Even With A Poor Start This Tesla Model S Annihilates An RS6, E63 S And M760LI
The line-up of cars you see above all have two things in common: they’re very heavy, and very powerful. The Mercedes and the Audi both tip the scales at around two tonnes, the Tesla is 2100kg, and finally the BMW is over 2200kg.
So they’re all fatties, but the Tesla has far more power and torque than its internal combustion rivals. You’re looking at 778bhp compared to around 600 apiece for the other three, and a monstrous 920lb ft of torque following the most recent update.
As such, even though the driver of the P100D in these Car Wow drag races appeared to be asleep at the start of the first stint, the car had no trouble overhauling the RS6, M760LI and the E63 S.
Honourable mention must go to the big BMW, though - it’s a much larger and heavier car than the others here, yet managed to beat the RS6 in the standing and rolling start races. Is BMW being a little conservative with the power figure for that twin-turbo V12…?
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

If it was the M5 in place of the M760LI, SaadAnwaar(#nissangtrisapc)
I wouldnt call that an annihalation because the AMG finnished just 0,2 seconds later and all cars finnished within a half a second of a Tesla
Looks like the Tesla driver spilled his coffee before the start, cleaned it up, started and then was like: “Oh hold on I got this !”
Appeared to be asleep. Maybe the Ludicrous Mode Startup knocked him off
“They’re all fatties but the Tesla has far more power and tourqe”
That’s not an annihalation, that’s just unfair.
I loved the revving part at the beginning 😂
As always CT proving Teslas are one trick ponies
Tesla fanboys be like:Ha! The Tesla is faster and is more fuel efficient than other rather than all of those cars that do only 20 mpg,Electric is the future
The tesla does have a chunk more power than the others, it’s not that much of a shock (pardon the pun)
Spectacular reactions from the Tesla!
