The Tesla Model S P100D Is No Match For A McLaren 720S

The P100D may be stupidly fast, but it doesn't have an answer for the 710bhp McLaren 720S

The Tesla Model S may be known for hassling almost every supercar going in YouTube drag races, but it seems even Ludicrous Mode can do nothing to overcome the might of McLaren’s 720S. Watch the video above from DragTimes, and you’ll see what we mean.

In the two standing start drag races, the P100D does initially get the jump on the McLaren thanks to all-wheel drive traction and the kind of instant torque delivery associated with electric motors, but it’s soon passed by the petrol-powered car. It’s the same story on the final, rolling drag race, with the 720S needing even less time to blast by the Tesla.

All hail the McLaren 720S: the new king of YouTube drag races!

Proud to see the McLaren 720S as a representation of the internal combustion engine, what an incredible car!

Dodge Demon is cheaper than both and does a better 1/4 mile

But putting a Tesla in Ludicrous Mode voids the warrantee, and with Tesla’s terrible reliability, the total cost in about 10 years would probably even itself out

The fact that McLaren can perform so well with a 2WD car is incredible.

To shut the fanboys up, just ell them that the Model S couldn’t complete a single lap of the Nurburgring without overheating.

Electric 7-seater daily driver with full interieur can almost keep up with an 720s in a drag race
