Tesla Model S Plaid broke the Laguna Seca California record
A Tesla Model S Plaid set a record for the fastest electric car on the Laguna Seca track with a lot of changes for car racing. This record is only 1 second away from the overall track record set by a McLaren Senna.
Tesla has introduced the S Plaid, which is equipped with three electric motors and reaches a speed of 96 km / h in less than 2 seconds, with the aim of showing its power in making high-performance products.
Tesla's Unplugged performance tuner has prepared an S Plaid model for car racing and record-breaking. However, no changes have been made in the powertrain section, and only the use of aerodynamic kits and extensive lightening inside the room to reduce the weight and upgrade the braking system is enough.
As a result, with the maximum power of 1020 hp of this model, we are practically facing a race car.
Now the Tesla tuner has announced that with the driving of Randy Pobst, the famous American driver was able to set a record of 1 minute and 28.2 seconds at the Laguna Seca track in California.
All other fast times on the track were recorded by Randy Pobst himself, and he was able to break the record set by the Porsche 911 GT2 RS.
Earlier, Tesla had set the record for the fastest time recorded with an electric vehicle on the track with prototypes of the S Plaid model.
