In a showdown of automotive titans on carwow, a tuned Nissan GTR Nismo takes on the electric powerhouse that is the Tesla Model X Plaid. The Nissan, boasting a jaw-dropping 810 horsepower and 890 Newton meters of torque, has undergone extensive upgrades, thanks to its owner Bill. With a price tag totaling £200,000, this beast is not to be underestimated. On the other end of the spectrum, the Tesla Model X Plaid flexes its muscles with 1,020 horsepower and 1,420 Newton meters of torque from its trio of electric motors, all for a relatively modest £127,000.

As the race unfolds, it becomes evident that the Tesla is a force to be reckoned with, outperforming the Nissan in both rounds of the quarter-mile drag race. Clocking in at 10.3 seconds compared to the Nissan's 10.6 seconds, the Tesla showcases its electric might and acceleration prowess. The sheer power and speed of the Model X Plaid leave the competition in the dust, solidifying its position as a performance powerhouse in the automotive world.

Moving beyond the drag race, additional challenges such as a rolling race and a brake test further highlight the Tesla's dominance on the track. With impressive stopping power and acceleration, the Model X Plaid proves its mettle in various performance tests. For car enthusiasts and speed aficionados, this showdown on carwow serves as a thrilling display of cutting-edge automotive technology and raw power, setting the stage for future showdowns and adrenaline-fueled competitions on the channel.
