World's Fastest Time Attack Tesla - Unplugged Performance Ascension-R at Buttonwillow In Car Footage

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

How is it even possible to drive this fast? It takes incredible dexterity, coordination and an amazing car from Unplugged Performance!

[@taipoxin]

Watch the Porsche 919 Tribute Tour video with the record lap of Nordschliefe. It takes balls make of alien steel...and talent and reflexes and sensitivity to nuances in how the car feels and drives.

[@Cloxxki]

@@taipoxin 1.4 G in corners versus...4 G at least? :-)

[@jamesandonian7829]

Pulling 1.5g's through a corners. Not bad for a mid tier sedan.

[@SCWgreg]

Thank you (Unplugged) Ben, and Randy Pobst! Epic run. Can’t wait for Pike’s Peak!

[@mrmxpop]

I think this was Oscar, not Randy???

[@SCWgreg]

Good catch! Looks like Randy was helping with mods, prep, up front... but Oscar was at the helm in this clip.

[@brightymcbrightface]

good lord. with that off and easing on the last turn, looks like there's still another full second

[@mrmxpop]

Good work! I like the creative line ;)

[@kennethjones8683]

You saw that too at 1:14 - It looked just like autopilot trying to decide. LOL

[@mrmxpop]

@@kennethjones8683 Prob due to phantom braking lol

[@JustinCrediblename]

uhhh...is off-roading legit? 1:14

[@buzz4633]

Cybertruck mode confirmed.

Tesla needs to make a Plaid M3 after the Plaid Model S. No reason not to, and demand would be high. M3 plaid with a lower, widebody and more powerful battery would be the ultimate affordable sports car.

[@benjaminwalker3972]

Can't canabilize the model s though. Because at over 1000# less weight. Anything near raven level power. Would absolutely destroy the model s! That said, watch right after they release the plaid/pladium model s&x. Tesla will have some kind of upgrade for the m3p. 😁

[@imm8637]

Imagine what's coming ahead with the smaller model 2 made in China, even less weight, a Plaid version of that is the car I'm waiting for

[@Cloxxki]

A capable cup car in stock spec would be nice. Something similar to this one, but a bit more refined due to the money behind it. Lighter, series produced special body parts, light panels for rear doors, etc. In stock form they'd be able to race each other in formal competition, and they'd be a great platform to do suspension, brake, wheel and aero upgrades on for time attack. Just two of the rear motors, one front, one rear, would do the job. World touring cars are like 350 hp. GT3 500-600 hp. Two stock Model 3 motors would be 500 + hp already, maybe 600 hp peak. A lookalike chassis such as in DTM would be cool. Incorporate the battery better rather than a whole big alu case. Use something like BMW I3's chassis tech. Carbon reinforced plastic, was it? Quite light and reasonably affordable. Without passengers the pack could be more compact, shorter cooling lines, less packaging, carbon box. Quick plug and play from the floor or through the glass roof that's be plastic.

[@olibearski3618]

Great run!

[@tadeuszczachor7009]

the speed from 50 something to sudden 90 mph is nuts

[@Robbie6298]

Ever think about using evaporative cooling on the radiator to aid in thermal management? A 20 lb tank of c02 with liquid foggers can supercool the radiator to around -56 degrees probably for the entire pikes run and will leave nothing on the course as it will all evaporate. You get the added benefit of the massive energy absorbtion of the latent heat of vaporization as the liquid co2 flashes into a gas.

[@kennethjones8683]

Can we get more pictures and details on the modifications? In the thumbnail it looks like there is a lower lip besides the Ascension R front bumper and fenders.

[@UnpluggedPerformanceTesla]

All listed in description!

[@SweetTooth-ig4hm]

the company is called Unplugged Performance, they named that Tesla the "Dark Knight" they run in Global Time Attack. they built other tesla that are even more Built. they ran a 1.43 over at Button Willow which is really fkn fast. but sorry I'm not into electric. lol

[@benjaminwalker3972]

1.3gs of cornering grip? Is this on st tires still? 🤔

[@chrisalexandersb1748]

I got 1.3gs on my stock Model 3 Performance on Norwegian mountainroads the other day. The car grips like hell.

[@Shiftheads]

@@chrisalexandersb1748 same here I got 1.3 on the stock michelins and close to 2 on hoosier r7 stock suspension

[@sebastianvittel74]

If you like i can manage a ring lap record on that beast if you like 😎👌🏻

[@Shiftheads]

Unplugged please send this man the kit(and me :)

[@lifestyle4dividends776]

please make that happen, would be epic!!!!!!!!

[@LightPalladin]

если отключить кибертрак мод 1:14 я думаю время еще улучшится. П.С. хотя смотрю по следам на асфальте там у многих мод лендкрузер присутствует

[@AKlover]

Sticky tires and the lightest possible battery I assume????

[@Shiftheads]

stock battery just gutted interior

[@2nd3rd1st]

Why not clear the track? Other cars only hold you back.

[@fumontanaka]

What the Roadster 2 will be?😳

[@UnpluggedPerformanceTesla]

Hard to say, but easy to say we will modify it to be even faster.

[@fumontanaka]

@@UnpluggedPerformanceTesla 😁

[@shortaybrown]

Hope Roadster for $200,000 is a LOT faster than this.

[@mariokajin]

Unplugged Performance Thanks. In this perspective your timing is phenomenal. And I know based with the video that you put on, that you have potential to improve your time by at least half a second. The corner you went over the curb.

[@emmanuelperrina6105]

@@mariokajin but these are stock cars...

[@mariokajin]

Emmanuel Perrina Almost stock...

[@Cal3000]

- Tob1uss- those are all stock cars on the list. If everyone slapped on their modified car’s fastest time, the Model 3 wouldn’t be up there. A FWD Scion tC would be right behind that Viper ACR on that list. Modified cars shouldn’t be on that list.

[@greggb681]

Damn!!

[@benjaminwalker3972]

According to this new article. Up just beat the plaid model s prototype time. With the ascension m3! www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-track-mode-beats-plaid-model-s-record/
