3000 horsepower for three. The world’s fastest sedans – Tesla Model S Plaid, Lucid Air Dream Edition and Porsche Taycan Turbo S – hit it off on the track

Tesla Model S Plaid with its three motors and 1020 hp although it is the most powerful model of the manufacturer, there is a serial sedan and more powerful – this is the twin-engine Lucid Air Performance Dream Edition with its 1111 hp. The number is beautiful, but does that mean the Lucid Air is faster than the Model S Plaid? In the video test, these flagships of the electric car industry converged, and they were accompanied by a Porsche Taycan Turbo S with two electric motors and a power of 750 hp. Perhaps the Porsche engineers were able to perform a miracle, providing their car with competitive dynamics with less power?

Alas, the miracle did not happen: the Porsche Taycan Turbo S is the slowest of the trio. But the Lucid Air also did not emerge victorious from the “drag race”: even if it is the most powerful, it still weighs almost 200 kg more than the Model S Plaid. As a result, 1020 hp won 1111 hp, with a good margin in all three races.

But the most interesting thing is that the fastest electric car turned out to be the most affordable. The Tesla Model S Plaid retails for $124,000. The Lucid Air Performance Dream Edition is almost 1.5 times more expensive at $170,000. Well, the slowest electric car turned out to be the most expensive: they ask for $ 218,000 for the Porsche Taycan Turbo S.
