The Tesla Model S Plaid has gained a reputation for outperforming numerous supercars since its release in 2021. While it has been surpassed by more expensive all-electric vehicles such as the Rimac Nevera and the Lucid Air Sapphire, the Model S Plaid is still considered exceptional within its current price range.
In a recent series of races against the 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto, the Model S Plaid showcased its capabilities in drag races, rolling races, and brake tests. These race videos were uploaded by the YouTube motoring channel carwow, and the competitions were both captivating and remarkable.
Although the Lamborghini Revuelto appeared to be a strong competitor on paper, with its hybrid powertrain boasting similar horsepower and torque figures to the Model S Plaid, the Tesla emerged as the victor in the quarter-mile drag races and some half-mile rolling races. The Revuelto did manage to win one half-mile race, under specific conditions that favored the hybrid supercar.
Given its performance, the Revuelto appears to be a worthy flagship for the Italian supercar brand, but it also comes at a high price, starting at over $600,000. To witness the captivating races between the Tesla Model S Plaid and the Lamborghini Revuelto, you can watch the video published by carwow.
