We usually associate electrically powered vehicles with small city or hybrid cars. But Tesla is slowly starting to change this perception…
This drag race features a Tesla S Performance saloon, equipped with an 85 kW/h battery pack, which manages to trounce a Dodge Viper SRT10! According to dragtimes.com the electric car managed to clear the quarter mile run in 12,73 seconds at 178 km/h. The dash from standstill to 96 km/h was done in 3,9 seconds, 0,5 seconds faster than what Tesla claims on its website.
In the Dodge’s defence, it does start to claw back at the EV as the speed increases.
