    Tesla Model S Plaid Revealed With 1,020 HP (761 kW)

    Tesla has revealed pricing and specs for its updated Tesla Model S, offering numerous changes inside and out for the all-electric luxury sedan plus the introduction of a two-pronged triple-motor Plaid high-performance model line-up.

    Firstly, the Model S Long Range combines two electric motors for an estimated range of 663 km and a 0 to 100 km/h time of 3.2 seconds.

    Next up, the Plaid introduces three high-performance electric motors for a total power output of 1,020 hp (761 kW), equating to a radical 0 to 100 km/h time of 2.1 sec, a quarter-mile time of 9.23s at 155 mph and a range of 628 km. To put that into perspective, that will beat the likes of the McLaren 765LT, Porsche 911 Turbo S and nearly a Bugatti Chiron on the drag strip. If these claimed numbers are correct, it would become the quickest production car in the world once it’s launched.

    That is not all as they are also offering a Plaid+ version a bit later this year which will boast a whopping 1,100 hp (820 kW) which will of course lower the 0 to 100 km/h sprint and improve the quarter-mile times but also apparently pack an 840 km range.

    As you will see in the images below, the interior has been given a substantial update with the aircraft-inspired steering wheel grabbing immediate attention.

    The brand claims the new wheel is “the ultimate focus on driving: no stalks, no shifting. With a stalkless steering yoke, you can enjoy both the best car to drive, and the best car to be driven in”.

    Sitting in the centre of the dashboard of both cars is a new 17-inch infotainment touchscreen inspired by that of the Model 3, featuring satellite navigation, Internet functionality and the American brand’s signature array of video streaming, games, ‘easter eggs’ and miscellaneous novelty applications.

    Don’t you wish we got these cars in South Africa?

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.

    • It has been quite some time since this Koenigsegg CCXR was seen in South Africa but it made an appearance today and @thecarscene_ managed to snap it in Cedar, Fourways.

As far as we know, there are only 2 Eggs in SA. This one and an orange CCX in East London which has also not been seen in quite some time.

    • #WideWednesday showing off this bold Urus sporting the Novitec Esteso widebody and aero kit done by @race1_ 

It also packs a full Supersprint exhaust so you will certainly hear it before you see it coming.
