Tesla Model S Plaid vs Porsche Taycan Turbo GT

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT is the quicker car, covering it in 9.49 s at 145.2 mph against the Tesla Model S Plaid’s 9.57 s — a margin of 0.08 s. To 60 mph the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT takes 1.92 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. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Tesla Model S Plaid or the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT faster?
The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 9.49 s to the Tesla Model S Plaid's 9.57 s, a margin of 0.08 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 1.92 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 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT 0-60 time?
The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT reaches 60 mph in 1.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 9.49 s at 145.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Tesla Model S Plaid trips the lights at 145.9 mph and the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT at 145.2 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 6 of 6 for the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
