The Dodge Hellcat vs the Tesla Plaid
The ICE-powered Dodge Hellcat costs 700+ horsepower via a powerful and supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine.
It can get from 97km/h (60mph) in a mere 1.66 seconds or 8.91 seconds to the quarter mile.
In short, the Hellcat family is one of the most powerful and fastest muscle cars in a straight line.
Meanwhile, the Tesla Model S Plaid packs 1,020HP via tri-motor electric technology.
That means its 97km/h (60mph) is 1.99 seconds with a top speed of 322km/h (200mph).
We’ve previously seen a POV of the Tesla Model S Plaid hitting record-breaking speed on the German autobahn.
The drag race
Buckle up for what was a bumpy ride on the drag race track and was recently shared by Drag Racing and Car Stuff.
After it’s seen warming up its tires before they line up at the start line and the light turns green, the Dodge Hellcat launched quickly due to its traditional muscle car acceleration.
In fact, it left its electric rival in the dust.
However, the Tesla Plaid gained ground rapidly with its superior electric drivetrain performance giving it the extra nudge it needed.
That means the Tesla Model S Plaid is the ultimate victor of the quarter-mile race, despite the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat’s strong start.
Maybe combining the best of both worlds or potentially a disaster, one man created the ‘Cybercat’, a Dodge Hellcat body on a Tesla Model S Plaid.
