There it is again folks, this is what happens when you don’t launch your Tesla Model S P85D from a stand still against something like a Porsche 911 GT3.
Yes, we’re aware how formidable the P85D is when launching off the line. It has all that “instant torque” which helps it jump ahead of pretty much anything it’s racing against.
We’re also aware that it will get its rear end whooped if the distance covered is significant enough and especially if they do a rolling start.
Now, the Porsche 911 GT3 isn’t necessarily a car made for straight line drag racing. We all know that it’s a beast on the track but it’s certainly not known for its straight line prowess.
On paper, it boasts 475 PS and 440 Nm (324 lb-ft) of torque from its 6-cylinder 3.8 liter boxer unit, and it can hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds.
Further more, weighing in at just 1,505 kg (3,317 lbs), the 911 GT3 is really light on its feet, as opposed to the Tesla Model S.
Enough chatter; let’s see the interesting thing that happens when they go against each other in a straight line from a rolling start, shall we?
