We’ve finally got our hands on the Tesla Model X Plaid, and it’s going up against the new Lamborghini Urus Performante, a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, an AMG GLE 63 and a BMW X5M!
So let’s see how they all compare. Starting with the X5M, it’s powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 625hp and 750Nm of torque. It tips the scales at 2,410kg, and it costs £121,000. Next up it’s the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, which is equipped with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers 640hp and 850Nm. It weighs in at 2,200kg, and it costs £150,000.
Next up is the Urus, which also has a 4-litre V8, putting down 666hp and 850Nm. It’s both the lightest and most expensive car here, coming in at 2,150kg and £209,000 respectively. The GLE 63 S comes in with a similar engine, although it’s down on power compared to the Urus, producing 612hp and 850Nm. It tips the scales at 2,400kg, and it costs £124,000.
Finally, we have the most powerful car here, the Model X Plaid! Its electric motors combine to produce 1,020hp and 1,020Nm, it weighs in at 2,500kg, and it’ll set you back £133,000.
Will the Tesla walk it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

What's the best car in this epic drag race?
-
The plaid shot off in every race, including the brake test
-
Just imagine that the slowest time here was 12.2 which a few years ago would've been unbelievable for a luxury SUV.
-
That Tesla is just insane. My favorite was the Porsche though. Would of loved to see the Trackhawk in this SUV group. Fun video to watch.
-
imagine Plaid was on summer tires😂 he’d be bus lengths ahead
-
Yanni is so concerned about the Lambo losing 😂
-
Matt telling someone who just splashed £200,000 on a Urus, that it's wrong choice..is the most Matt thing ever.
-
Matt when you give the side by side stats, could you please also list the engine displacement? That would be greatly appreciated
-
Love how the Plaid sounds like an SU57 every time it crosses the finish line.
-
Huge props to the people who got all these cars in to do this drag race. Special thanks to you as well, Yanni, Mark McCann, and EV Richard. Also, you guys should dyno and weight test these high-performance S.U.V'S just to see how much power they truly have. I bet you that Porsche has a bit more horses than that Urus Performante.
-
really gotta give props to the editors, they got so much diffrent footage with diffrent cameras but they always manage to cut is together so well
-
I must say I'm very impressed with that Porche, it came second in both speed and brakes, May not be number one but I can trust it wont let me down when it comes to avoiding Hijacking or avoiding accidents, run or brake I'm covered
-
In the roll on race from 50mph in full comfort mode, matt in the x5m had the gearbox in the level 3 sporty setting.
-
Bjorn Nyland confirmed the Tesla Plaid was the only car in this test on winter tyres which explained why it braked poorly. This is a valid observation.
-
Yanni driving a Porsche and cheering up for Lambo is sweetest love story😂😂🔥❤❤
-
Yanni...."I put my foot to the floor, and nothing happened for a week" lol priceless!!!
-
Matt, your videos are as comedic as they are informative 😂😂😂. That editing part to make the Lambo look like the winner... classic 😂😂
-
It seems only Porsche took seriously what comfort and sport mode means in a gearbox :) well done <3
-
Mat we would appreciate if you added the 0 to 60 times the cars did as well as the speed they completed the quarter mile at🙏
-
When Matt said for the Lamborghini urus to introduce himself, the charmin ultra soft commercial popped up on my screen
