Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast in Beast Mode breaks a quarter-mile record

A Cybertruck in ‘Beast Mode’ set a quarter-mile record that’s so impressive it’s hard to believe.

It very nearly managed to complete the run in less than 10 seconds, which is something very few cars can do.

It is faster than most supercars, and even faster than some muscle cars designed specifically for this sort of thing.

The ‘Cyberbeast’ version of the Cybertruck is incredibly fast.

Looking at it, you wouldn’t exactly call it an aerodynamically efficient vehicle, and yet the Cybertruck has enough torque to go from to 60 in well under 3 seconds.

The record set by the Cybertruck

The guys from the DragTimes YouTube channel wanted to complete the quarter-mile run in less than 11 seconds.

The first attempt didn’t go as planned, as they ‘only’ managed to do it in around 12 seconds.

The second attempt went better, and it took them 11.05 seconds.

But wheel spin was still a problem, so DragTimes tried using a combination of Beast Mode and Launch Mode to get rid of that issue.

It worked, and the Cyberbeast ran the quarter mile in 10.963 seconds, with an exit speed of 120.07 mph.

One of the fastest-accelerating cars in the world

During the delivery event, Tesla showed a video of the Cybertruck beating a Porsche 911 in a drag race while towing a Porsche 911.

We later learned that the video was partially staged.

Electric cars are capable of immense acceleration off the line, something even Dodge found out (the hard way) when a Challenger Demon lost to a Lucid Air sedan.

But the thing is, gas cars usually catch up after the first few hundred yards.

For that reason, Tesla carefully cut the race, and the clip, to make it look like Cybertruck had beaten the 911 over a quarter-mile run, even though it was more likely 80 percent of a quarter-mile strip.

Even so, there’s no getting away from the fact the Cybertruck can do things most vehicles can’t.

The Cyberbeast version makes 845 horsepower and Tesla says on its website it has 10,296 pound-feet of torque.

This is either a typo or (more likely) a reference to wheel torque, because 10,000+ of motor torque is something a plane would have.

But that doesn’t change the end result, which is a 0-60 time in 2.6 seconds, faster than 99 percent of cars out there.

For a vehicle weighing the best part of three tons, it is seriously impressive.
