Tesla has achieved impressive results in its short history of less than two decades. Not only has it faced the giants of the industry, it has also overtaken them. If you ever said that a Tesla car could match a Ferrari, you might expect to be laughed at.
Is the Ferrari SF90 Stradale still ridiculously fast today?
Today’s electric cars are so fast that even supercar owners will think twice before embarking on the challenges of the race. It is known that Rimac Nevera is the fastest sprint today. The snag is that this car costs a fortune and the Tesla Model S Plaid does not.
The affordable family car has already faced a Porsche Taycan, Lamborghini Aventador SVJ or a tuned Shelby GT500 i Porsche 911 Turbo S. So far, he has shown every time that he is extremely fast.
Today you will find out if the absurdly fast Ferrari SF90 Stradale has a chance with the Tesla Model S Plaid. The video that hit the YouTube Drag Times channel will go down in history. In fact, it has a symbolic meaning. It is a clash of everything we love most about the legendary brand with what seems to be inevitable.
The Tesla Model S Plaid is fighting the Ferrari legend
Tesla is on the finish line with three electric motors, which together generate a power of 1,020 horsepower and 1,420 Nm. The weight of the car is 2,192 kg, which in a nutshell means that Ferrari may have a chance to win the quarter mile sprint.
Or maybe? Ferrari has a twin-turbocharged 4.0 liter V8 engine with a maximum power of 769 horsepower. It also has three electric motors that generate an extra boost of 217 horsepower. In total, the SF90 Stradale produces 986 hp and 800 Nm of torque. It weighs 1,632 kg, which is much less than Tesla.
On the first run, the Plaid Model S breaks out at the start, and despite being first on the finish line, it captures Ferrari’s victory. The same situation also occurs in second gear.
Even though Tesla crosses the finish line in 9.36 seconds at 241 km / h, it is losing due to technical reasons. Ferrari is about 0.3 seconds slower and has an excellent start in third gear. Will the Ferrari legend be victorious in the decisive clash of the final fourth gear? We will not spoil your fun – see for yourself
