If you want your car to have all-out straight line speed, your best move now is to get the instant-on torque of an EV — but which EV? To help you through this truly difficult and oh-so-common buying question, the folks over at DragTimes have compiled a helpful guide: A drag race between the Lucid Air Sapphire, the Rimac Nevera, and the Tesla Model S Plaid.
The Lucid, Rimac, and Tesla are three of the quickest cars to 60 on the market, though the race has a couple glaring omissions. Still, seeing three EVs with a total of 4,108 horsepower between them tear down a half-mile drag strip is a sight to behold.
All three cars had their issues with grip on the pavement, but that didn’t stop them from putting down impressive times. The Rimac took home the gold each time it ran, but the Tesla and Lucid seemed evenly matched despite the 200 horsepower difference. Each got its turn bringing up the rear.
What DragTimes needs to put together next is an all-out bout of the quickest EVs from more manufacturers. Get the Porsche Taycan, Aspark Owl, and Lotus Evija in on the competition. The people deserve to know which car should get their hard-earned, speed-hungry dollars.
