The Tesla Model S Plaid seems to be on another level, horsepower wise, when compared to the R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R, but that doesn’t mean the latter isn’t competition for Elon Musk’s creation in a drag race. At 4828-pounds, the Tesla Model S Plaid is powered by three electric motors generating 1020-horsepower, while the R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R weighs in at 3,432-pounds with a 2.5L RB26DETT engine making 650hp, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. Read more to see how both fared in the drag racing showdown.
Let’s just say that the R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R most certainly sounds much more aggressive, but when racing the Tesla Model S Plaid in a 1,000-foot drag race, things weren’t ever really that close. However, for the second race, the Tesla was set to “Chill Mode”, and in this scenario, the R34 was able to squeak by, mainly due to the fact that the former runs the quarter mile in 15-seconds instead of 9-seconds in this mode.
