The track package of Tesla’s new monster Model S Plaid has achieved great success at Germany’s famous Nürburgring race track. The Model S Plaid, which broke a new record in the electric vehicles category, finished 7 seconds shorter than Tesla’s previous record of 7 minutes 32 seconds, which was lost to the Porsche Taycan.
For the Model S Plaid track package, which has 1,020 horsepower and has three engines, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk stated that the vehicle races on the track as it left the factory, without any modifications. The vehicle, driven by Swedish driver Andreas Simonsen, completed the track at an average speed of 164,615 km/h.
What are the features of the Tesla Model S Plaid track package?
Unlike the standard version, the car’s track package includes aluminum Zero-G wheels, track-ready Goodyear Supercar 3R tires and carbon-silicon carbide rotors, one-piece forged calipers with high-performance pads, and a carbon ceramic brake kit consisting of track-ready brake fluid.
Another factor is the round steering wheel. The Model S Plaid, which broke the record two years ago, featured yoke-shaped steering that many thought was unsafe and ineffective for track riding.
As we said, the highest speed reached by the Tesla Model S Plaid track package, which finished the track with an average speed of 165 km / h, was 289 km / h.
