Watch The New Tesla Model S Electric GT Car In Action
Next year, Formula E won’t be the only major electric racing series. That’s because 2017 will see the debut of the Electric GT championship, which will feature this race-prepped Tesla Model S.
We’re looking forward to seeing some more raw footage of this car testing, but this short video does give a decent technical overview of the car. It’s the P85 single motor model - because rear-wheel drive - and is significantly faster than the standard car due to all the weight it’s shed .
The series will stop at seven European tracks including the Nurburgring, Brands Hatch, Mugello and Estoril. Each race weekend will have a 20 minute practice session, a 30 minute qualifying and a pair of 37 mile races.
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.

Soon.
Honda drivers be like “Does it have VTEC?”
0-60 in 3.2 secs? That’s it? The P85D could go as fast, let alone the P90D and, or course, number 100.
I un-muted my computer to watch this. Not sure why I did that
P100 is faster
