Racing the World's Fastest Sedans: Tesla Plaid, Lucid Air, E39 M5 - Drag Race Replay w Jason Cammisa

Episode 2 of Cammisa's Ultimate Drag Race Replay features today's two quickest accelerating sedans, the 1020-hp Tesla Model S Plaid and the 1111-hp Lucid Air Dream Edition.
But to put their performance into perspective, we use a known benchmark from 20 years ago: the E39-chassis BMW M5. With a 400-hp, 4.9-liter V-8, the E39 was the quickest sedan in the world when it debuted in 2000.
For this drag race, it gets a highway-speed head start: it begins the drag race at 70 mph. Will the Tesla and Lucid catch up within a quarter-mile?
And finally, what about a skydiver? Max Splatterson - a fictional, computer-generated skydiver - begins his race exactly one quarter mile above the finish line. He and the two electric sedans start at exactly the same time. His position during the fall is calculated using math and physics; the cars' positions are thanks to sheer horsepower.
(And a couple other things, like tire grip. And suspension. And aero drag. Whatever. They're really racing.)
===
Cammisa's Ultimate Drag Race Rewind is a new take on the drag-race video. Shot using multiple angles, it aims to show the race from the perspective of the drivers. And then, Jason does a walkback from the winning car to the losing car, explaining exactly what happened.
The finishing results are determined using industry-standard instrumented testing with a Racelogic VBox and weather-corrected to J1348 standards.

Model s plaid with 1000hp lost to the taycan with 645hp around the track by 3 seconds. Then this year they added a track pack varient with track tires and beat the 400 less hp taycan by 8 sec. The difference of using regular street tires vs track is 10 seconds at nurumbring. Without that advantage the regular plaid lost. It also lost too a few other 4 door sedans. Rimac now holds the EV world record and lucid never even attempted a time. Its all good though enjoy ur glory while it lasts the taycan turbo gt is coming in january. 1000hp+ with their first tri motor car.

@@BrainFuck10 The blanket ban of combustion cars isn't going to come any time soon because we're talking about over a billion vehicles on the road, how the vast majority of people get around. That being said, they are being pushed out of city centers and certain towns and in a few decades I can see general bans coming down once we hit a certain saturation point. Once you ban the sale of new combustion cars it's only a matter of time before they fall by the wayside due to attrition (accidents & poor maintenance) and people trading in their combustion cars for new or used electrics. And there's the question of the long-term viability of gasoline production.

Wow, another mind blowing episode by you guys! The editing is just something outta this world! Also the Tesla is inconceivably fast!

before even watching this - there is absolutely no way in hell anyone would ever convince me to take either (any) EV over that beautiful/handsome E39. It represents everything that was glorious about the golden years of automotive history.

[@iirohavana4837]

I 100% agree. EV’s are great daily drivers. But I will never-ever sell my M5 (LeMans Blue over Caramel). 😎

Give EV it's prime ... let's see what cars we can come up with.

@@philipp594 these are street cars - nobody drives like a complete jacka$$ and the top speed and 0-60 stats are only cared about by boy racers who refuse to grow up. Real men know how to respect quality and class.

Incredible production! I'm blown away!

[@diamedia.2524]

The production in this video is insane! Really great job!

[@jaylay9524]

I always loved that M5. I wasn't sure if any manufacturer would even ATTEMPT to make a faster sedan. I definitely didn't expect that it would be destroyed by such an enormous margin. The future is weird.

[@anoniem9518]

But how about comparing the current BMW M5 CS against the by Tesla promoted Plaid here, over the course of a 10 lap circuit race? Would that not be the true definition of the worlds fastest sedan? :) Yes, Hagerty this would be the right definition, and you (my friend) know it.

[@Mucina_Music]

@@anoniem9518 tesla would still kick its ass.. dont get me wrong the new M5 is a beast but that tesla is something else...

@@Mucina_Music Well, if that's the case. Why don't we see Tesla fanboys challenging a brand new M5 CS for a few rounds around the track :)

[@ajoo129]

well back then, there was a lot of Japanese manufacturer like Mitsubishi and Subaru with their rally cars to compete with M5, also don't forget Merc AMG and Audi with their RS cars

[@Mucina_Music]

@@anoniem9518 id love to see that ngl lol but i think its cause not many plaids still exist eventually we will see it the car is only like 4 months old production needs time, but as i remember the plaid has set a few records in track racing for the fastest laps in a few tracks

[@TorrellesEdit]

This is the very first video I watch here. Production and editing are on another whole level. Track renting + cameras + montage/editing + pace and whole rhythm... it just works! Super snappy and seamless. When you forget how much work a 4 shot squence has had simply because it mounts so well and it drags you into it... it adds even more value. Stellar job! Kudos to the team

[@YourMom-vl2sp]

That E39 is still one of the best looking sedan. It looks better than the other two for sure.

[@JP-xd6fm]

And it looks better than all BMW that came after

[@michaelknott9064]

Only better looking BMW is my E38 750. Better looking but a lot slower ;)

I am in love with these videos.... I've seen all the previous episodes twice... I can't get over how high quality everything is script writing, camera work, special efforts, sound design.. and this absolute treasure of a show is on KZbin!! I of cause have been checking out all the other content on this channel & there's plenty of good stuff to enjoy - but I can't stress enough how ridiculously good this series is!! I'm genuinely excited to see how you continue to challenge the Tesla and what other car stories from past or present you choose to explore!

can we get an updated time of the Model S Plaid around the track now that it has track mode enabled? thanks

[@a.banana]

Yea I want to see the Lucid do a lap too, even if speed isn't really the main focus of the car.

[@curvetrcalinga]

I want to see a modified Tesla in group 4 of track masters, NCRC, or any DE events. This is a DE event class that is all out race with no price, just pure driving skills with chains of chicane and tight corners.

[@a.banana]

@ReideenHAWK Really? I know they went to Laguna Seca but I hadn't heard of Lucid doing a lap at the Nurburgring. Can't seem to find it anywhere online either.

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

@@a.banana Nürburgring : 4door Mercedes AMG GT beats the Plaid by 10 seconds, 2022 M5 CS beats the Plaid by 6 seconds, the Alfa Giulia QV beats the Plaid by 3 seconds, the new RS3 does the same time as he Plaid for half the price.

[@a.banana]

@@THEREALZENFORCE Manufacturers typically post 2 lap times at the Nurburgring, one time in the 12.9 mile configuration and another in the 12.8 mile one. The difference is that in the 12.8 mile version, the finish and start line are seperated, so a small part of the track is not driven in the lap time. The comparison you've done uses the 12.9 mile lap time from the Plaid and compares it to the 12.8 mile lap times from other cars. Here's what the lap times look like using the 12.8 mile configuration. Alfa Romeo Giulia: 7:32 Model S Plaid: 7:30 BMW M5 CS: 7:29 AMG GT 4-door: 7:23 I couldn't find the 12.8 mile lap time for the 2022 Audi RS3, but in its 12.9 mile lap time it did a 7:40, which is 5s slower than the 7:35 the Plaid did in it's 12.9 mile lap time.
