Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Koenigsegg Regera is the quicker car,
covering it in 9.42 s at
162.1 mph against the Tesla Model S Plaid’s
9.57 s — a margin of
0.15 s. To 60 mph the Koenigsegg Regera takes
2.56 s and the Tesla Model S Plaid
2.04 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
11/11 for the Tesla Model S Plaid,
11/11 for the Koenigsegg Regera —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Tesla Model S Plaid or the Koenigsegg Regera faster?
The Koenigsegg Regera. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 9.42 s to the Tesla Model S Plaid's 9.57 s, a margin of 0.15 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.56 s against 2.04 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Tesla Model S Plaid 0-60 time?
The Tesla Model S Plaid reaches 60 mph in 2.04 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 9.57 s at 145.9 mph.
What is the Koenigsegg Regera 0-60 time?
The Koenigsegg Regera reaches 60 mph in 2.56 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 9.42 s at 162.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Tesla Model S Plaid trips the lights at 145.9 mph and the Koenigsegg Regera at 162.1 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 11 of 11 for the Tesla Model S Plaid and 11 of 11 for the Koenigsegg Regera. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
