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!

Its crazy that people got used to the idea of Family sedans having 700hp and keeping up with ridiculously fast sports cars. You couldn’t even imagine that 20 years ago. Great times!

Wait… you mean a car that makes more power, weighs less, has a lower drag coefficient, and cost more than twice as much… is faster?

…. ‘mazin.

720s is a track supercar tho, not a gt. the 570gt is a grand tourer.
