Thanks to everyone who helped set up this race: - Tesla Model S Plaid: - Porsche 911 Turbo S: @Officially_gassed - BMW M5: @evolve automotive This is what you call a spicy petrol vs electric drag race! We’ve got Mat in the crazy fast Tesla Model S Plaid, and he’s facing off against a Porsche 911 Turbo S & a BMW M5 Competition. The thing is, these aren’t your everyday 911 Turbo & M5 - they’ve both been tuned and now deliver 1,000hp each! So how will this one play out? Well for starters, let’s check out the stats. Starting with the Tesla Model S Plaid, it’s powered by three electric motors which combine to deliver 1,020hp and 1,420Nm of torque. Naturally though, being electric it’s pretty heavy, weighing in at 2,200k. Alongside it, we have the Porsche. It rolls up with the stock engine, which means there’s a twin-turbo flat-six slung over the rear axle. However, it’s had several mods done to it, including new intakes, a titanium exhaust system as well and a custom ECU remap. As a result, it delivers 1,011hp and 1,000Nm! It’s also pretty light, coming in at just 1,650kg! Then finally we have the BMW. It’s equipped with a twin-turbo V8, but of course, it’s been tuned. As a result, it now puts down 1,00hp and 1,100Nm! It also tips the scales as heavier than the 911, coming in at 1,850kg. So will it be a victory for electric? Or could ICE power snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
