Tesla Model S Is Now The Fastest Car In The World

We’re talking 0 to 60 mph in 2.275507139 seconds. It gets a bit shaky after that, though.

In a test from MotorTrend, the Tesla Model S smashed the current record. You can watch it here:

MotorTrend has tested a whole bunch of cars over the years, it says, but the Tesla Model S is the first production car to ever cracked 2.3 seconds from 0 to 60 mph.

The headstart doesn’t last though, with MotorTrend confirming “Ferrari LaFerrari hits 70 mph a tenth of a second quicker, while the Porsche 918 and McLaren P1 take the lead 80 mph”.
