Just a couple of weeks ago, the Tesla Model S P100D, the holy grail of fast, relatively attainable mass-market EVs, was soundly beaten by the McLaren 720S. That was a sad day for EV fans, as the P100D did not stand a chance as soon as the supercar began shifting its gears. Today, however, the lightning-fast electric sedan has redeemed itself on the track, soundly beating a Mercedes-AMG E63 S in the quarter-mile.
The race, which was held by Top Gear, featured the Mercedes-AMG E63 S saloon going head-to-head with the Tesla Model S P100D. The race was a quarter-mile, a competition that the Tesla usually dominates. Despite this, however, the E63 S was not an easy opponent. During Top Gear’s previous races, the massive, heavy, German-made saloon finished the quarter-mile right on the tail of the Nissan GT-R, a two-door sports car that is known in the auto community as Godzilla.
