Tesla Model S Plaid vs The Fastest Drone in the World: Epic Drag Race Battle

In the world of automotive technology and aerial innovation, speed remains the ultimate test of performance. Today, we witness a showdown unlike any other: a battle between terrestrial supremacy and airborne agility. I had the pleasure of watching a video on the carwow YouTube page where Mat Watson created an epic drag race battle. On one side, we have the innovative Tesla Model S Plaid, known for its electric power and incredibly fast acceleration. On the other, the world's fastest drone, created by the skilled engineers at Red Bull, designed to capture the swift maneuvers of Formula 1 cars.



In this epic drag race, these two titans of speed will go head-to-head in a high-stakes competition to claim the crown of velocity. Will the raw power of the Tesla win, or will the aerial finesse of the drone fly to victory?


Before we present you the result of this epic drag race battle, we need to mention that the Tesla Model S Plaid is equipped with three electric motors generating 1,020 horsepower and 1,420 Nm of torque. It weighs 2.2 tons and costs £95,000 (approximately €113,000). While the Red Bull Racing Drone, built by the Dutch company Dutch Drone Gods, weighs just under 1 kg and boasts about 5 horsepower.


As expected from the beginning, in this epic drag race battle, the Tesla Model S Plaid experienced traction issues due to a wet and slippery surface, affecting its ability to launch efficiently and resulting in a slower race time compared to the drone. The drone demonstrated impressive speed and acceleration. Despite the traction issues, the Tesla Model S Plaid managed to keep up with the drone during the race.


What is the result of the epic drag race battle between Tesla Model S Plaid vs The Fastest Drone in the world?


The Red Bull Racing Drone wins the race, completing the standing quarter-mile in 7 seconds, while the Tesla Model S Plaid takes 10.5 seconds.


What speed and acceleration does the Red Bull Racing Drone have?

The drone is capable of reaching speeds of around 210 to 220 mph (338 - 354 km/h) and has an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 2 seconds.


The epic drag race of Tesla Model S Plaid vs Red Bull Racing Drone was a thrilling display of speed and technology. Despite challenges, both machines showcased their impressive capabilities, leaving us amazed at what they could do.
