A Tesla Model S Plaid has achieved a new record quarter-mile run in a remarkable 8.56 seconds \u2013 though it appears to have been gutted quite a bit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Depending on your definition of a production car, the Model S Plaid is arguably the fastest-accelerating production vehicle in the world.<\/p>\n

Some will consider\u00a0the Rimac Nevara<\/a> to fit that bill, but we are talking about a $2 million vehicle in very limited production compared to a $90,000 vehicle produced in fairly significant volume.<\/p>\n

The Lucid Air Saphire can also be thrown into the mix with its impressive 9-second quarter mile and it has beaten the Model S Plaid on the drag strip before<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But it hasn\u2019t beaten this Model S Plaid:<\/p>\n

\n

This particular Model S Plaid was able to achieve an 8.56-second record quarter-mile run, but as you can see, the owner implemented some weight reduction by gutting the interior of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

To be fair, virtually all quarter-mile records are achieved through particular optimization, whether it has to do with weight, tire temperature, or track stickiness.<\/p>\n

Regardless, it\u2019s impressive to see a virtually stock $90,000 vehicle, or at the very least, no powertrain modification, achieving an 8.56s quarter-mile.<\/p>\n
