Drag Race. Tesla Model X Takes On Some Supercars
Have you ever seen a Porsche or Lamborghini drag racing a full-size luxury SUV? Probably not. But times have changed. Tesla Model X Plaid has the guts to face some of the sexiest supercars on the dragstrip.
YouTube channel DragTimes brings us the thrill and excitement of watching a 5390 lbs (2445 kg) Tesla Model X Plaid dishonoring the internal combustion engine (ICE) superstars.
In a previous test, DragTimes was able to confirm that Tesla Model X Plaid is the world’s quickest, most powerful SUV when it comes to 0 to 60 mph acceleration and 1/4 mile times.
MODEL X PLAID VS. PORSCHE 992 TURBO S.
Porsche 992 Turbo S is currently the quickest production car from the German luxury performance carmaker. The All-Wheel Drive Twin-Turbo engine drivetrain of the 992 Turbo S can produce 650 hp of power.
Although the Tesla Model X Plaid is 1020 hp, the Porsche 992 Turbo S is around 1775 lbs lighter than the Model X Plaid. So the power-to-weight ratio of the Porsche is quite comparable.
The instant torque, Tri-Motor AWD, and the Plaid launch mode were too much to handle for the Porsche 992 Turbo S. Tesla Model X Plaid left it fading away in the side-view mirror.
TESLA MODEL X PLAID VS. LAMBORGHINI HURACAN E.V.O.
With an MSRP of $304K, you can buy two Tesla Model X Plaid S.U.V.s for the price of one Lamborghini Huracan E.V.O.. Like the Porsche 992, Huracan E.V.O. is also a 5.2L V10 engine AWD car with 630 horsepower to spare.
Huracan E.V.O. is 1745 lbs lighter than the Model X Plaid (5390 lbs), so this should be a good power-to-weight ratio compared to Plaid X’s 1020 horsepower.
Yet this sleek supercar lost to a family S.U.V. on the dragstrip and by a healthy margin, a wake-up call for today's ICE sportscar makers.
One thing in common looking at the results of both tests is the consistent performance of the Tesla Model X Plaid. It completed all the quarter mile races below 10 seconds at around 145 mph.
The performance of the Porsche 992 Turbo S was way better than the Lamborghini Huracan E.V.O. The Porsche did the quarter mile races in less time than the Lambo, so kudos to the Porsche team for being in the second position in this competition overall.

My Take: It must be a humbling experience for both Porche and Lamborghini.

My Take: It must be a humbling experience for both Porche and Lamborghini.
Porsche really shows why it's the best brand around: Amazing cars that will draw the eye of any onlooker, at great prices, and a very very solid post-sale support team. Truly superb!
Amazing experience, even when buying from home due to covid! James Eadington in particular was a fantastic salesman. Many happy miles with the 718 cayman GTS!
This is a quick report as Porsche ownership is very subjective. Have owned an older Porsche Boxster since 2013, and must mention its easily the best car I have ever owed in 40 years. Mine's old, but its like an old race horse, it might be old but its still a race horse. If your lucky enough to own any Porsche, make the most of it whilst possible, before all vehicles become electric and loose their ability to excite the spirit and imagination.
Want to look good, and impress those around you with a car that's not only fast, but good looking? Look no further than porsche.
I love the new 911! Have been a Porsche fan for many years. And personally own 2 911’s. True masterpieces of machines.
