We've been here before. Everyone knows that Teslas with Plaid power – be it the Model S or in this case, the Model X – are silent-but-deadly at the drag strip. Barring full-on race cars built to dominate the strip, what does it take to win against one? In stock trim, there are just a few hypercars up to the challenge and a 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S isn't one of them.
However, the Turbo S featured in this DragTimes video isn't stock. Listed as having an engine tune with upgraded turbos, intercoolers, and more, it's said to make 910 horsepower at the wheels. That easily translates to over 1,000 hp at the crankshaft, which is a significant jump over the 640 hp you'd normally see from the boosted 3.7-liter engine. And of course, that goes to all four wheels through a quick-shifting eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
