TESLA P85 Gets ZAPPED by Electric MIATA !!


http://youtu.be/lQkdMw4TVjY

An 85 kw Tesla Model S Performance Package takes on Mazda Miata with an Electric Motor Conversion in a 1/4 mile drag race. The Miata is powered by a 333-volt lithium-ion battery pack controllers that drive a pair forklift motors at the wheels. The Miata runs an incredible 9.27 @ 142 mph to the Tesla's very respectable 12.72 @ 102 mph.

This is the very best thing I've seen this week. And I have no doubt that comment will still be valid on Friday afternoon.

There is a couple videos of it. Definitely worth a watch.

Me and a coworker are laughing at the "twoo twoo twoo" sound it makes while warming the tires up

Quietest drag race ever. Was like watching full scale slot cars. I actually turned the volume up forgetting electric cars are so quiet.

That thing is awesome!

But the lack of screaming engines kinda feels wrong. lol

[Golden Stallion]

Pretty awesome but it would be even more boring to go to a drag strip and watch a bunch of life size r/c cars

[topover]

Wow amazing! I agree lack of screaming engines kinda feels wrong.
