Suzuki Hayabusa vs Tesla Model S Plaid in a drag race

The Tesla Model S Plaid, with its tri-motor setup, can produce 1,020 horsepower, and even take down the Audi TT RS in a similar race.

Unlike many cars that dominate drag racing, the Plaid remains completely stock and unmodified, but still leaves everyone impressed.

Its 0-60 mph time is just 1.99 seconds and can complete the quarter mile in 8.56 seconds in ideal conditions.

On the other hand, once the world’s fastest production motorcycle had always been the biker’s choice.

With a top speed of more than 186 mph, the Suzuki Hayabusa has always been known to dominate the racing world.

The race was about the modern EV vs the traditional superbike.

There was a clear winner

The race took place at Las Vegas Speedway, pitting the two vehicles against each other in a quarter-mile race.

The Hayabusa managed to complete the race in 9.43 seconds and reached a top speed of 139.04 mph (224 km/h). Meanwhile, the Tesla Model S Plaid finished in 9.81 seconds at 145.33 mph (233 km/h).

People were quick to share their thoughts on the race in the comments section, with one person joking: “Busas: Fast as they are ugly,”

Another user said: “Now… let’s see if that Plaid can do a wheelie.” Defending Plaid, one commentator argued: “I think Plaid could have got him if he had got out of line better.”

Despite the results, Tesla vehicles still stand out as some of the fastest electric cars in straight races.
