Can a tuned Audi RS3 beat the Tesla Model S Plaid in drag race?

Can a tuned Audi RS3 beat the Tesla Model S Plaid in drag race? Well, there aren’t many cars that can boast of being a worthy opponent of the Tesla Model S Plaid in drag race, and a video showing the showdown between the two cars has been published on the YouTube channel Sam CarLegion.

About the Tesla Model S Plaid there is no need to waste words when it comes to acceleration. This super fast car 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 Audi RS3 is powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine with 753 hp (554 kW). Power is transmitted to all wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission.

In three races (Sport Mode, Spor all the way and Sport all the way), Audi simply had no chance. No matter how much you increase the power of the internal combustion engine, it is obvious that some electric models are out of range, at least when it comes to acceleration.

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.
