Porsche 911 Turbo S Takes on Tesla Model S Plaid in Drag Race
Introduction
Beating a Tesla Model S Plaid at the drag strip has proven to be a very difficult task. However, a modified Porsche
911 Turbo S recently took on the challenge and showcased its impressive performance.
The Upgraded Porsche 911 Turbo S
The Porsche 911 Turbo S is known for its exceptional speed, but it falls short in terms of horsepower compared to the
Model S Plaid. This particular 911 Turbo S, featured by Drag Times, has been extensively upgraded with new turbochargers,
filters, intercoolers, exhaust, and a tune, resulting in an impressive 950 horsepower at the wheels. While the Model S
Plaid produces 1,020 horsepower from the factory, the modifications give the Porsche a fighting chance.
The Drag Race
In the first race, both cars launch off the line with incredible speed. The Tesla Model S Plaid gains a slight advantage
at the start but finishes the quarter-mile in 9.567 seconds at 144.35 mph (232.30 km/h). The Porsche 911 Turbo S follows
closely behind with a time of 9.639 seconds at 147.86 mph (237.95 km/h).
In the second race, the Porsche 911 Turbo S shines. The driver executes a perfect launch, leaving the Tesla behind and
setting a time of 9.416 seconds at 148.64 mph (239.21 km/h). The Model S Plaid finishes with a time of 9.529 seconds at
144.92 mph (233.22 km/h).
The third and final race is equally competitive. Once again, the Porsche achieves a better launch and sets its quickest
time of the day, completing the quarter-mile in 9.381 seconds at 148.89 mph (239.61 km/h). The Model S Plaid finishes
with a time of 9.556 seconds at 145.53 mph (234.20 km/h).
Conclusion
The Tesla Model S Plaid continues to impress with its incredible performance and luxury features. However, given the
choice between the Model S Plaid and a modified 950 horsepower Porsche 911 Turbo S, many enthusiasts would opt for the
Porsche. Its combination of power, handling, and iconic design make it a top choice for performance car enthusiasts.
