Porsche Taycan Turbo GT v Tesla v Audi RS GT: DRAG RACE

Change your vehicle with Carwow:

It's time for an almighty all-electric drag race!

We've got our hands on 3 of the quickest, most powerful EVs cash can purchase – the GT, the Tesla Model S , and the , and we will see which is quickest over the quarter mile!

So let's take a look at the statistics. Starting with the , it's powered by two electrical motors, and when it's in launch control mode these can provide 1,034 hp and 1,240 Nm of torque. This power is sent out to all four wheels, and the car weighs in at 2,365 kg. As brand-new, the costs around ₤ 186,000.

Similarly to the Porsche, the Audi can only provide its top performance in Release Control mode, with its 2 motors integrating to produce 925hp and 1,027 Nm. It's also equipped with 4 wheel drive, and it ideas the scales at 2,395 kg. If you're looking to select one of these up brand-new, it will cost around ₤ 144,000.

Then lastly we have the Tesla. It's the only cars and truck here with 3 electrical motors, and they combine to produce 1,020 hp and 1,420 Nm, which is subsequently sent out to all 4 wheels. Not just is the Tesla the lightest car here, but it's also the most affordable, can be found in at 2,190 kg and ₤ 115,000 respectively.

The Plaid has triumphed in many drag races in the past, so does either the Porsche or the Audi stand a chance? There's only one method to find out for sure … LET'S RACE!

Thanks to everybody who assisted establish this race:

    Would be good to see the battery level of each car too as the drag races happens. Makes a difference to the pulling power

    1. @pouyaoskouie6350 Avatar
      @pouyaoskouie6350

      it does, and massivly too – plaid owner here. at 100 percent you are pulling probebly around 1050hp at any speed. At below 70 percent you start noticing the power dropping off at the higher speeds. At below 50 percent im guessing you might be getting less than 60-70 percent of max power at higher speeds. At low speeds its pretty unnoticable above 30 percent.

      The Audi only has 750hp. For a few seconds it has 925hp. The Porsche has 1,034hp, and for a few seconds with boost it even has 1,108hp. It was actually clear that the Audi had no chance here because it is also the heaviest.
