Even With A Poor Start This Tesla Model S Annihilates An RS6, E63 S And M760LI

This heavyweight drag race pits the Model S P100D against the BMW M760LI, Audi RS6 Performance and Mercedes-AMG E63

09 Oct 2017

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)

would be triggered and most probably got very saaaad

I wouldn’t even be triggered the Tesla handles like a boat lmao

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

All drag races end like that ? In Olympic sprints there is but a spilt second difference between the first and the last runner too

Well the P100D could do 10’s with a better start off the line

I must admit it has monstrous torque, but the top speed and handling is bad.

by 1 inch or a mile
winning is winning

That’s carthottle many times these days, creating overreacting news about a lot of things to catch people.

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

Because the Model S was totally designed to go fast, nevermind the fact they managed to get electricity into the luxury market

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
