It was easy for Tesla.
It is amazing to see electric cars go from being slow to one of the fastest-accelerating cars on the planet today. These high-performance, battery-powered cars can accelerate from 0-60 mph in a sub-3.0 second. Tesla is one of the first to demonstrate that EVs are fast.
We’ve seen many videos over the years of Teslas outrunning established performance cars. The Tesla Model S Plaid, for example, has defeated muscle cars as well as supercars. The Model S Plaid has been beaten by almost every fast fuel-fed car.
It’s possible that it will be different this year. The Tesla Model S Plaid is up against a supercar in this edition. The limited-run Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is that bull. This car can match the Plaid in straight-line combat. Let’s look at the stats.
The Aventador SVJ’s 6.5-liter V12 isn’t ‘corrupted by turbochargers. It produces 759 horsepower (558 Kilowatts) as well as 530 pound-feet (719 Newton meters) of torque. The SVJ is equipped with a single-clutch, seven-speed automatic transmission and transmits its power to all four wheels.
The Model S Plaid comes equipped with three powerful electric motors. All three motors produce 1,020 horsepower (760 Kilowatts) combined and 1,050 pound feet (1,420 Newton-meters). It seems obvious that this is the case with stats like these. The Tesla is heavier than the SVJ at 3,478 lb (1,577 kg).
In the end, however, it was brute force that won. Despite its heavy weight, the Model S Plaid was able to pass the AventadorSVJ without any problems. The Aventador SVJ fell into the clutches (or motor in this instance) of the electric vehicle even though it had a head-start. The SVJ was unable to stand a standing start. The large executive sedan could be described as a supercar that destroyed the high-priced, low-slung supercar valued at well over $500,000. The Plaid is a great value at $130,000.
Are you surprised at the conclusion? The Model S Plaid’s unbroken winning streak against other cars is still evident.
