LAMBORGHINI REVUELTO VS TESLA MODEL S PLAID: DRAG RACE

EV Channels Review

This video pits the new Lamborghini Revuelto against the Tesla Model S Plaid in a series of drag races and rolling contests. While the Revuelto boasts a powerful V12 hybrid powertrain producing 1,015hp, the Tesla Model S Plaid matches it with 1,020hp from its three electric motors. Initially, the Revuelto struggles with launches and incorrect driving modes, leading to Tesla victories. However, after discovering the correct 'Corsa' mode and improving its launch technique, the Revuelto demonstrates impressive performance, narrowly beating the Tesla in the final standing quarter-mile race with a time of 9.9 seconds compared to the Tesla's 9.8 seconds. Rolling races show the Tesla's instant torque advantage, but the Revuelto eventually pulls ahead, particularly when driven optimally. The review highlights the Tesla's superior braking performance (even with upgraded brakes on the featured car) and the Revuelto's more engaging driving experience and premium interior, despite some Italian car quirks like indicator placement and potential electronic issues.
