It’s time for another petrol v electric drag race!

We’ve brought back the Tesla Model X Plaid, and it’s going up against a Nissan GT-R NISMO!

So let’s check out the stats. Normally the GT-R is powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 that can produce 600hp and 650Nm of torque. However, it’s been tuned, and as a result, it can now produce an amazing 810hp and 890Nm of torque! This power is sent to all four wheels, and it tips the scales at 1,725kg.

Then alongside it we have the Tesla. It’s powered by three electric motors, and these combine to produce 1,020hp and 1,420Nm of torque. But even though it’s up on power, it’s also well up on weight compared to the GT-R, weighing in at 2,539kg!

So the Tesla is a fair bit more powerful, but it’s also a whole lot heavier! But will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
