Take a look at this Tesla Model S P85D Insane Mode Launch Compilation Video showing reactions from a few unsuspecting people.   With 0-60 MPH coming in just 3.1 seconds along with no audible clue of what’s about to happen,  the aggressive launch brings out some very interesting and funny reactions, including a flying iPhone that gets stuck to the back seat from the G Forces (we’ve recorded 1.29G on the launch).   The Tesla Model S P85D is powered by dual motors with a combined output of 691HP and during a recent dyno test we observed 864 ft-lbs of torque.  This Read More

Here is a video of a new Tesla Model S P85D with dual motors, all wheel drive and 691HP taking on a 2015 BMW M4 powered by a Twin Turbo 3.0L Inline-6 with 425HP and a 7 speed dual clutch transmission. The BMW M4 used it’s Launch control system and got the jump from the start but the Tesla quickly took over leaving the M4 behind by a few cars.   On the top end the race evened out as the Tesla ran out of steam and and hit it’s top speed allowing the M4 to quickly catch up. This BMW M4 is no slouch running Read More

Here is a video of a new Tesla Model S P85D with dual motors, all wheel drive and 691HP taking on a 2012 Lamborghini LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale powered by a 5.2L V10 and 570HP. The Tesla gets a good start but loses ground fast as it’s power dies off quickly while the Lamborghini runs right past it around 115 MPH. Hopefully Tesla Motors will un-cripple the Tesla P85D soon and release the power and speed that it promised when they initially released the specifications back in October 2014 and started taking orders.

We’ve found some pretty good footage of a new Lamborghini Huracan going heads up against it’s big brother Aventador in Greece.  The Huracan with it’s 5.2L V10 and 610HP through a 7 speed dual clutch transmission along with AWD seems to come off a bit softer than it’s larger and more power full Aventador sibling powered by a 6.5L V12 with 700HP and a 7 speed ISR transmission (single clutch). Once both cars are under power the Aventador still walks away from the Huracan a good bit through the 1/4 mile and beyond.

While we’re waiting impatiently for our Tesla Model S P85D to arrive tomorrow, we came across this video of a brand new Model S P85D racing against a Lamborghini Aventador. Take a look at what happens when 691HP of instant electric horsepower and torque goes heads up against a 700HP 6.5L V12 all out exotic super car.       Some more Tesla vs the world videos…

We had some time with a Lamborghini Aventador setup with a bolt-on Twin Turbo system built by DLM – Doug Levin Motorsports.  While it’s just running a baseline 4psi from it’s twin turbo setup, the sounds and acceleration of a the 6.5L V12  Twin Turbo setup along with super hard hitting 7 speed ISG transmission was a blast to experience. Take a look at the video and pictures below and see how the Aventador did against a tuned McLaren MP4-12C.

The 2015 BMW M4 Convertibles are just starting to arrive at dealers across the US and we got hold of one to do some baseline testing.  The M4 is all new for 2015 and is powered by a 3.0L I6 Twin Turbo engine producing 425 horsepower (although dyno results show the engine is making much more power).   Our  car was painted in a striking Sakhir Orange with matching interior has the optional 7 speed dual clutch transmission along with the driving assistance package, executive package, full leather seating, M adaptive suspension, 19″ Black wheels and a Harman Kardon Surround Sound Read More

McLaren San Francisco setup a track day demonstrating the new McLaren 650S to some potential customers and ended up running it up against a MP4-12C down the straights with a GoPro on the back of the 650S.  With an extra 25HP a little less weight along with a host of other upgrades, take a look at how much faster the 650S than it’s predecessor from a 40 – 140 MPH roll race. They also put the 650S up against a Porsche 911 Turbo S and Ferrari F12, take a look at the videos below:

During our first test of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale we has some issues spinning the aged Pirelli PZero tires when using launch control both on the street and at the drag strip with a best time of 11.34 @ 125.5 MPH.  We swapped out the Pirelli’s for a new set of Toyo R888 tires and hit Palm Beach International Raceway again to see how the car performs with some better traction. Weather was great with temps in the mid 60’s with a DA of almost even.  We arrived a little late and with some of the track prep Read More

In this article we’re going to detail the parts and methods we used to get some great exhaust sound clips from the 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale we’ve been testing.  We used a GoPro HERO3 action camera with an external stereo microphone placed strategically between the two exhaust exits of the Lamborghini. What you’ll need: GoPro HERO3 Action Camera GoPro Skeleton Case GoPro 3.5mm External Microphone Adapter GoPro Suction Cup Mounts (2) Olympus ME-51S Stereo Microphone Microphone extension cable Microphone Windscreen Since we need to connect an external microphone to the GoPro, you’ll need the Skeleton case since Read More
