Racing The Quickest Cars: Tesla Plaid, Lucid Air, BMW M5, (Skydiver?)

The video above is the second episode of Jason Cammisa's Ultimate Drag Race Replay, and it features the Tesla Model S Plaid, the Lucid Air Dream Edition, and a BMW E39 M5. If you haven't seen the first episode featuring the Rivian R1T, we suggest you check it out soon (it's linked at the bottom of this article).  

The Tesla Model S and Lucid Air are the two quickest-accelerating production cars available today ever built, and they're both electric. While the performance of these two cars really speaks for itself, Cammisa included the BMW M5 to put things into perspective.

The E39-chassis BMW M5 was the quickest sedan on the market when it first launched way back in 2000. To even the playing field, the M5 gets a 70 mph head start before the Model S and Air take off to race it over the quarter-mile.
