Tesla Model S Plaid Sets New Lap Record by Accident Thanks to Modifications and Ford Mustang Mach-E Solution.

A heavily modified Tesla Model S Plaid built by Unplugged Performance set a new lap record on the Big Willow track at Willow Springs, with a lap time of 1:20.03, beating the previous record set by a modified Porsche 911 GT2 RS by 1.05 seconds. The Tesla specialist was at Willow Springs to tune the vehicle for Pikes Peak, but achieved the record on the third hot lap of the testing session. The "Dark Helmet" Model S Plaid features a radical body kit with high downforce aerodynamics and has previously secured lap records at other tracks.
