Tesla P85D VS McLaren 650S Drag Race
The Tesla Model S was already an insanely fast sedan, but when Elon Musk unveiled the “D” edition with AWD, more power, and even more speed, the world was in awe. Since its release, the P85D has been besting all number of supercars on the drag strip, outright embarrassing many of them. This time around, we have yet another Tesla owner lining up against one of the best machines from Britain, the McLaren 650S. If there is anything short of a million-dollar hypercar like the 918 or P1 that can beat the Model S, surely it is this bright yellow streak of horsepower.
The video consists of multiple races shown from various angles, but one thing becomes very obvious, very quickly; these two cars are far from evenly matched. As soon as they take off, they are neck and neck for about a second, then one car launches into the lead and stays there. The exact same scenario is repeated over every race.
Does the McLaren dethrone the P85D, or is the electric voodoo that powers the Tesla enough to overpower the 650S? You have to watch to find out.
