We’ve all had the electric or petrol debate at least once lately. We know that in these days when the world is changing, cars such as the last atmospheric V10 e60 M5 will not be produced again in a short time. So who will win this race, electric or gasoline? We raced Audi RS 6 C7 Nogara Edition (ABT) and Tesla Model S Plaid for you! Here are the details…
Tesla Model S Plaid vs Audi RS6 C7 Nogara Edition By ABT!
First of all, we recently reported for you the Tesla Model S Plaid top speed video made by the AutoTopNL channel. Tesla Model S Plaid reached a speed of 328 kilometers per hour in that video. When we consider that a passenger plane takes off at a speed of 250 kilometers, we can say that this is an incredible value.
However, as it is known, internal combustion cars have been on the market for years and these speeds have been reached even higher. Especially the station wagon Audi RS 6, which is a fan of many car enthusiasts, is a car that carries this potential. In a video also prepared by AutoTopNL, a special Audi RS 6, Nogara Edition By ABT, is subjected to the final speed test. Here is a comparison of the horsepower, 0-100 acceleration, 0-300 acceleration and maximum speed of both cars.
First of all, we need to look at the 0-100 values in both cars. When we talk about the Audi RS 6, this time is measured as 3.4 seconds. The Tesla Model S Plaid, on the other hand, accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers in 2.1 seconds. Of course, the fact that the Tesla Model S Plaid has 1020 HP makes it a few steps ahead, not one. The Audi RS 6 C7 ABT produces 705 HP.
When the 0-200 values of the vehicles are examined, we see a value of 11.3 seconds on the Audi RS 6 chronometer. The Tesla Model S Plaid goes from 0 to 200 kilometers in 9.62 seconds, which surprises us with a difference of less than 2 seconds. The Audi RS 6, which is almost 300 HP less, manages to close the gap to some extent with intermediate accelerations.
Finally, the most curious test is at 0-300 kilometers, when things really get different. Tesla Model S Plaid reaches a speed of 0 to 300 kilometers in 19 seconds, thanks to its electric nature and no loss of time and power in the powertrain. The Audi RS 6 accelerates from 0 to 300 kilometers in 39.4 seconds.
Here, although the Audi RS 6 seems to be lagging behind, it has an advantage. Tesla Model S Plaid is not suitable for long-term use at speeds of 300 kilometers and above because the heating of the batteries indicates a serious safety problem. However, Audi RS 6 offers you the opportunity to travel 300 kilometers until the fuel in the fuel tank runs out. Of course, if you are on a road suitable for this.
If we want to draw a conclusion in general, both cars have not been able to establish an advantage over the other. Yes, the Tesla Model S Plaid is a more powerful car, but it falls behind due to battery and range issues. Although the Audi RS 6 does not have such disadvantages, it cannot transmit its full power to the tires. That’s why it’s hard to decide who wins the race.
