    "no one has built an electric car as fast as exciting or interesting" ....... So basically Rimac Nevera is not exist in that world eh ??
  • The POV driving footage with no cuts is just awesome. This is the way!
  • I really really enjoyed the none edited in the cockpit lap💯🔥
  • Watching that record breaking lap, I just realized how scary quick that was. Also, with the silence, you actually get to hear quite a lot of things.
  • @vinrusso821
    It is amazing that the 2017 Dodge Viper is still top 3 lap time.
  • Incredibly proud and excited to showcase the track potential of Tesla platforms with Rory Reid and Auto Trader UK. Being able to set the EV lap record alongside Rory made for an electrifying close to our filming together. Great driving Rory & Craig! There is still a lot more potential for even faster laps with Dark Helmet and our Tesla tuning programs! Next up Pikes Peak International Hill Climb here we come!

    First video recommended to me so glad I clicked. Been a fan of the articles and posts for years and never knew you had a YT channel. Fantastic production, editing, cam quality etc!
  • @mvc2177
    Such an Awesome machine. Shout out to the people that build this beast. It looked so quick! Dark Helmet just got a new fan 😎
  • @jesse_iwuji
    This was an awesome time! Big congrats to Unplugged Performance for the crazy fast lap record! I wish I didn't have older Pilot Sport 4S tires on that day, it would have been very interesting to see how a set of the Z07 package Pilot Cup 2 R tires would have done...overall epic day!!!
  • @kevgits
    Wow. That downforce package really does make a difference. Those cornering speeds are mind-blowing.
  • @myrlyn1250
    I was just amazed to see a NASCAR driver turning right! 😂 Kidding, great runs from everyone! Rory has picked up some skills since I saw him last.
  • @kurtbilinski1723
    Like Rory said, the tires make all the difference. "Comparing" two cars, one with and one without slicks, really biases things. Also, the more turns there are, the more that driver skill matters - the same driver should drive both, removing yet another difference and making it more of a true comparison between to specific cars. That said, for a shot at the lap record, nothing matters but the time.
  • Unplugged’s kit is great. I put their coil overs, sway bars, and lightweight wheels on my model 3 and it substantially improved the ride in both performance and comfort. Awesome video Rory.
  • @EnterTheFenix
    Always loved the SpaceBalls reference with the Plaid... glad these guys leaned into it
  • @anthonymg8870
    It's my first time on your channel bro. LOVED THIS!!!!!
  • @mrblackbond
    That Tesla is so quick, it’s like you have the FASTFORWARD button activated when watching the split screen lap times!
  • @missdiva421
    Straight up, this is the best video Auto Trader has produced. What an epic performance. The camerawork and presentation is truly outstanding. Well done on smashing those records👏👏👏
  • @Daniel18X
    good video. The footage and editing is amazing!
  • @sander16v11
    So a stock manual acr on street tires was only 1 second behind? Now that’s more impressive than anything.
