650-HP Porsche 911 Turbo S Takes on Tesla Model X Plaid in Drag Race

Porsche is gradually moving towards electrification in its future lineup. However, the iconic 911 model still relies on a powerful combustion engine. A recent drag race video demonstrates that the combustion engine is still holding its own against electric competitors, as the Porsche 911 Turbo S goes head-to-head with the mighty Tesla Model X Plaid.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is equipped with a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine, generating an impressive 650 horsepower and 590 pound-feet (850 Newton-meters) of torque. This engine propels the coupe, weighing 3,637 pounds (1,650 kilograms), with the help of an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox that distributes power to all four wheels.
