Quiet and unassuming, this all-electric machine will be taking on high-performance production cars in various states of modification. This should make for some interesting eighth-mile drag racing action. The all-wheel drive Model 3 Performance is powered by dual electric motors capable of producing the equivalent of 480hp.

In a break with normal, we found this three-way between two production (sort of) cars and the Red Bull F1 car – complete with professional driver. Oddly, the F1 car is the definite underdog in this standing quarter-mile contest. Check this out. The first production car is the Rimac Nevera.

Not to be outdone by weather, Emelia climbs behind the wheel and puts this $400k Italian supercar through its paces anyway. Keep in mind that there are only three of these cars in the U.S. A hybrid powerhouse, the Ferrari 296 GTB is powered by a 2.9-liter, 120-degree, twin turbocharged V6 engine capable of producing 654hp.

December 16th, 2022

This is it! This is the dog’s “paws” for high-performance production drag racing. Gathered here are a trio of the fastest production machines on planet earth. The first two are of the all-electric variety. The third is all forced air induction and internal combustion. Just for good measure, there’s also a souped-up two-wheeler in the mix. We begin with a closer look at the metal. The top seed has to be the Lucid, but full disclosure, the Sapphire is still in the prototype phase. The Sapphire also looks awfully generic – just like the Plaid. The Bugatti on the other Read More

From the mean streets of Old Mexico, we have a contest between representatives of past and future. The Corvette ZR1 is all about perfecting the gasoline burning internal combustion engine and sending power to the rear wheels. On the other hand, the Tesla is getting it done with all-electric and all-wheel drive. In a dig race, the Tesla Plaid is hard to bet against. Tonight’s roll racing format definitely evens the odds a bit. Let’s get to it. The (stock) C6 version of the Corvette ZR1 utilizes a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine to generate 650hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. Read More
