Unfortunately there’s no way VW would allow the Audi to be made faster than the Porsche
The Porsche is a wagon version so it’s a bit less aerodynamic

I just test drove a model S plaid today and it’s ridiculous! Makes my Model Y performance feel like a bicycle 😂
Nice! I was pretty disappointed in the MYP in general really when compared to a M3P. Soon as you hit about 50, physics catches up with it lol
@@peedeegt I did test all 3 of them, and bought M3P. It was cheaper, but the most fun overall. It felt alive, and eager to go and turn....like a small puppy. Plaid is awesome in a straight line, but the 91000 usd is bit much and it felt a bit clumsy compared to M3P

How much on top of he’s making now? Silly comment.
That plaid was on another level holy cow 😮
I just drove one today. It’s ridiculous lol
its got carbon sleeved motors, so can do super high rpms.

As a Plaid owner (with a permanent 😄), I can attest the launch will take your breath away! Just as impressive is the 50-90 mph pass... rips you head back and feels effortless.
Which head?
Try doing that In Australia, the UK or many parts of Europe and you wallet will be very empty very quickly and your license will have more points in it than a dart board. Most driving morons cant handle 100 bhp, wtf are they gonna do with 400+, let alone 1000!!

When I have passengers in my Plaid, I have them press their heads back into the seat before hitting the go pedal.
@@csjrogerson2377bullshit, the law aint gate keeping shit over there. Plenty of uninhabited land in Australia to F around in and euro always has the autobahn. In the US out west the speed limit is 80mph and passing at 90mph is common.

How high should his pay raise rise to?
Plaid baby!⚡️🇺🇸
It´s no "Tesla Model S Track Package" It´s Tesla Model S PLAID with Track package (and even with upgraded brakes only, without forged/light wheels, track tires...) 😉
The Plaid with the track package is the way to go.

@@G82Watts have fun paying triple the price for a slower car and taycan only has like 350km range. Absolutely embarrassing 😂
@@EverythingTeslaRelated Build quality is still prob better then the Tesla. It's the price you pay when want cheap for the fastest performance.
@@spectorsix3937yes of course but taycan only has 350km range which is terrible and the charging infrastructure isn’t as good as Tesla’s
@@EverythingTeslaRelated You're better off rebuilding the Tesla's interior then getting the taycan then. But you won't actually do that because the interior ain't important enough for you. You would just get a stock plaid interior.

I’d love to see more drag races on this channel, no where near enough
Better than carwow. Well done Rory!
Umm no both good but carwow is the GOAT
Nah
Here in the US, the Plaid is running 9.2s in the 1/4 mile at 150+ mph on public roads. There are vids everywhere on RUclips to confirm it. It'll run that virtually anywhere anytime.
No, I don’t need a Plaid, but I do want one - and I’m gonna get one…!!! (Some day, maybe, hopefully)
Speak it into existence fam🙏🏾
Right behind ya bro 😉👍
With 20 MPH speed limits in most urban areas, is it really necessary?
I would rather keep my desirable German Audi/Porsche :)
Tesla have no plans in RHD. I cancelled my order and bought a CT turbo S. plenty of power and looks so much better
Nows the time! Tesla killed resale values dropping the MSRP by over 30% recently, so they can be had used for $60k-65k
That was as expected - but you made it very entertaining to watch! Great review with one new car and two old cars. 😁
Tesla Model S plaid everyday. man, this car is beautiful and it is a rocket on wheels... One day is gonna be day 1 with it.
Its ugly!
lol 😂😂@@MauriceBln1
Change your glasses....
Opinions i guess but i would not call it beautiful compared to the others there
Beauty is not derived from a standard formula. it is a conceptional state of an independent or individual attraction. @@daoud1256
Great video guys - And that Plaid is just absolutely insane, talk about warp speed!
The only thing missing in the line up is Lucid. Very nice, enjoyable, no surprises video.
Not in production. Only test mules exist. Lucid needs to sell $3B in inventory by Q1 2024 or go broke or the Saudis will bail them out for two straight quarters.
There was a different sites video head to head with the sapphire which beat it
@@daoud1256Yeah we all know that but try buying one. Yeah right you can’t so until then it’s a joke.
Please dont make assumptions about what i can afford or try to make it personal. I simply pointed out there was a drag race head to head comparison, sapphire won it. Yes its expensive and so are many other vehicles. All of these things have just become silly pissing matches between production companies without real world usability. Just buy the car you like and/ or can afford. I dont think of any of these cars is the car i would like to track, just my opionion.
@@daoud1256 The Plaid is very affordable and it has more real world usability than pretty much any sedan regardless of price. It is the safest sedan ever made, has a ton of cargo space, seats 5 super comfortably, has the best infotainment system, it's the only one with real full self driving, has the best software, best phone app, best range, best and super convenient charging network, super family friendly. I have owned one for 2 years and it is by far the best car on the road and extremely practical.

For how low the price of the Model S Plaid (86k USD brand new) is, it's outright criminal for the Germans to charge that much extra money!
So why is the track package so much more expensive than the normal Plaid?
@@sillimilli3802 carbon ceramic brakes are stupid expensive on literally any car.
There’s more to a cars price than the performance.

@@marclangman4836 I think really the only thing the Audi and Porsche have over the Tesla is a more traditional interior layout and better looks. Tesla is better at pretty much anything else from packaging to thermal management to range, practicality. Handling used to be the weak point of Tesla's, but with the track pack the plaid smashed the taycan on its own turf which is the Nurburgring by over 5 seconds and it's $50000 cheaper and fully loaded at that price while Porsche charges you extra for a sunroof
Great video!! I love that Tesla S Plaid! Just all around amazing car! Yes,bring him on more videos and Give Rory a raise for doing such a great job!
Hi Rory, This is my first encounter with your video ( on comparison bet. Tycan and E Tron). I have been watching just so many car videos with all great and popular testers, I just found that YOUR video is best so far for me, as non-english speaking Japanese as I am, Your narration seems more understandable, as well as more logical and down to earth, so to speak, to me. another words I became an instant fan of you and your video. Hope you keep up with your good work.
Impressive video. Rory never disappoints. I'd love to see all three EVs tested on something other than a drag strip, a depiction of real driving scenarios.
It took Tesla only 1 year to surpass the Taycan turbo S since it was launched in 2019, the Plaid has been on the market for +3 years and is still unbeatable (except for a Lucid, but it costs almost three times as much) and Tesla since 2020 There is still room for improvement for the Plaid and without forgetting that the Roadster is in development, Tesla engineers are definitely crazy
It’s not difficult to understand it simply comes down to who has more bhp!
It’s only fast in a straight line
@@logical_lb3059 did you not see the plaid in Nürburgring?
The tri-motor drivetrain was first introduced in the Tesla Roadster 2.0 back in 2017. So they've had the technology for a while now.
Also, after the Plaid delivery event, Franz (Chief designer) said that the new motors are capable of a lot more power but were software locked. So yea, Tesla engineers are definitely a crazy bunch.
There are a few cars that can beat the Plaid now (such as the Rimac Nevera and McMurtry), however to be fair they are not mass produced and cost upwards of around £2m and £1m respectively. For a mass produced car that is arguably "affordable" for people, the Plaid is still incredible especially now it has the track pack.
“i have no excuse yet but it wasn’t my fault “ if I had a nickel every time a woman said that….😂😂😂
You would have 1 nickel 😂
The Tesla is insanely fast. Such a pretty looking monster. I wish it did better with breaking. All three cars are really superb though the color of Rory's was... 😂
It actually does fine with braking with the new brakes they sell
The Track pack comes with more extreme track tyres which defo didn’t help with wet braking. Carwow have tested it in the dry and it performed much better.
This brake test was won by the car with the better tire and lower weight. Brakes (even stock) are really good from 100mph on the Plaid. The problem is the stock brakes on the Plaid will give you two back to back stops from 100 mph before they start to take a shit, whereas the Track pack can do it all day long.
These 100-0 brake tests I mean, even with all the Carwow ones, who is checking the drivers are actually braking exactly at the line they’re supposed to? Highly doubt most are.
Id get the taycan anyday if im getting an electric car it wouldnt be for the speed lmao it would be a cruiser with great interior and great to look at. In terms of looks the porsche looks the best by a mile
I want to see a Tesla model 3 plaid, same power train as the S plaid, but 1800kg and much smaller body. I wonder if anything can beat that in a drag race.
The model 3 battery is not prepared to deliver so much power, in fact the Plaid's motors are limited, they can together deliver more than 1200hp, in vehicles with large battery capacity and very high voltages such as Cybertruck and Semi, it is more reasonable to use them in them.
@@Albert69-Correct and that's where the 4680 batteries become the solution. That tech has been a challenge for Tesla but they finally made it in the Ctruck so we will see.
IMO the m3p only needs more top end. It really does lose quite a bit of power after 70mph. It doesn’t need to be plaid fast. Just needs to have a 1/4mile trap speed that suits it’s 0-60. Something like 125-130mph
@@louisolivierfortin $25k more will get you that in the Model S LR. 10.6 @ 129mph easily but they limited the top speed to 144mph which is fine.
It’s called a roadster
I have a plaid, no way was this thing getting full traction in the wet. It hardly gets full traction in the dry.
Right?😂
In dry it is doing 9.3 sec 1/4 mile at over 150 mph.
@@genderlessyoutubefanperson 9.7

That Tesla is just unbelievable. It’s worth every single penny. It’s a 5 seater family car its a rocket that can literally beat anything on the road.

@@G82Watts Until you have to charge it lmao. Thankfully Tesla is opening up their network but v3 superchargers probably don't support 800 volt very well hence why Cybertruck can split it's battery into two 400 volt batteries.
The part that most people don't get is how hard/expensive it is to build a 9.6s internal combustion car to run 9s consistently. And this comes with something like the equivalent of 80+ mile per gallon, and a warranty. Even look at the Dodge Demon 170. Needs a prepped surface, slicks and skinnies to run it's high 9. And I am pretty sure it gets probably 8 miles per gallon!
The other thing people don't get about EVs is that the engineers actually have to tune the performance DOWN to a level the car can handle. If you unleashed the actual limit of the motors it could sheer the axles. In fact when Richard Morgan of Classic Electric Cars put an old Tesla motor in an 80s Porsche 928 he twice had to replace the axles with stronger ones because they couldn't handle the torque.
@@trevorberridge6079 if you put 1000hp engine into a car that weighs 1200 lbs less than a plaid and has 2x the range, yes it too will snap propshafts lol. there is nothing magical about a electric motor. the antiquated way in wich it charges, and the fact that it looses power but has the same weight makes it a dinosaur. try racing the plaid when it has 20% power, against say a 911 turbo with 20% fuel lol. gets lighter yet delivers 100% power.
@@ct1762 A Plaid with 20% SOC will do 9.94 seconds on the 1/4 mile trapping 136 mph, which is still faster than a 911 Turbo. Sure there's nothing magical about an electric motor, but the plaid is the only production vehicle out there with a carbon wrapped motor which solves the problem of electric vehicles having bad top speed.
Also, a 911 Turbo with a full tank is slower than if it only had 20% fuel right?
@@Runescapian0wnerwith about 60 liters of fuel, absolutely
This was very entertaining, well done all three of you and the vehicles.
5:29 Nathan was struggling to catch his breath. 😂
Is it possible the Audi braked the best because it has standard steel brakes and the carbon ceramics on the Tesla and Porsche didn’t perform well wenn wet and cold?
Its wet, you'd get a different result every time, more importantly Plaid proved itself after outbraking the Chiron
The Audi has ceramics
Mad to think
In nhra drag racing (the usa sanctioning body) any car that runs 150mph or over in the 1/4 mile needs a roll cage and a parachute😮😮
Nathan, only give Rory a deserved pay rise, 50p an hour will do it, if he can go an entire month without saying super 😂😂
I think Rory's chipping away at a pay rise in his super
Gees...the speed of that Plaid.
I love it when you guys do these shows!❤🎉😅
1 car is a jet and the others are ships😂😂😅😅
Can you get hold of the Zeekr 001 FR version, has similar HP with the plaid.
The Model S doesn't give full power till 70-80MPH. In other words stabbing the accelerating from 50mph feels faster than from a start. In other words more g force from a rolling start between 5-70mph versus from 0mph
It felt more violent to me off 30, rather than 70.
it spins the wheels till 160 kmh
Why does your "Tesla Plaid Model S Track Pack" have the 21" stock (optional) arachnid rims and not the actual 20" Track Pack Rims? Looks like it might just have the brake kit but it's hard to tell.
Don’t know how much he’s getting now, but regardless Rory deserves a pay raise… I wouldn’t even be watching this channel if it weren’t for him, and I’m quite certain there are more than a few other subscribers who’d say the same.
Gots to love Merica
Tesla's a beast 💪🏾😎
Good Ole Telsa showing the German kids how it's done
You are aware there’s a 300bhp difference??? Shall we give the Porsche 1000bhp and the Tesla 760?
@nickl3434 You do understand that the Porsche Taycan costs 2x of the Plaid and still gives you 300 hp less right? 🤣
@@Cookiebit21 So bored of this tired illogical excuse... Why didn't Porsche add 500 more HPs then considering it costs more than TWICE the price??? Also, you are aware that the Porsche has a lot less space, lot less range, no FSD, no OTA, no charging network, is less safe, etc?
Only if we compare performance in a straight line, but even that not if you do many times in a row. In every other aspect of a car, the Germans win flat out (driving, build quality, brakes, etc.)
@banditbanger13 You sure about that ? Match prices and you'll see nothing can hold a candle to a Plaid with track package.. Taycan Turbo goes well past 2x of the price and can't keep up with the Plaid without track pack on the Nurburgring
Thought I was on Carwow for a second there
Rory is the man Nathan!
The man that deserves a pay rise 🎉
It's funny how carwow won't do a drag race between the Model S Plaid and the Taycan. Wonder if they are afraid to upset the German fanboys. Thanks for the great video!
There is not much point really, as the result is already known. The Taycan beat the Old Model S Performance (Car Wow did this), however it definitely won't beat a Plaid. You need a Rimac Nevera, McMurtry, or a highly modified Mclaren 720s to achieve this. So really this race would just be going through the motions 🤷
That's Tesla Plaid is brutal fast!
Rory deserves a pay raise

Nice video. From memory, does your RS etron GT long-termer have the ceramic brakes compared to the Taycan and Plaid, couldn't make out if the other two had normal or ceramics? Biased here but I love my RS etron GT CV, astonishing car (but that Tesla's performance looks bonkers!). Keep up the great work and I'd say both Rory and Alex deserve the pay rise ;)

This was one of the most satisfying drag race videos to watch as of late. The launches were superb. Now then, the Lucid Air Sapphire has something to say,to find out take it to the track against the Tesla Model S Track Pack. 👌🏾

I’m a Tesla owner and I keep my car for years. I’m ecstatic that my next Tesla will be less money for more features. That means less tax and less insurance fees too. I can now buy a plaid for less than my original much slower model S. And I love that!
If people are concerned about resale, buy used or lease. I don’t care to still pay 12k for a cell phone like they used to be.
That only reason why the launch was even close was because it was wet. The Plaid is traction limited at launch even with dry pavement. I've driven all the VAG variants and bought the Plaid. If you want rip your head off acceleration that is the car to get. Add on the track pack brakes like I did and you have all the bases covered. The Porsche and Taycan may be a bit plusher inside but I dont' really care about that. The S is good enough and just crushes the other cars. Finally a car that where I don't miss riding one of my hyperbikes.
I cant believe it the tesla is so fast :0 i drove the etron and pulling it on to the highway i allmost past out 😂
I wish you could do more drag races from now on
Rory needs a pay rise! Fantastic race. I own a Model S P100D, reckon that is similar to the Porsche. More of Nathan, and he should get a Plaid! Thanks for a great channel.
Not really, the Taycan Turbo S is even faster than the newer Generation Raven Model S Performance. But the Tesla Rival to Taycan Turbo S is the actual normal Model S Lr, because it seems that it's extremely near in Performance, the Plaid is a completely nother level, Porsche has to deliver a new Model to compete with that
The drag race and rolling races are a clear cut win for a tesla. Though i feel like you guys shouldve done a track test on all three...after all this is the plaid track pack! The track pack main highlight is on top speed and track performance, handling and braking! Gotta see what the "track" in track pack brings to the table

Why didnt you repeat the brake test in dry conditions, as you did with the accelleration test?
Also it would be interresting to know if there where the tires out of track package have been on the Tesla, or if there where the standards.
It didn’t stop raining long enough. These were Michelin PS4S. The track tyres aren’t supplied in the UK.
What race track is this?
Love the way the motors sound on these fantastic cars.
Really? The motors sound like nothing. They soy boy cars. A zl1, shelby, or hellcat is 10x more fun to drive. Plus they don't run on soy beans.
@@kiddd65 Spoken like someone who is to much of a p***y to handle quick cars. Go back to your momma if you can't handle ACTUALLY quick cars. If you have a crazy fast petrol car for the dragstrip that's cool but not road worthy. The Zl1 is a great track car...(Losses to a slightly modified Model S on the nurburgring. By modified I mean simply adding a rear spoiler... the one on the Camaro will do!). Hellcat is a one trick pony that can't even do its only trick better than a Tesla. While the Tesla may be more expensive it has more than 2 seats and can do dragstrip stuff making it more than just a track car.
@@kiddd65 They make great sounds... until you lose your hearing. 20 minutes of 100db sounds can cause permanent damage... that doesn't make you cool or brave that just makes you deaf. Cars competing with the plaid go 110db plus! That means in just 2.5 minutes you're permanently damaging your hears! Stupidity.

I think the most impressive feat was only doing 144mph in the 1/4 in the plaid on their dry test.

Awesome race
the braking performance of the Plaid is better than expected
There is the Lusid???
Rory and Alex deserve are pay raise.
You should have done a 5%-80% battery charge test as well. All cars on fastest public chargers.
I don't really like the X% to Y% charge tests. They don't tell you much. For example, one could have an EV with a battery pack half the size of another and it would charge from 5%-80% faster than the larger one. But who cares that it is faster from 5%-80% since it is an apples to oranges comparison. Also one could have an EV with the same size pack as another but that is half as efficient in miles per kWh while driving. So again if it charged 5%-80% faster than the more efficient one that doesn't mean much since it is getting only half the miles out of the same sized pack charging from 5%-80%.
I prefer a test that breaks down how many approximate miles of range each EV gets from 20 or 30 minutes of the fastest charging they can take. Then as one extra metric, what their maximum range is on a full charge since that is how you start out on a road trip.
Kinda irrelevant test. What matters is how convenient is each car on a normal roadtrip. Not a contest as only one has an actual practical, working, ubiquitous charging network. Starts with T, ends with esla.
You should do drag races more often.
I only watch these vids because of Rory. He needs a raise!
Those tesla’s rims are not the track pack ones are they?
I wonder if I can tune my Audi to turbo S specs?
you're a cool 20+% off with the Plaid price in your graphic while you list the others with their naked base prices.... gj..
Y'all let the CEO win coz y'all gave him a much faster car 😂😅
Soo you guys had a carwow drace race and didn't invite young Matthew Watson 😂
Red color Plaid owner here, daily driver to work and take kids to school, fun car to be in, kids love the games and fart sounds it makes
Omg easy win 😮
Braking in the wet is tough when those carbon rotors are not at temp. When they are they stop the plaid from 70 at 137ft. That's hypercar good brakes. The r-compound tires and dampening tweeks are good for 1.2G's in a corner, but terible in the rain.
Rory deserves a pay raise!! We deserve a subscriber!! LOVE THE VIDEOS!!!
Wrong day to drag race those. 🌧️ ☔️ 😂
Pay raise for Rory. Asap 🎉
No surprises in acceleration, despite the wet weather. Britain is the only place that is fine with doing acceleration and braking tests on wet ground. But I suppose that it can't be helped. Still, considering the conditions, it was a good comparison.
Rory deserves a pay rise 👏 🙌 🙏
thank god tesla gave the plaid good brakes
After a long waiting 😂😂
Outbrakes a 4M SS Chiron with the world's biggest and most powerful ceramic brakes and 400lbs lighter than the Plaid ⚡️🇺🇸
Can u please try a Tesla model S Plaid Track Package vs Nevera 🙏🙏
I dare you to bring the lucid next time @AutoTrader
I think a better match would have been the standard Model S, not the Plaid.
Even a Model X would beat them 😂
