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…?

People don’t realize that the Tesla has about 200 lb-ft of torque more then all those cars, and maybe even more tbh
Damn.
NOPE NO IT DOESNT ELECTRIC CARS DONT EXIST
All of tesla fanbois make me wanna kill myself
Stock for stock yes. But you’re not getting 1000hp out of it with some mods and a tune. RS6 ftw. .o/
The moment they put amg wagon and bmw limo, the race was doomed
look at the exhaust pipes, all fakes hiding simple tube, shame !
Why does this still surprise people
It may be faster for a quarter mile, but after that, the German cars would destroy the Tesla. They also easily beat the Tesla around corners, and unlike Tesla’s, the can complete a full Nurburgring lap without overheating.
True because nearly every E63, Rs6 and 760 owner pushes their 2 ton+ limousine on the Nordschleife. Thats what theyre made for!
