The amount of horsepower doesn't actually affect your initial launch. A higher horsepower only comes into play at higher speeds since if you try to spin the wheels at maximum power right from the get go, you'll just spin them up and get nowhere. The formula for calculating the amount of horsepower you need is power (in watts) = mass of the car * current speed of the car ( in metres per second ) * acceleration required ( in metres per second squared ) Since cars are traction limited, the acceleration can only be so high and hence the power of the car only becomes a limiting factor at higher speeds since the power required to maintain the same acceleration is directly proportional to the speed of the vehicle. This is why the porsche can keep up with the others launch and or beat them, since at the launch its not the horsepower that counts but the ability to limit wheelspin and limit the acceleration to as close to the value that the friction allows.
Yeah the two faster cars reduce the power at the start. Just the expected behaviour. As soon they're on the roll it's time to say bybye for the Turbo S

Another great video! But Matt, you have to practice your launches in Plaids! The other cars are using launch control, but in the Plaid you didn't use Drag Strip mode or put the car in Cheetah stance for a much better launch.
It's unbelievable on how consistent the Porsche is with its launches, even if the tires are cold. Hats off to Porsche for their masterpiece of engineering.
Well, it has a traction advantage because of the weight of the engine in the back. Hardly a 'masterpiece of engineering'. And it still consistently lost btw.
@@kevlard yet it consistently gets 10.0-10.3 every single time I see it do a 1/4 mile on the street. The SF90 and Plaid are way more inconsistent with their times.

Plus it has 350 less HP than the SF90 and Plaid yet was only half a second slower and probably got equal 0-100 times.

Regenerative braking + extreme fine tuning of the brakes... Also these were the same discs that are standard on the Model Y, new Plaid units have even better brakes (red calipers)

I was so impressed with the Porsche Turbo S, I just bought one! I'm loving this car. I have a Tesla Model S Plaid but the Porsche is a much better sports car. The feel and handling are superb.
Model S Plaid does 9.2 or 9.3 on standard road. Either lower battery charge or launch control was not used. Or both. In ideal conditions Model X Plaid does 9.7.
It's due to selecting a car with 21" wheels that make it almost 1/2 second slower than stock wheels like I have on my plaid, which consistently runs 9.30s in the 1/4 and low 9.20s on my best runs.
@@rsmith1168 Always an excuse and an explanation, isn't there? What you see in that video is what a Plaid will do in the real world on the wheels and tyres most people choose for them. We could obviously stick a set of Hoosiers on the SF90 and see what's what.
That brake check was really surprising! So steels on the Plaid work as intended. 1st time=great. Back2back=bad/terrible. On the Porsche it got worse too, just not terrible. Ceramics on the SF90 showed why ceramics are used on the track. Back2back braking=great.
My understanding is previous poor Tesla braking was a result of winter tires. I’m guessing they have summer tires now for this test. Obviously repeated braking would favor the European cars, but one time stops aren’t as bad as it is made out to be
Obviously a 1000hp fully electric will be fast. I don't know what's so impressive. The SF90 is an hybrid and the Turbo S is a petrol car. The 911 is way more impressive.
@@hotlinebling2851Exactly. People, rather I should say idiots, think it’s magic or something. Put 1000whp in any old shitbox and you’ll be running those times. When other proper car manufacturers that make REAL performance cars make their own with 1000+hp, these cheap iPads on wheels are going to go way down, in more ways than one.
You’ve seen the same video right? They tested acceleration and braking. It lost fairly badly to 2 other cars on acceleration. It lost to eco friendly 4 door saloon that costs much less. So impressive!
⚪ Plaid: a powerful battery (but wont last long) boring car 🔴 SF90: a super fast and beautiful sexy Italian super car ✅911 Turbo S: a real icon and legendary timeless machine with the most fun driving! So you choose the winner out of those!
The Porsche was exceptional when they launched at the same time. The second two races the Tesla jumped before the other two. Regardless, with far less horsepower the Porsche hung in there very well. I'm a Porsche guy, as you can see from my channel. ;)
Look at that porsche pulling away, pretty amazing if you know how fast those elecric vehicles pull off the line because of their immediate full power right from the start.
Just for the statistics it would be great if we can see the times of every one of the 3 races. I don't care if they will be in the video, description or comments. Sometimes to me it looks like some of the cars (drivers) perform best in their first launch and if that's the case it would be nice to have it after all :) P.S. It was a great race as always!

The final result can be obtained by calculation if we know exactly the input parameters of all driving resistances, such as inertial resistance F=m*dv/dt*v, rolling resistance of wheels F=m*g*f*cos(x), aerodynamic resistance F= 0.5*S*Cx*Ro*v^2, climbing resistance F=m*g*sin (x) and frictional resistance in the gearbox F= Mn.i/Rd*(1- n). The resulting engine performance during acceleration, e.g. from a speed of 80 km/h (22.22 m/s) to 120 km/h (33 m/s), if it takes 6 seconds and the weight of the vehicle is 1500 kg., the front surface of the vehicle S= 2m ^2, the drag coefficient air Cx=0.32, air density Ro=1.3, coefficient of rolling friction f=0. 015 and transmission efficiency at n=0. 95 is P=(m*dv/dt*v+ m*g*f*v+0.5*Cx*Ro*S*v^3)*1/n=(1500*((( 33.33-22 .22)/ 6) *33.33+1500*9.81*0.015*33.33+0.5*1.3*2*0.32*33.33^3 )*1/0.95= 121.413 kW An important parameter is the derivative of power according to momentum, where the result is acceleration dP /dp=a
The Tesla model S plaid a quick electric car that's actually fast! They did actually upgrade the standard brakes on their vehicles and with the track package that has carbon ceramic brakes the top speed is unlocked and the car was seen going as fast as 217+ MPH on a track and it could technically go faster! The plaid actually has a better launch in a rolling race than it does off the ground because at higher speeds the motors have a greater throttle curve!
It's quick, not fast. A hot hatch with ~300hp is quicker on a lap of the 'Ring. It's quick on a straight line for a couple of times, but it's a typical American brand; they have no clue what corners are 😉
@@l.d.r6653 I have been in one and yes it's fast, yet becomes boring very quickly. It doesn't feel like a good handling car though and for me personally, sound is emotion. Common EV issue of course, but without shifting, sound and so on, the drive becomes boring very very quickly.
@@l.d.r6653 As an example, drive the Plaid and then hop in an M5 CS. Same size, but feels so much better to drive. The confidence it gives you to go completely nuts through corners; now THAT'S what you want from a car in my opinion.

@@enoughofthis 1. it has 412km range left on the brake test,,, so it could be around 75-80'ish% SOC 2. Yes they said that car expensive but two other cars just twice or even 4x the price of the PLAID,, maybe they just hate EV so much especially Tesla,, 😁😁 3. Yes it had track Pack but not out yet,, available on June,, that's not gonna make the Plaid faster or a "Monster on The Track" but at least it could stop a lot better(more consistent) and perform a bit better on the Track,, 😁
Second launch, and third launch, Mat jumped the start by about 5 seconds, as usual. The first race was perfectly fair, all started moving at exactly the same time. Love to see these drag races done with a teeny tiny bit of accuracy, like at a proper drag strip with start lights and timing gear. Also would love to see a lap time comparo between these three cars. Problem is, the Tesla would only do a few laps before it needs to charge all night 😅
As an owner of a Porsche Taycan, although it pains me, I can honestly say bravo to Tesla and Elon Musk. They delivered on what they promised A family car with hypercar performance, for a fraction of any hypercar’s price
Model S clearly needed warmer tyres which is why it performed so much better each race. You probably warmed up the tyres of the other cars but it is important on the plaid too!
@@ericship8383 You mean in the 1/4 mile or in general? In the 1/4 mile no. Top speed? Eh. The Tesla can do 220mph when unlocked but 200mph in the real world with software limiter while the Ferrari can do a whopping 11mph more... and the porsche can do a whopping 5 mph more... Um... yay? The plaid is a 5 seater sedan so 200mph is really fricken fast. Ferrari does 211 and Porsche 205 btw.

Yeah and this Plaid I can tell you was not at its optimal 90% SOC. At 90%, Plaids easily hit 9.2-9.3s quarter mile times.This one was probably at 60% SOC or less.
@@ChosenMJ My fastest was 9.78 @ 144.04mph. I, for some odd reason, haven't gotten it to a strip yet. That was on I-95 at 2am on 21" Arachnids and Winter tires... Definitely faster than that! I have 19s on it now. I hope to go to the strip finally next week. But, to be honest, I think my car is unnecessarily fast, lol. I, also, don't realize any power difference until about 20% SOC. It drops drastically then. But at 8% I still smoke anything that pulls up within the last few stops lights going home from my regular long trips (I run it down to save on SC costs). My friends 2022 S LR is about the fastest anyone needs a family car to go, to be honest. My wife hates the Plaid's power, but my 14 y/o daughter loves our morning trips to school (two interstate on-ramps and a stoplight)!
@@carsbykev7037 Yeah the Plaid is just utterly insane. Even in "sport" mode it is a skoch faster that the LR. It's literally two cars in one. I'd probably run it in sport mode around town and it still can run mid 10's at 130mph. Honestly, I think it's one of the best car purchases available with all the tech, engineering and performance. Congrats and enjoy!
@@ChosenMJ I didn't know you drove one! I got like 10.6 in mine in sport as well, which is ridiculous! I think it's because the Plaid motor still has the ability to hold the powerband at whatever "Sport" hp is. Mine unfortunately is having an issue with "Passenger restraint system" which I think is about to end in me doing a Lemon law suit. It's been in many many times. That said: I've had all of the 2020+ performance models, and they were all great ('20 3P, 22' YP, '21 Plaid, '18 Model X, but Turo'd a '22 before buying the S Plaid). I had zero issues out of my other Teslas, all driven just under 30k miles in a year. I've put 29k on my Plaid (sitting at 42k now) and it's had that restraint issue the entire time. However, it's still the only car that I can drive 4k miles a month worry-free-ish while enjoying the performance and practicality (it fits more luggage / stuff than the Y due to the longer trunk). And now that I've replaced the yoke with the wheel, my wife will actually drive it sometimes. It's a great all-around vehicle, I just wish it had a tow-option as I towed a small trailer with the Y often.
@@carsbykev7037 Yeah I'm torn between the Plaid and the LR. I test drove both back in 2021 and there are numerous vids on YT of both cars of course the Plaid more than anything. If you can find out the best Tesla service center on record and see if they can be a liason to your local service center in resolving that issue. It can't be anything more than a sensor malfunction I would think but unfortunately service is something Tesla badly needs to work in some parts of the US. Just sounds like they are being lazy in resolving your issue.

The massive weight of the battery impairs handling. The EV do not have to worry about tailpipe emissions. They are actually EEVs(emissions elsewhere vehicles).

Despite being significantly down on horsepower compared to the other two, the Porsche didn't do bad at all, especially on launch.

Because he jumps the start most of the time and calls the roll race and can hit the gas way before everyone else. They should.rotate the drivers tbh

@@maxou5757 quicker*
@@maxou5757 it is technically a Tesla is abit cheaper build quality wise. There is a reason Porsche 911s don’t really depreciate. It comes down to true build quality, (source of parts.) engineering. That’s why you pay so much as you do for one. Porsche knows what they build is good.
@@alexturnqest6202 A bit cheaper ? It is TWICE the price of a Model S plaid, yet it is still extremely unpractical, slower, louder, less comfortable and cost a fortune to run and maintain. I dont care about the supposed ''quality''
It is quite interesting how "good" the Tesla performed in the break test despite the weight difference:
Force to break at 100mph:
Tesla: 2265kg -> Force: 2193kN
Porsche: 1785kg -> Force: 1727kN
Ferrari: 1570kg -> Force: 1520kN
That is a difference of almoast 500kN of Force between the Tesla and the Porsche, insane.

Model S Plaid does 9.2 or 9.3 on standard road. Either lower battery charge or launch control was not used. Or both. In ideal conditions Model X Plaid does 9.7.
Shamwow is infamous for putting up 1/4 mile times about a half second slower than anyone else.
It's due to selecting a car with 21" wheels that make it almost 1/2 second slower than stock wheels like I have on my plaid, which consistently runs 9.30s in the 1/4 and low 9.20s on my best runs.

@@AB-80X True
That brake check was really surprising! So steels on the Plaid work as intended. 1st time=great. Back2back=bad/terrible. On the Porsche it got worse too, just not terrible. Ceramics on the SF90 showed why ceramics are used on the track. Back2back braking=great.
What really happened was that the Ferrari improved and the two others stayed the same...
Don't think the plaid did any worse on the second, if they didn't 3rd you would definitely see a big difference.
Plaid with track package comes with ceramic brakes as standard and they're the same size as the ones fitted to GT2 RS.
My understanding is previous poor Tesla braking was a result of winter tires. I’m guessing they have summer tires now for this test.
Obviously repeated braking would favor the European cars, but one time stops aren’t as bad as it is made out to be

The final result can be obtained by calculation if we know exactly the input parameters of all driving resistances, such as inertial resistance F=m*dv/dt*v, rolling resistance of wheels F=m*g*f*cos(x), aerodynamic resistance F= 0.5*S*Cx*Ro*v^2, climbing resistance F=m*g*sin (x) and frictional resistance in the gearbox F= Mn.i/Rd*(1- n). The resulting engine performance during acceleration, e.g. from a speed of 80 km/h (22.22 m/s) to 120 km/h (33 m/s), if it takes 6 seconds and the weight of the vehicle is 1500 kg., the front surface of the vehicle S= 2m ^2, the drag coefficient air Cx=0.32, air density Ro=1.3, coefficient of rolling friction f=0. 015 and transmission efficiency at n=0. 95 is P=(m*dv/dt*v+ m*g*f*v+0.5*Cx*Ro*S*v^3)*1/n=(1500*((( 33.33-22 .22)/ 6) *33.33+1500*9.81*0.015*33.33+0.5*1.3*2*0.32*33.33^3 )*1/0.95= 121.413 kW An important parameter is the derivative of power according to momentum, where the result is acceleration dP /dp=a
The Tesla model S plaid a quick electric car that's actually fast! They did actually upgrade the standard brakes on their vehicles and with the track package that has carbon ceramic brakes the top speed is unlocked and the car was seen going as fast as 217+ MPH on a track and it could technically go faster! The plaid actually has a better launch in a rolling race than it does off the ground because at higher speeds the motors have a greater throttle curve!
It's quick, not fast. A hot hatch with ~300hp is quicker on a lap of the 'Ring. It's quick on a straight line for a couple of times, but it's a typical American brand; they have no clue what corners are 😉
@ EvilCouncil “fast” is relative. The plaid is scary fast for its size. If you haven’t been in one I consider giving it a try.
@@l.d.r6653 I have been in one and yes it's fast, yet becomes boring very quickly. It doesn't feel like a good handling car though and for me personally, sound is emotion. Common EV issue of course, but without shifting, sound and so on, the drive becomes boring very very quickly.
@@l.d.r6653 As an example, drive the Plaid and then hop in an M5 CS. Same size, but feels so much better to drive. The confidence it gives you to go completely nuts through corners; now THAT'S what you want from a car in my opinion.

Congrats and enjoy!
@@ChosenMJ I didn't know you drove one! I got like 10.6 in mine in sport as well, which is ridiculous! I think it's because the Plaid motor still has the ability to hold the powerband at whatever "Sport" hp is.
Mine unfortunately is having an issue with "Passenger restraint system" which I think is about to end in me doing a Lemon law suit. It's been in many many times. That said: I've had all of the 2020+ performance models, and they were all great ('20 3P, 22' YP, '21 Plaid, '18 Model X, but Turo'd a '22 before buying the S Plaid). I had zero issues out of my other Teslas, all driven just under 30k miles in a year. I've put 29k on my Plaid (sitting at 42k now) and it's had that restraint issue the entire time. However, it's still the only car that I can drive 4k miles a month worry-free-ish while enjoying the performance and practicality (it fits more luggage / stuff than the Y due to the longer trunk). And now that I've replaced the yoke with the wheel, my wife will actually drive it sometimes. It's a great all-around vehicle, I just wish it had a tow-option as I towed a small trailer with the Y often.
@@carsbykev7037 Yeah I'm torn between the Plaid and the LR. I test drove both back in 2021 and there are numerous vids on YT of both cars of course the Plaid more than anything. If you can find out the best Tesla service center on record and see if they can be a liason to your local service center in resolving that issue.

Of course i still take the Porsche tho...
The fact that the plaid is a 5seater is just WOW and for only that price
No even when it was for free I would have one.
@@derekwhoelse8359 what?
@@Nuke-MarsX A Tesla. I am not gay you see.
@@derekwhoelse8359 what exactly is "gay" about it, you people are hilarious
@@Nuke-MarsX Everything is gay on an EV.
the SF90 is so beautiful, and the paintjob is incredible
yesssss
If they used the new PLAID with upgraded ceramic brakes and uncapped top speed, it would have been even more unfair to the other 2.
minimum this time the Plaid wasn't only wintertimes like the X Plaid... that carwow never corrected this is a shame
And if they used a lucid it would be even more unfair to all 3 of them, or a bugatti pur sport ahahah
I didn't expect the Tesla to gap the Ferrari. That's interesting. Made me wonder what a Roadster could've been if applies what this Model S needs to be an even better car, but yeah, you know how Tesla is these days...
The Porsche? No surprises there, it's still fast, still so capable (even compared to 1000hp cars). The Ferrari's "always breaking" is pain for all of those Ferrari fans in F1. I felt that.
Seems like the roadster would a model 3 sized car with model s plaid power train and beefier suspension.
Tesla are junk cars get whooped on B-roads by MX5s and "roadster" 😂 yeah you lot have been saying that same thing for a decade now and still no "roadster" Embarrassing
The sf90 has a way better top speed though sf90 can do 240 plus mph without a limiter also the plaid has a way lower drag coefficient with 1200 hp actually that’s why it’s quickier even on higher speeds
That Turbo S wth around 800-900 hp will kill them all. Incredible car
so you need to tune a $230k Turbo S to beat the $108k sedan ?
@@alexz8373 Yes ;)
I absolutely love the new drone shots! ❤
Thank you so much Mat, Nick, Rory, Carwow staff, everyone who gave their cars and everyone who made this insane drag race possible!
hes done it many times before bro what u on about, theres millions tesla plaid drag races on utube
@@KevinColt its a bot..
Like always the Porsche a masterpiece of engineering 650hp and holding up with 1000hp cars.
Lol how much does TESLA weigh??
I don't think you understand what "holding up" actually means....Once the tyres were warm the Porsche might as well be stationary.
@@andycarollsuarez Well, when it wasn't a HP game, the Porsche reliably launched better than the 1000HP SF90 Ferrari. Only at high speed is the HP gap clear as day. So as a daily it will out-launch an SF90 and keep up with a Plaid. Pretty sick.
@@Samosayummyyay On a daily it won't keep up with a plaid....Doesn't mean the 911 turbo S isn't a great car...the plaid is just a whole different league in terms of acceleration and speed. What happened to the Plaid on the 1st run is a rare occurrence.
@@francisgomes9976 the Ferrari weighs less, ur point?
Would be great if they stack a tuned GTR with Plaid...
i remember that tuned GTR gives a leap gap to SF90 so to the Tesla...Who agrees..??
Tesla brakes were never bad (in terms of braking force), the problem Is brake fade not power, and in the Tesla you have 1020 HP meaning it as a toon of Regen, also the Tesla plaid now comes with higher thermal capacity brakes. Last time you tested a plaid you used winter tyres and didn't even mention it.
And most folks already know the Plaid is good for 9.2s quarter mile with an average driver and 9.3s on a bad day.
Did you know that it's just higher thermal PADS? I'm going to swap mine sometime in the future. That may be an easy fix.
@@carsbykev7037 New units have new high thermal capacity pads as standard (red calipers)
@@carsbykev7037 From what I've read upgrading the brake fluid is critical as well.
Everyone thinks they are gay
Would be nice if you shared with us the battery charge level, Matt, if you used cheetah stance with launch control, and also the tires on all 3
Yes. At this level of performance, tyre are so crucial.
Could not agree more, Matt would have made a big song and dance about waiting for it to get into Cheetah mode!
I have Tesla Model S 75D and want to upgrade to Plaid. Just incredible car.
That Tesla looks like a Ford saloon from the 90s! Who'd be seen in one of those?!
Something is off with the SF90 as I’ve seen many races with the SF90 up against the Tesla and always reeling it in with relative ease.
What are you talking about??
@@JH-Carbon exactly what he said pal😂 I've seen it too. Sewn plaid get reeled in by an old Suzuki Hayabusa at about 85mph so what other confirmation do you need?
@Big duphus AJ no, I mean where is that in the video? As far as I've seen, the tesla plaid was still pulling away from the SF90 in both the drag race and the rolling race, so what do you mean? And it being reeled in by a Suzuki? OK, now yall just being over dramatic. 😂
@@JH-Carbon theyve probably seen the old tesla model s ludicrous
A family car beating the ultimate ICE supercars. It’s utterly amazing
Yea that family car has 1200 hp and a better power to weight what’s funny is that the plaid would get smoked in top speed by the other two
@@ericship8383no one should logically care about top speed. At least where I’m from, America, you can’t use over half your speed dile so who cares if you can eventually go faster when it’ll never happen.
@@ericship8383oh and I don’t hate those cars either i think they are awesome but 0-60 is what I like in a car and EV’s are the 0-60 future
@@ericship8383 1020, almost same as Ferrari here but heavyer and still beat it
@@ericship8383 It's 1020 hp not 1200. And it has 5 seats and a massive trunk/frunk. It also has a massive battery it has to carry which btw gives it a longer range than the 911. An electric family sedan with a longer range absolutely smoking an ICE supercar is a big win in all aspects.
Plaid is such an incredible car 👍
That Tesla is outright impressive! I have to admit, ICE are awesome but EVs are awesomely mind-blowing!
🤡🤡🤡
Clown.
Cry harder old farts
The massive weight of the battery impairs handling.
The EV do not have to worry about tailpipe emissions. They are actually EEVs(emissions elsewhere vehicles).
@@rustin2380 aww, did he hurt you’re feelings.
I remember when the 720S was unbeatable for the longest time, then the current 911 Turbo S was unbeatable and to see it now come in last place is crazy
Everybody meets their better sooner or later…..
They need to do this again but next time with a plaid that has the track pack. Should be much better especially in braking performance.
And it would still be less expensive than the other two.
@@lookingatsunsets636 okay microwave on wheels
@@H.788 cope
@@H.788 Why microwave, bizarre.
9.7 is a slow time for the plaid amazed how much power they put down considering it’s a lot heavier than the SF90 and only a few more hp.
No 5 mile roll out
@@donn.4766 even on the top end if you did a race to top speed the plaid ungoverned can do 216 the SF90 211.
Matt always finds a way to grab the fastest car in the race.
I notice the same thing too lol.
He's a cryboy that's why...
He is the host after all...lol
@@nawedahmed8168 true, anyway the sf90 can run 9.6sec 1/4 mile... Something wrong here, i just love to see those beautiful cars here, but those drag race without any kind of professional speedometer are somehow pointless.
woow! Top of the crop! 🤩👍👍 The way 911 keeps up with cars 50% more powerful is mindboggling.
Tesla for the money is easily the best. Nice though, that the 2024 Tesla has a normal steering wheel and better brakes. Look forward to seeing it in future videos
Drag 4:45 roll race 7:50
since the sf90 looks way better than either of the other 2 and perfomance practically matched the plaid..... sf90 for me!
That turbo s absolutely incredible
8:06 I JUST CAN'T AT HIS REACTION 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Question question, all Plaids run 9.2 best (100% SOC ) up to 9.6 (40% SOC.)
How come yours is the slowest in the internet, did you run it with empty battery or it was done for comparison reasons?
Poor traction, the tarmac they test on likes light weight cars more than heavy cars.
@@miguellopez3392 No way, they're always getting good times for other cars, even the old Model S raven got 10.4s which is pretty much the fastest for that car... And yet with Plaid units every car including Teslas is extremely slow in every race on exactly the same surface, seems fishy to me
@lukabosnjak3829 yes I remember they tested the model X plaid with winter tires...
Thank you for the great videos. They are fun to watch but comparison around a track like Top Gear did would make more sense.
