Electric vehicles have made their mark on drag racing with the motor offering instant torque at standstill, giving electric cars a definite advantage on the first few meters.

Tesla owners have embarrassed many hot rods and sundry super cars. 

Its latest Model 3 Performance has competed against many sports cars and very often won the confrontation. Today, its new challenger is an old acquaintance, the new generation Porsche 911 in Carrera S version. Our friends at Carwow pits the iconic flat-six against the Tesla.

The Model 3 has two electric motors, one on each axle. Both motors produce 490 hp and 660 Nm of torque and no pesky gearbox. With all the batteries it is a heavy car and weighs 1,847 kg and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds.

On the other side, we have a legend, the Porsche 911 Carrera S. Under its rear hood is a 3.0-litre flat six producing 450 hp and 530 Nm of torque. All this is sent to the rear wheels alone via an 8-speed automatic PDK dual-clutch transmission. The Porsche is significantly lighter with a mass of 1,590 kg, allowing it to go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.

Tesla is 4 wheel drive the Porsche rear wheel drive.

So, which one will win the three traditional tests, namely the drag race, the rolling race and the braking test?

911 or Model 3?
