Tesla Cybertruck has taken on the Porsche 911 Turbo S in a drag race, put on by YouTube automotive channel, Throttle House.
During the Cybertruck launch event, Tesla said the Cybertruck was faster than a Porsche 911—while towing the same car on the drag strip.
To put these claims to the test, Throttle House brought out the “big boy,” the Porsche 911 Turbo S, known for its remarkable speed and engineering excellence, despite being 200 horsepower short of the Cybertruck’s 845 hp. The Cybertruck weighs 6,843 lbs while the Porsche is nearly half the weight at 3,616 lbs, much lighter.
The Cybertruck ‘Cyberbeast’ version has 850 horsepower and ‘Cheetah Launch’ mode for drag races, where the front end dips down. The Porsche 911 Turbo S has a rear engine and all-wheel drive. This Cybertruck starts at $96,390 USD, while the 911 Turbo S starts at $230,400 USD. That’s a big difference in price.
The shows the Cybertruck with its instant acceleration off the line, while the Porsche 911 Turbo S displayed top-end speed, eventually overtaking the Tesla at the finish. “Like many drag races, this was just for fun,” said the channel.
