The Palm Beach International Raceway played host to this 2016 facelifted Tesla Model S P90D flagship as it went up against powerful opponents such as the Corvette Z06 and the Mustang.
Where battle-hardened muscle cars such as the Mustang or the Corvette might have been liking their chances against the Model S before Tesla gave it more power last year, now the P90D stands supreme as the type of car very few automakers are capable of challenging in a straight line.
Also, this isn’t the first time a Model S has been clocked at 2.65 seconds when it comes to its 0-60 mph (96 km/h) sprint time, which confirms just how quick off the line this EV actually is.
As for what went down on the drag strip, while the Z06 seemed to struggle, the Mustang did put up a really good fight, which is also reflected on paper after the first race. Nevertheless, the way in which the P90D accelerates is just as impressive as always – especially when viewed from the car-mounted camera. With that in mind, we can’t wait to see what the P100D will be capable of.
Oh and as for that 80’s Camaro trying its luck at the end, feel free to feel sorry for it even before you get to watch how it all ended.
