I hit 0-60 in 4 seconds when i drove the tesla...

Even if the e63 amg was bone stock , it would still win that EV ;)

The Tesla ran nearly the same time against the Viper. It was a fair race.

John Augustus Feb 06, 2013
Or maybe the merc is just quicker in a drag race than a viper?

Drake Nailon Feb 05, 2013
Um guys there was something wrong here. That Tesla should have won hands down. My guess is the driver realized his mistake and backed off. Last week a Tesla just handed a Viper it's hat. This is a bogus win for the Mercedes. Sorry.

@Andy couldn't it just have been the instant torque?

Janak Solanki Feb 05, 2013
Zaire, excellent point.

Ethan Amo Feb 05, 2013
Aye AMG remains almighty =D

Mike Gobeli Feb 05, 2013
At drag tracks they use a light sensor to start timing as the car crosses the start line. Regardless of when the cars start the times at the end of the track are accurate.

False start by Tesla

Zaire Wilkins Feb 05, 2013
The BMW should take notes on that exhaust note

Borzou Azabdaftari Feb 05, 2013
Tesla cheated too.

Daniel Alexander Soutar Feb 05, 2013
Initially it's very close, but the AMG has a nuke to the Tesla's rifle. Game over once the cars dig in...

Anders Schrøder Feb 05, 2013
Not a surprise. I would take the tesla myself though.

These things are absolutely gorgeous in person. I saw a blacked-out model s yesterday, and it was fantastic.

Look like jaguar :)

Jacob Burford Feb 06, 2013
Fisker is better looking, but this is better overall. Still wouldn't buy any ev though!

Zaire Wilkins Feb 05, 2013
I like this better than the fisker
