Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+ – 7:30.11
  • Electric (sports) cars: VW ID.R – 6:05.336
• So they have to beat one on an official run to get on that list.

Now this is some interesting stuff. Keep your phone on Bozi’s tweets and Motor1.com’s coverage of this exciting event, or whatever this drama can be called. There is so much going on there that this just cannot be ignored.
