Watch a Tesla smoke custom street racing cars while their owners get upset


The P100D with “ludicrous mode” was already one of the quickest production cars in the world with a sublime 0-60 speed of 2.5 seconds, but this version, created by the Tesla Racing Channel, is even faster after a significant weight reduction. The interior was gutted and the seats replaced with lightweight racing seats, resulting in a net loss of between 400-500 pounds.

The result of the changes speak for themselves. In a series of one-eighth-mile races the Tesla breezed past a modified Cobra Mustang and two Nitrous Foxbody Mustangs, with only a Nissan GTR proving to be any match for the electric beast — it still lost by two body lengths. It’s stunning, especially for a car that jokes with you when you decide to push it to its limits.
 
That kind of 'racing' is all about the launch. Anyone with traction control will do better, but even that isn't enough to overcome electric torque-off-the-line.
