Ferrari F8 Tributo And Twin-Turbo Audi R8 No Match For Tesla Model S Plaid
A YouTube video published by a Tesla Model S Plaid owner shows the EV beating a Ferrari F8 Tributo and a modified twin-turbo Audi R8 V10 over a quarter-mile drag race.

The car then broke its own record last November, doing a quarter-mile run in barely 8.944 seconds at the Maryland International Raceway. The Plaid had also earlier raced against and beat a number of other fancied cars, including the Lamborghini Hurracan, Porsche 911 Turbo, Shelby GT500, and more.

However, the Model S Plaid simply sped past the Ferrari despite letting it have the move. The Audi R8 V10 also suffered the same fate as the Tesla left it far behind and cruised to a victory over the quarter-mile distance. The Model S Plaid
