Whereas Mercedes’ G-Class is a living fossil from another time, Tesla’s Model S is living proof that electric cars do not have to be boring or with limited functionality.
These are two completely different cars with two completely different purposes, which they both serve well. They’re also the last vehicles you’d expect to go head-to-head on the drag strip.
The Tesla Model S P85 has an 85kWh electric engine pushing out 470hp while the Mercedes-Benz G63 that went up against it is said to have 536 horses under its hood.
See how the race panned out in the video below.
