    Tesla Model S Plaid Faster Than McLaren P1 Around Laguna Seca

    Just last week we confirmed that the fastest Tesla ever will be revealed next year and now we see it can rip it around corners too.

    Elon Musk confirmed deliveries of the Model S Plaid will begin towards the end of the year and if you are in line to get one, you will be very glad to hear this news.

    As seen in the video below, a prototype* managed to lap Laguna Seca in 1:30.3 (driven by Johannes Van Overbeek) which makes it faster (albeit only 0.4 seconds) than the mighty McLaren P1.

    Beating a million-dollar hypercar is no mean feat considering that the Tesla Model S Plaid is priced from $139,990.

    If the performance figures are accurate and judging by this impressive lap, then the Tesla Model S Plaid will become the fastest accelerating production car in the world.

    *The prototype was wearing Michelin Sport Cup 2 with specific gum that will be available when the car is released. Apparently very similar to Cup 2 R tyre.

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?
