We attended a private track rental put on by ADV1 at Palm Beach International Raceway where we setup a race between the Tesla Model S P85D and their Ferrari F12.  Could the 691HP Tesla Model S P85D use it’s all wheel drive advantage to hold off the 730HP V12 powered, rear wheel drive Ferrari F12 down the 1/4 mile? While the Tesla pulled a great reaction time of .06,  continued on with a 0-60 MPH time of 3.1 seconds and a 1/4 mile time of 11.6 @ 115 MPH, it wasn’t enough to fend off the Ferrari.  The Ferrari F12 came on very strong and won by .52 seconds Read More

Insane mode in the Tesla Model S P85 is all fun and games until loose items you might have in the car go flying around and break due to the instant torque and g-forces measuring 1.3 g. We’ve heard multiple reports of cracked phone screens that flew out of the center console and crashed into the center armrest. Check out the video below in regular and slow motion to see what happens when a few miscellaneous items along with some fruit go flying around in the car.  If you try this at home, make sure you kids are properly protected with quick reaction skills or a face mask.

We have some video of an all stock McLaren MP4-12C racing another MP4-12C that has an Alpha Performance tune from AMS.  There are 3 races starting from a 2nd gear at around 40 MPH. The AMS tune adds 100HP to the MP4-12C brining the power from it’s 3.8L V8 Twin Turbocharged engine form  616HP to 716HP. Check out the video below to see just how much faster a tuned McLaren MP4-12C is when running side by side from a roll.

Check out this all new 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 coming across a McLaren MP4-12C for some fun.   The Camaro Z/28 is Chevrolet’s all out track focused car that sheds 300 pounds from the ZL1 Camaro and is powered by a naturally aspirated 7.0L V8 pumped out 505 HP.  This Camaro was also modified by Breathless Performance although the modifications are unknown. The McLaren MP4-12C is powered by a 3.8L V8 Twin Turbo which has been tuned by Alpha Performance for some extra power.

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.
