The Tesla Model S Plaid & egrave; back to the N & uuml; rburgring probably to attempt a record lap and become the most electric 4-door fast. Currently, this record is; held by the Porsche Taycan (7 minutes and 42 seconds) which had obtained the fastest lap in 2019; fast with test driver Lars Kern at the wheel. The spy photos are very clear and show the American electric during some laps of the track necessary to prepare for the attempt of the primacy that could already happen; over the next few days. Swedish driver Andreas Simonsen should be in the driver's seat.
From the images you can see some interesting details. First of all, in the cockpit & egrave; there is a roll-bar that can be glimpsed through the rear windows. The car also has a traditional steering wheel and not of the yoke model normally present. A choice probably dictated by the fact that a classic steering wheel is; more effective in driving on the track than the particular one introduced on the electric sedan. Car details aside, it seems all set for Tesla to try to break the record of the German electric sports car.
THE PREVIOUS OF 2019
There & # 39; & # 39; & egrave; to say that the Model S Plaid was already; took to the track at the N & uuml; rburgring in 2019 when it was still a prototype . At the time, it seems that it had achieved a time of 7 minutes and 13 seconds, therefore, much better than that of the Taycan. However, no one had been able to certify it.
The goal seems to be going to be even more; ambitious since Elon Musk a few months ago declared that his sports electric sedan had the potential; to go under the 7-minute wall . We will do it & agrave; really? We will probably find out soon. Surely if the electric sedan will succeed; in this endeavor, the CEO of Tesla will not miss; to communicate it. After all, Americans really like these records to enhance the performance of their cars.
We remind you that the manufacturer, for his Model S Plaid, declares over 1,020 HP/750 kW (powertrain with three electric motors) , a 0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds and a speed; maximum speed of 322 km/h . In Italy, the prices of this model start at 129,990 euros. Should the new record really arrive, Porsche's response will probably not be made & agrave; wait.
