The Tesla Model Y versus Audi RS4 Avant drag race provided an exciting way for people looking for high-performance yet practical vehicles to determine which vehicle was better suited to meet their needs.
Performance car market has always been an arena of competitive vehicles that provide people with fast yet practical transportation solutions. But recently the Tesla Model Y Performance stands out. Carwow recently uploaded a video on Youtube showcasing this EV as it competes against Audi RS4 Avant wagon.
Audi RS4s are popular among drivers seeking an all-powerful car capable of doing all their daily "car things". No problem when shopping at Home Depot for supplies and tools; and taking your family, luggage, and pup on a multiday road trip? With electric vehicles becoming mainstream this historic giant finally meets his match!
These two cars provide one of the tightest races. Tesla Model Y Performance clearly leads the pack with 527 horsepower over Audi's twin-turbo 2.9 liter V6, however weight disparities are an equal rivalry and make this race very close when considering power-toweight ratio.
Audi was able to outwit Tesla over half-mile distance if starting at 30mph or faster, thus shocking everyone by closing in quickly on them despite an initial advantage at start.
The Tesla Model Y outshines its German rival in terms of practicality. Thanks to its front trunk and spacious seating capacity, the Model Y provides more convenience in everyday situations and offers more technology offerings such as Full Self Driving.
The Model Y Performance's price may be even more striking: Audi Rs4 base model costs nearly $10,000 pounds ($12443), before any government incentives. And for their top-tier models, that difference increases exponentially - exceeding 25,000 pounds ($31108).
Tesla's Model Y is priced and performs similarly to its German competitor; however, Tesla offers one distinct advantage over its German rival: access. As British regulations restricting ICE vehicles are tightening up further as well as more European countries joining in, electing for an electric Tesla instead may no longer make economic sense.
Consumers can rest easy knowing that family-oriented high performance offerings won't go anywhere any time soon. Audi and other traditional performance brands will continue to expand and enhance their electric offerings over time, providing consumers with more choices at higher quality levels than ever. Electric models should arrive as promised sooner or later.
