Tesla Model S Plaid accelerates to 96 km / h in less than 2 seconds only on specially prepared surface

Motortrend has received a new electric Tesla Model S Plaid, which has already been dubbed the fastest production car in history.

The Tesla Model S Plaid received a battery with a range of 627 km, an electric installation with a capacity of 1020 hp, and the acceleration from 0 to 96 km / h, according to official data, takes 1.99 seconds. Even before the release of the Tesla Model S, Plaid set a world record in a quarter mile, or 402 m race, covering this distance in 9.2 seconds and accelerating to 244.6 km / h.

On the day when the Tesla Model S Plaid was to be tested on the familiar track where Motortrend tests cars, Tesla said that the car shows the declared results only on specially prepared surfaces. During the negotiations, it was decided to take measurements on a special track with a sticky coating that prevents slipping, as well as on a regular track.

The special surface allowed Tesla Model S Plaid not only to confirm the stated acceleration time from 0 to 96 km /, but also to improve it. As a result, the car finished in 1.98 seconds, setting a new record. True, the car drove a quarter mile in 9.25 (0.05 s slower than the stated time) s at a speed of 244.9 km / h.

The Tesla Model S Plaid covers the distance so quickly that it is difficult to even notice what is happening. Your neck muscles tense as your helmet-wearing head bumps into the headrest, and everything blurs into simple shapes and colors as a quarter of a mile of road disappears below you.

On normal surface, the results were 2.07 and 9.34 s, which means that the difference was very small.
