The head of Tesla Elon Musk shared the good news – Model S Plaid is officially recognized as the fastest production car of those that passed the Nürburgring track. This track is used by almost all automakers for testing and fine-tuning their cars, and high-speed races are an unofficial measure of the dynamic capabilities of different cars. And in its category, the Model S Plaid is recognized as the benchmark – until its record is improved by another serial electric car.
Recall that one of the previous Nürburgring lap records, if we consider serial electric cars, belonged to the Taycan Turbo – in 2019 it covered a lap in 7 minutes and 43.3 seconds. The Model S Plaid, as seen in the picture, finished in 7 minutes and 30.9 seconds.
And although cars with traditional engines are faster at the Nurburgring (for example, the Porsche Panamera Turbo completed a circle in 7 minutes and 23.1 seconds), you need to understand that these are mostly sports cars, and in not the simplest versions. The Model S Plaid is, albeit a very powerful, but still a family sedan, and in a completely basic version.
