Turn that off and you start to see why this car needs such an effective safety net. Its lap time was built on strong, well-balanced grip, strong brakes and really sophisticated traction control. On a power-to-weight basis, the C7 must be in the bottom 10% of all the cars in this list, but that didnвЂ™t slow it down much. Because when the final front-engined Corvette lapped our track, it did so in a way that spoke of quite a lot of incremental development of a known-quantity platform.

Tesla is likely going to announce the Model S PlaidвЂ™s new record at a delivery event set for June 10. Limited to 918 produced, hybrid-electric, naturally aspiratedДЄs you can see, most of those vehicles are $1 million supercars, and the Model S Plaid will stand out as a $120,000 luxury sedan that happens to have insane performance. HereвЂ™s the list of the top 10 fastest production vehicles ever based on quarter-mile runs (via Wikipedia): Car Model It would actually make the new Tesla Model S Plaid the fastest production vehicle ever based on the quarter-mile metric. But thatвЂ™s a 2-seater hypercar and TeslaвЂ™s Plaid Model S is a 7-seat sedan. The $2+ million dollar Rimac Nevera with 1914HP motors crushed a Ferrari in a drag race and set an unofficial world record quarter mile time of 8.6 seconds. One electric car has achieved that this week however. There are not many production vehicles that can achieve a 10-second quarter-mile and especially not family-size four-door sedans. Leno said that he saw the Tesla Model S Plaid run the quarter-mile in 9.247 seconds at 152 mph, and a National Hot Rod Association official was there to make it official. On a new episode of the SpikeвЂ™s Car Radio podcast, the comedian-turned-car show host says that he went down to the Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield last month to watch Tesla break the quarter-mile record. Now Jay Leno, who is one of the few car reviewers that Tesla still works directly with, says that one of those records is now official. Over the last few months, Tesla was spotted bringing prototypes to racetracks around California to test those specs, like pictured above (via The Killowatts), and it has been expected to break some records with its new top performance car. The automaker announced some impressive specs with 390 miles of range, 200 mph top speed, and 1.99 second 0-60 mph acceleration.

The new Tesla Model S Plaid has reportedly achieved a new quarter-mile world record with a 9.2-second run, according to Jay Leno, who was at the racetrack for the record attempt.ДЄfter several months of delays, Tesla is apparently finally going to start deliveries of the new and updated Model S next week, including the new top performance Plaid version.
