It may sound like a clich\u00e9, but records are indeed meant to be broken. In 2019, the McLaren Senna became the fastest production car to lap Laguna Seca by completing a lap in 1 minute and 27.62 seconds. It now appears that the record is in danger as a Tesla Model S Plaid, quite likely the Plaid+ version, has been caught doing high-speed runs at the famous American track.<\/p>\n

According to a tweet from The Kilowatts<\/em>, the Model S in question has so far managed to lap the circuit in central California in 1 minute and 30.xx seconds. That\u2019s far off from the official lap record set by the 789-horsepower hybrid machine from Woking, but Tesla is apparently not done in its quest to shave off seconds from the lap time.<\/p>\n

BREAKING: Tesla is CURRENTLY attempting lap records in a couple of Model S Plaid (possibly a Plaid+) prototypes at Laguna Seca Raceway!
They just secured a 1:30:XX (unconfirmed time)
