Can the Porsche 911 Turbo S beat the Tesla Model S Plaid & 1,100 hp Nissan GTR in drag race?

A month ago, a video appeared on YouTube in which the guys from Throttle House compared three super powerful and fast cars in a drag race. These are the Tesla Model S Plaid, the Porsche 911 Turbo S and the modified Nissan GTR.

Tesla Models S Plaid is powered by three electric motors with a total power of 1,020 hp (750 kW) and 1,050 lb-ft (1,424 Nm) of torque, with a range of 396 miles. It reaches 60 mph in 1.99 seconds with a top speed of 200 mph (322 km/h).

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic PDK transmission. It reaches 62 mph in an impressive 2.3 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h).

The modified Nissan GTR is powered by a 3,8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with 1,100 hp (809 kW), paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. It reaches a top speed of 235 mph (378 km/h).

When it comes to pricing, the Porsche 911 Turbo S is the most expensive with $ 207,000. The Tesla Model S Plaid is significantly cheaper than the Porsche, costing $ 147,990. The price of the Nissan GTR is not known, as it is a modified model.

At 1/4 mile in a straight line the Tesla Model S Plaid was much faster than the Porsche 911 Turbo S. After that the Nissan GTR and Tesla Model S Plaid came out on the track where, again, the Model S Plaid was better.

Hennessey has introduced the fastest car with a Christmas tree

Hennessey has introduced the fastest car with a Christmas tree, the Audi RS6 Avant with 800 HP. With a Christmas tree on the roof and Spencer Geswein behind the wheel, John Hennessey’s wife’s car reached 183 mph (295 km / h), which was enough to make it the fastest.

“This was a fun way to complete our high-speed testing with the Venom F5. Finally, who needs a reindeer when your wife drives an 800-hp sleigh?” said John Hennessey.

In 2019, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk SRT with over 1000 hp became the fastest car with a Christmas tree, reaching 181 mph (291 km / h). Many were trying to set a new record, and the closest to that was the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Shelby reached almost 186 mph (300 km / h), but it has not been recorded (and published), so the official record remained in the hands of the tuned Jeep.

A few months ago, John Hennessey tested his Porsche 911 Turbo S with 760 hp (559 kW). It reached 175 mph (282 km / h), but that was not enough.
