Tesla Model X Plaid Crushes Lamborghini Huracan
Posted On: March 9, 2022

A Tesla Model X Plaid recently went head-to-head against a Lamborghini Huracan EVOin a quarter-mile race. While the all-electric flagship SUVintentionally missed its launch against the supercar, the drag race results between the two high-performance vehicles were just as expected.


Veteran drag racer Brooks Weisblat from YouTube’s DragTimes channel has been showcasing the Model X Plaid in a recent set of videos. Initially, the vehicle was taken through the quarter-mile to see if it would set new records for a production SUV. It did, with the Model X Plaid setting a record with a 2.3-second 0-60 mph time and a 9.7-second quarter-mile pass.


This time around, the Model X Plaid was not just competing with itself, since there’s a supercar on the next lane. Its opponent is no joke, either, as the Lamborghini Huracan EVOis nothing to scoff at. Even in its stock form, the $304k Huracan EVOfeatures 630 horsepower from its 5.2-liter V10 engine. The Huracan EVOdoes not have as much horsepower as the Model X Plaid, but it is far lighter, weighing over 2000 pounds less than the Tesla.


Despite this, the Model X Plaid still dominated the supercar. Even with Weisblat intentionally launching later than the Huracan EVOthe Model X Plaid still caught up to the Lamborghini without breaking a sweat. A few seconds later and the all-electric SUVwas crossing the quarter-mile mark.

My Take: I am not surprised. The ICE car technology cannot compare to a premium electric vehicle.
