A small team packed up their baby, drove 1,000 miles and used public roads to warm up for a series of high stakes battles. By the end they had saved 16 seconds on the clocks that had previously been production car benchmarks.
Mat Watkins lined up his Tesla Model S Plaid at the start of Carwow’s drag strip, the air thick with the smell of fresh asphalt and high stakes. Across from him stood the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, a four-door from the Chinese electronics giant that had quietly entered the electric car market.
