So stupid to push on a road like that.

Presumably the (first) car he avoided pulled out from the side, not expecting the Ferrari Inquisition.

Kudos to the car coming the other way for having the awareness to move over and give the Ferrari some room.

I'm hoping this isn't a repost... Sutil's got a cool helmet design but no so much the jacket his driving in. :lol:

I sent it to some guys at work who are V8 nuts and they claim it is a set up and the V8 Supercar would flog it. The LOLs are coming hard and fast.

they've definitely played to the strength of the Tesla, but it's still mighty impressive because the V8's aren't slow, it just shows how damn fast that thing is off the line in Insane mode. Once you got near braking or cornering it's switch around but damn that's fast.

Imagine how 'green' we could be if the energy used to charge the tesla was 100% renewable. Im guessing it was charged with coal.

If it wasnt for greed, we'd probably have wiped petrol cars off the planet already

And they only put it in Insane mode - Ludicrous mode is even faster... :)

Ludicrous mode is only on the P90S isn't it?

Bur yep, AWD. A 911 Turbo S would handily do the job too. And if you listen to Nissan, a GT-R should smash the V8.

Was given the opportunity to drive one on the weekend. Can confirm, some of the reactions in the clips above. Insane mode in a Tesla is wooo, and that it is perfect to drive at slow speeds as well.

I watched that clip this morning and I just watched it again at lunch. I was grinning like an idiot when they "raced" them.

Which one would you have? Porsche for me I think.

Haven't it watched yet, so be interesting to see if my opinion changes after watching it shortly

For me I've always thought this would be my choice order
1- McLaren
2- Ferrari
3- Porsche

Yep Porsche is what my money is on, will watch today.

If the P1 uses those special tyres then it ain't no longer a road car in my opinion.
