When the Tesla Model S Plaid drag raced the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, it looked like a bout that was downright unfair. The Plaid, after all, was on a completely different level, being a four-door sedan that’s capable of competing with hypercars on the quarter-mile. And now, the Model S Plaid has met its match in the form of the Rimac Nevera, a $2.4 million hypercar with four electric motors and 1,914 horsepower.
