The latest automotive videos hitting YouTube seem to feature the Tesla Model S P85D quite a lot. There's good reason for this: the thing is stupid fast.

And because it's electric, the torque is instantaneous thereby launching the car super fast. To better understand just how fast, people have been dragging it alongside the likes of exotics.

But, people tend to forget just how fast the Porsche 911 Turbo S is. Having experienced it first-hand numerous times now, I know it feels like the car is pushing your eyeballs into the back of your skull. So, how does it fair out against the likes of the most ridiculously powered electric auto? Find out, below!

Please note: The 911 Turbo S video'd is most certainly a 997 generation vehicle. Also note: The driver did NOT use launch control one time — this is a significant disadvantage when we're talking the minutiae of drag races.


Ferrari and Lamborghini already had their go against my Tesla P85D. Now let's see how a really fast Porsche fares against it.

The Tesla seems to launch way faster than most exotics when they aren't using launch control. Nobody seems to want to use launch control, because it damages the clutch pretty badly. But I'm still curious to see whether a launch-controlled exotic car can beat the P85D at the jump.

So my next video would be of a rematch race between my Tesla against my Lamborghini Aventador (with launch control activated). For science!
