While visiting Laguna Seca Raceway last week, we discovered two new Model S Refresh (Possibly Plaid or even Plaid Plus) prototypes testing at high speeds. After whipping out our camera, we began capturing photos and video from the top of the Corkscrew. During our time at the Corkscrew, we filmed several laps and have compiled the two quickest laps from each test car here. Please keep in mind, these times are unofficial and unconfirmed. Tesla or Laguna Seca may confirm these times at a later date but this footage and the times associated have yet to be validated or confirmed. It is also possible other laps we were not present for were even quicker!
This is essentially raw footage taken straight from my camera, only modified to include both vehicle's fastest laps simultaneously. Please forgive the raw nature of the film and audio.

Lap times are estimated based on the unmodified film
• The Red test vehicle is shown on the top half of the screen and is believed to be production representative of a Model S Plaid or Plaid+ driven by Johannes van Overbeek and scored an unofficial 1:29.9 RECORD lap time
• The Black test vehicle is shown on the bottom half of the screen and is believed to be production representative of a Dual Motor Refresh or a Model S Plaid has an unknown driver and scored an unofficial 1:32.6 lap time

We also captured photos of a never-before-seen retractable/adjustable aero wing built into the trunk lid of the red test vehicle. At this time it is unknown if this part is intended for production as well as if it is manually or automatically adjustable.
