For Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, and Bugatti, the afterglow of Pebble Beach weekend may be fading a little faster than usual. That?s because each of those automakers have been shown up, just a little bit, by Tesla?which claims that the new Model S P100D can get to 60 mph in a mere 2.5 seconds.
The Model S P100D could be the quickest current regular-production car on the planet if the California automaker’s claims prove true. As Tesla concedes, the Porsche 918 Spyder and the LaFerrari were as quick or quicker, but they were limited-run vehicles, no longer made today and originally costing roughly $850,000 and $1.4 million.
True to its badging, the P100D will have a 100-kWh battery pack; Tesla says it’s good for a driving range of 315 miles, which makes it the longest-range production electric vehicle so far?and the first one from the automaker to go more than 300 miles on a charge. It will be joined by a new Model X P100D that uses the same battery pack and can get to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, with an EPA-rated driving range of 289 miles.
Both models deliver those new performance pegs via a two-motor all-wheel-drive system?with exact powertrain specs and improvements not yet detailed at the time of writing. Ludicrous mode is, of course, also included in both models, and those performance numbers are with that mode?s performance-heightened settings.
