I wonder if they'll announce the new Ring time when they announce the car (specs and pics). That is often the case and then pricing usually follows after...

Ring times tend to be more integral to marketing a GT car than Turbo, so it could happen.

Pretty sure they want the first number to be a "6", but probably close to your guess.

Well, the new face-lifted Panamera is rumored to have lapped the 'Ring in 7:11.

If a Taycan Turbo (non-S) can do a 7:42, imagine what a Turbo S can do, then extrapolate that to a car that is about 500 lbs lighter can do
