Road and Track stated that apparently most of the interior was gutted according to eye-witnesses and inside sources - hence the extremely dark tint, and the car looks fairly lowered and is wearing race track oriented tires (although they are just about street legal), but regardless it will likely do well on the Nürburgring.

I think that it has a chance at beating the Taycan mostly because when Elon first tweeted, we all thought he was talking about the normal P100D which is known to go into limp-home mode, when in fact he kind of tricked us in a sense by revealing that it will be using a new powertrain all together (plaid triple motor system) after the fact, one of which we have no idea when it will reach the public.

In my opinion, the Nürburgring doesn't have any effect on my purchasing decisions, its more of a pissing match between automakers, but if Tesla does win, it is going to be very annoying to hear Musk's twitter gloating and all of his cult followers rejoicing in this. We all know how annoying the Tesla fanboys can be.
