    Tesla Model S Plaid Has Unofficially Beaten Porsche Taycan Nurburgring Lap By 29 Seconds

    A new report from Auto Motor und Sport is suggesting that the Tesla Model S Plaid prototype has fired in an unofficial Nurburgring lap of just 7 minutes and 13 seconds. For those who didn’t read the title, that is an astonishing 29 seconds quicker than the Porsche Taycan Turbo.

    This is blisteringly quick but Tesla claims it will be capable of conquering the Nurburgring in seven minutes and five seconds. This time isn’t official yet, however, so we’re still waiting for Tesla to confirm it.

    Somehow they (Tesla) managed to get hold of a piece of free track and were able to burn twice 7:13 minutes into the asphalt from our local source, hand-stopped. Thus, the Tesla again undercut his also unofficial time of 7:23 minutes from the previous weeks. Aboard the blue Tesla Model S sat the designated Nordschleife expert and racing driver Thomas Mutsch.

    When Tesla first showed up at the ‘Ring with the Model S Plaid, everyone thought it was simply a one-off car with no intention for production. However, that quickly changes as Tesla CEO Elon Musk later announced that a Plaid Model S is production bound, which means that buyers will actually be able to own this bonkers electric car, but it surely won’t be cheap.

    As you can see in the shots included, this is certainly not your regular Model S. It sports wider fenders, a rear spoiler and some wider HRE wheels wrapped in sticky rubber.

This indicates that the owner has a Mercedes-AMG One hypercar on order. Let's hope it makes its way to SA!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
