Tesla Model S P85D vs McLaren 650S | Drag Race | Autocar

[@Pienimusta]

Are drag races in UK always done in a swimming pool ?

[@d0718]

yes

[@srbmckenzie]

Unfortunately, that's just our weather!

[@PhotoArtBrussels]

In many places it rains more than it is dry. That i why i do not like so many tests being done in always sunny places. Cars are driven in the rain, drizzle, snow .... Anyhow, that does not change the fact the McLaren is a fantastic car, just like the Tesla ... and many others.

[@Pienimusta]

valcked True. Perhaps it shows that 4wd/awd had better performance (well atleast in a drag race) in "real world" conditions.Of course they could go to Dubai to film these...

[@NuclearGrizzly]

Here is Texas, if I'm heading to the track and it looks like rain I find something else to do. In the UK a good rain means it's time for high speed testing. God bless them. :-)

[@humza4779]

stay tuned for next weeks race.... we drag race the new GTR against the viper acr on a dirt road

[@jumoreno43]

I see what you did there

[@eugenehvorostyanov2409]

So tempting to see it.

[@YachtReport]

The reality of the real world. It rains.

[@carlossantiago9753]

Humdizzle that gtr gone blow the doors off that viper on dirt or road swear

[@srbmckenzie]

Why a P85D and not the newer, faster P90D?

[@fokjohnpainkiller]

Because that's something we'd love to see

[@srbmckenzie]

Especially seeing the 2nd race.... Ludicrous mode!!

[@Xanderr1495]

I would of thought the P90D would go against a 675LT not a 650S.

[@srbmckenzie]

I guess it depends on your criteria.... the P90D is the current model (they don't make a P85D anymore). Plus, either way, the Tesla is cheaper in any form/spec than any McLaren. It's a slightly irrelevant in all aspects. 4WD vs 2WD, 5 Seats vs 2 etc etc... but it's a bit of fun!

[@PuerRidcully]

Because British car and British journalists.

[@draso19]

yeah...great idea to do drag race on wet tarmac and compare 4WD with RWD. Clap clap! face palm...

[@Simey2wheels]

the point is to show that a car costing £85k with electric technology is almost as quick as a true supercar.....yet can fit 4 passengers and luggage!

[@draso19]

@Simon J, reallyyyyy, 700hp electric 4WD car with instant full torq is faster in this kind of race compare to RWD supercar? nobody know that...:-D but anyway, 650S on this surface lost more time with tyre spin than tesla. Tesla did not have ludac...so OK. Nothing new in this video after all...

[@philippk1125]

it's not a car, what's going on in your head. It doesn't deserve the name "car".

[@RC404]

You know these things arent planned overnight. Specially in the UK you just never know when it is going to rain. Stop Hating

[@Supcharged]

panamera turbo is faster

[@AndySV25]

"They will make a faster one of these" ?? They have, the P90D Ludicrous has been out for months

[@pascalmpower7944]

Just get a GT-R or a Turbo S. It's the AWD that wins the race not Tesla. The 650-S can run 10.5 on strip.

[@LIKWID]

Even the newer GTR's aren't matching their 0-60 times, they produce too much power for their transmissions to handle now and are spinning all 4 wheels off the line.

[@pascalmpower7944]

Liquid Vision Stock GT-R 2.7 to 60 11.0 at 125 to 1/4 mile. P90D 2.8 to 60 11.2 at 118 mph. Also, too much power for the transmission to handle and are spinning all 4 wheels??? Hahaha should I take that as a joke? Not funny tho.

[@LIKWID]

ATTESA ET-S 東瀛戰神 R35 GT-R nismo N-ATTACK A-kit lol mate I'm not bullshitting you, Nissan quote 2.8 to 60 but the new GTR has NOT matched that in any video at all, EVO magazine have managed 3.2 at best, a new GTR is yet to hit the time that Nissan quote. And you can look at plenty videos on youtube of them spinning their wheels off the line

[@pascalmpower7944]

Liquid Vision New GT-R... Which one? 2014 track pack did 2.7, 2015 nismo does 2.8 0-60 and 10.8 1/4 mile. There is videos. That's a black GT-R nismo. I see GT-R spins the tire but not all 4 tires because GT-R launch with a 2:98 torque split. 2% of 463 lb/ft won't spin the front tire.

[@al3oqab128]

Nissan always over estimates the GTR 0-60

[@AlexOliver555]

In all fairness, the Mclaren is more than twice the price of the Tesla.

[@spazda_mx5]

"Vehicle with more power and four wheel drive faster to accelerate in wet conditions" shock.

[@alexandrefernandes9233]

And Tesla is a family car!

[@HowDareYouu]

why not the more powerful P90D ????

[@stubones]

More to the point, why race in the wet and expect a fair result? Why not the more powerful Mclaren P1???? or I know, lets get ludicrous and go the whole hog and use the P1 GTR. Ooooh I know, how about the AWD Porsche 918 with 875hp????

[@HowDareYouu]

stubones cuz the idea is a SEDAN versus a super-car - but u can't understand these subtle things. And for a sedan to have a chance against the super-car at least u use the best one. A super car is already considerate a fast car so u don't need to choose a hyper-car.. Use your brain mate

[@stubones]

i raul duh, its not that subtle and you're not a genius for thinking of it.You're wanting to use the pinnacle of Tesla performance so why not use the pinnacle of Mclaren performance? Use your brain kid.

[@HowDareYouu]

+stubones u are a total idiod - the idea is to compare a 5door salon(family car) against an exotic supercar. U fucking imbecile

[@miaudir8]

Why not the more powerful 675LT as well????

[@typedrew]

At any point on any day do you have dry roads over there?

[@beast-tl8di]

And 5 years later the latest model s is trapping the top speed of the p85 to the quarter mile, and has become the quickest production car

[@ErnestDziadekGruz]

Comparing 4wd vs 2wd in wet?

[@HamadTVCars]

that was I willing to say -_-

[@tuitaco]

comparing 5 seater to a 2 seater? lol

[@BoiFast]

+L Taka but we all know a 650s is a 10.5 sec car through the 1/4 mile on a non wet surface and the tesla is not

[@TheoldSouth]

+L Taka The Model S can seat 7

[@ErnestDziadekGruz]

mclaren can take corners

[@MultiTerpen]

The p85d is actually insane.. 0-60 in 2,8 sec! mad! If you have ever tried one, you will be shocked by how fast it actually is. Trust me.. I already knew how fast it was but I was actually kinda shocked. It is kinda a hot rod. A normal car that is hella fast

[@astudentpilotlife]

It is not Fast, it is just quick 😂

[@hyylo]

a family sized car races a two door sports car. imagine if tesla made a new sports car.

[@kellyboyd5889]

Do you work for McLaren?

[@hyylo]

i wish i worked for tesla. i could get the chance to meet a true superhero like elon musk. imagine if elon musk was running for president instead of the liars like trump, clinton, bush and obama.

[@Finrecon1]

They are planning a new Roadster.

[@hyylo]

***** Tesla only hires the best of the best. you have to have a creative mind and also be super smart.

[@hyylo]

Finrecon1 that will not happen for a while as Elon Musk just announced they are developing larger transport vehicles like a bus and truck.

[@ianng4633]

Yes, 4wd is faster in oceans, we get it

[@ciliaris2]

When do they mention that the Tesla doesn't need a US Navy Carrier group to escort is fuel out of the ME? How much does that cost?

[@delboy2596]

And the McLaren owner won't have to spend 40 minuets in the services recharging, on the way home.

[@Simey2wheels]

and the tesla owner doesn't need any maintenance and can take all his mates out! 300 mile on a charge is plenty and its the safest car on the road! bargain if you like acceleration and almost 1/3 the price

[@srbmckenzie]

It's about 25-30 for most.... it's an awful lot cheaper than £100 to fill up for 250 miles too ;-)

[@Michael_Michaels]

Until that self-driving _thing_ isn't fixed, IT IS NOT the safest car on the road...

[@srbmckenzie]

Are you sure? Regardless of auto pilot i believe the crash testing for passengers/pedestrians etc is the highest of any car... insideevs.com/clearing-up-the-confusion-tesla-model-s-crash-test-safety-score-versus-the-nhtsas-slap-on-the-wrist-response/

[@Simey2wheels]

+MikeVonDoom oh but it is!

[@ponygt6629]

911 turbo S vs P85D is a much more valid comparison

[@Parax77]

What's with the sound effects at 2:04? EV's don't sound like that...

[@priyanshshah3821]

Parax77 sound of the water

[@nadarbzh]

The tesla has over 600 hp motor power but can only use 540 of it because battery output is limiting it. Thought journalist would read first the specs on the manufacturer sites! And yes its written there.

[@paouvous]

Well this shows that in the wet especially it is all about power delivery, and internal combustion really comes from the age of fire. I guess the Tesla overheated it's batteries so it became slower on the back to back dragraces. There is no mention of that on the video though. Also the Tesla makes closer to 500hp and as it is battery limited not motor limited. Finally of course the outcome would have been quite a bit different with a 90D.

[@weakpig]

Wait til you lose to Ludicrous.

[@JarrodBolon]

The tesla might be faster in a straight line but no one in their right mind would take one over a 650s.

[@Carnutzjoe]

Jarrod Bolon, I would! I couldn't afford to live with a McLaren. The Tesla S would be a Joy. Actually I would take the McLaren given the choice. I would sell it, buy 2 Tesla S's. The P100s

[@JohnThePA]

Um, Tesla P100D for me over a McLaren, thanks.

[@mateogarcia1207]

Tesla is quicker not faster, anything beyond a 1/4 mile and it loses severely to the McLaren. However I disagree that the choice between a 650s and a tesla is so clear cut, I could see valid arguments being made for both cars.

[@Gamingboy-ie2ki]

Jarrod Bolon 650 is my favourite car would u put it in ur top 3

[@nickthompson7369]

Jarrod Bolon if I had a family to take care of the you better believe I'm taking the tesla

[@fthyme87]

4wd vs 2wd in the wet? I like the tesla, but the mclaren would kill it in dry.

[@hamlettelmah441]

my youngest brother owns the same P85D model and not too long ago we took it to a local track where they run 1/8 mile races. He ran it four times and won all four times by a good margin, we then took it to a track that did the 1/4 mile races and it ran three times winning twice by less than a car length. They can beat most cars in a race if it's around 1/8 long but when you get to the 1/4 mile then it becomes a bit more evenly challenged. The Tesla to me is the Cheetah of the big cat world where it's only very very fast in a short distance and the others tend to catch up on the long runs, well that's if the other car has the HP to catch up. It's still a great comfy ride and i love the autopilot but only if it's used correctly and not when you wanna take a freaking nap or do some other shit like i have seen people do. I haven't seen anyone taking a nap on the fwy while the car is driving the route yet

[@dcharizard91]

Should do something with AWD next time...maybe the Porsche 911 Turbo S?

[@user-lb7pt6jb3o]

Is it ever not rainy in the UK? I've never been there where it's not soaking

[@jw6188]

I want to see the p85 against a rs7 performance. round the same price right?

[@thelarry383]

next do a drag race between the two on a frozen lake...

[@dustinreed9425]

Was this also with insane + mode activated correctly with a 3 second hold ? It usually takes a hour to warm up and be ready for a single run , launch control will also work when insane plus mode is activated… should hit 0-60 in 2.6 or so …. I’ve done it lol

[@jsponson]

I think this makes a case for performance hybrids. I want the instant torque of electric at launch and the top end power of ICE. Even better if they're on two different axles so we get AWD traction.

[@1414alexajuliana]

So many things wrong with this video. 1) Launch control was not properly engaged on Mclaren as "Boost Ready" Full Boost build up takes a few seconds 2) Top down on Mclaren 3) Wet Track 4) Mclaren driver attempting to short shift and over ride mclaren computer system...It never works The list goes on and on. "stupid is what stupid does"

[@shanesitzman8652]

Video has engine exhaust sounds as tesla passes the 1/4 marker. haha 2:04

[@clarkdef]

The tesla isn't 690hp its 450hp at best. As for the comparison, its a good one because rain is something you have to deal with...

[@pervZAGGert]

I have a joke for you: "Autocar".

[@rondar2]

Even before coming to the fact that the race is done in the ocean what is the point of comparing a family saloon with a all on sports car that weighs almost half of the other one?

[@YachtReport]

Usual BS in the comments. Every drag race on KZbin is filled with reasons why it's not a fair drag race. It rains people! It's a real world drag race because in the real world you have all kinds of weather.

[@BigMotorLover]

the teslas computer screen is bigger than the one i use in my house

[@BronchoGillespie]

Dan Trent the most nasal sounding man since uphillfreewheeler.

[@dcdttu]

Kinda shocking how little the McLaren driver knew about the Tesla. Is he sure he's a car enthusiast?

[@Tothefloor]

Love love love the drag race videos!

[@jamesknight5860]

Tesla: "I plan to make a lot of money with my next original car design, but no one saw me copy Aston Martin's Design!!!"

[@Ckcdillpickle]

The P90DL can only output 548HP. So the the P85DI should have around 477Hp

[@mazin2892]

Not surprising at all. Chris Harris drag raced a p1 vs rs6 and the rs6 was ahead for quite a bit.

[@mprziv]

So after one 1/4 mile drag race the Tesla needs to be recharged in order to be competitive?

[@mprziv]

***** just figured a $130,000 electric car with a range of 300 miles could do more than one 1/4 mile run before dropping off in performance.

[@wickensgames]

Be interested to see the results with a P90DL

[@BADBoyYaadie]

Why only 'Insane' mode, and not the slightly faster 'Ludicrous' mode? Did the 650S need a handicap?

[@vinceyap5833]

They need to do an electric vs turbo vs N/A

[@andrewgray9663]

Is this quite an equal race? The top speed of the Tesla seems to be limited to 155, not the McLaren. So the Tesla stopped accellerating.

[@asmrtalkinganimalshypnotiz3239]

Short term snap speed is the most important imo

[@Andresc1975]

...and the electrical technology has so much more to go. Just curious to know how many more launches the Tesla would do before discharging.

[@justincoleman1174]

I just bought a car that can stomp a Mclaren for 35k on carvana and I can load my kids in it lol

[@minesh5583]

Why not in ludicrous mode

[@wheezzl]

don't think the p85 has it, only the p90

[@TheoldSouth]

It has it, but Ludicrous Mode is an expensive optional extra.

[@wheezzl]

Harrison Conyers ah really, didn't know you have to pay extra for it, thanks!

[@flyingphoenix113]

Ooooo, another Tesla does well at drag racing. It's an impressive one trick pony, but acceleration gets old. It would be left behind by an A45 on the autobahn (let alone a proper AMG/RS/M), and it wouldn't have the range either. That's before we even mention charging times.

[@alfamonk]

you sound like a voice from the past.

[@HamadTVCars]

yes did a test with my RS3 against P85 rolling from 80, RS3 is faster

[@philippk1125]

he sounds intelligent

[@Finrecon1]

But not P85D.

[@eugenehvorostyanov2409]

+Finrecon1 Hugely depends on start speed. If it's pretty high, than tesla is already out of steam.

[@geetarz1]

Seven seat hatchback? The Tesla JUST fits 4 adults... if you're 6' or taller, you don't fit in the back. It's a two-seater with decent luggage space :)

[@c.b.8068]

What kind of drag race is true in the wet?

[@zolikoff]

The one where you want the AWD electric to look better than the RWD sports car... Who could've predicted that?

[@SpamMeGooglification]

Why not do three back to back launches? Oh, that's right. It can't handle that.

[@UDPride]

I constantly wonder how much Tesla pays these car reviewers not to test their cars from rolling starts or beyond about 115mph. Because in either case, a Tesla gets absolutely cream-sandwiched against just about any decent piston car. Other than traction and torque off the line, there is nothing in it for the Tesla. As soon as it gets past about 90mph it completely roaches out and has nothing left. Its an amazing 0-60 or 1/4 mi car, but for goodness sakes if that's all you have to hang your hat on, there's not much meat on the bone. Lets not even get into the vast natural resources and disposal considerations that Tesla cars burden us with. They are many things, but environmentally friendly is not one of them.

[@menakings23]

UDPride no one really drives over 90 in the US unless you want to pay hundreds in tickets

[@blakeallred7743]

it's a family sedan. let's keep that in mind.

[@naveenreddy9864]

I think it is convertible with open top heavy turbulent air means drag... Not fair .

[@Samsgarden]

So many people rush to defend the internal combustion engine. It's quite entertaining. Yeah but, yeah but..

[@Samsgarden]

Does it ever not rain in Britain?

[@karlmalone11]

Extremely wet track, pointless video

[@YachtReport]

It's not pointless. It rains in the real world so it's a real world test.

[@natebarry5553]

+eSysman but you do not launch a McLaren in the rain therefore this video is pointless

[@karlmalone11]

eSysman Most of the time it doesn't rain. It also snows in the real world. Want to do a drag race of a Mclaren in the snow? Again, pointless comparison.

[@petea7323]

I can't believe what a load of horse shit this video is. Do these idiotic presenters really think we believe it's a comparison between an engine and an electric motor. Two knuckle draggers proving nothing. If that's what autocar really thinks then I won't be buying any of their magazines.

[@petea7323]

[@Smoothy_boy]

The p85D does not have 600+ horsepower the p90d with insane mode does

[@DonLee1980]

You do know, the car does not have 690ps or whatever. It was a huge mislead stat they tried to get journalists to help promote for them. They've corrected it on their website and even the ludicrous P90D only has 530hp or so... that being said, electric motors are a lot more efficient especially without any gearboxes, so that's nearly 530hp directly to the wheels, where as IC cars have a 15% loss. Still doesn't give Tesla a free card to bullshit their customers to think they have 700hp.

[@SaschaPallenberg]

@Honfy Lam the Ludicrous has 762hp!

[@DonLee1980]

Sascha Pallenberg wtf dude. can you read? straight from Tesla website: Motor Power 503 hp rear, 259 hp front 532 hp (Ludicrous) * *Battery limited. The motors CAN do 762hp, but the car and its batteries can only do 532hp

[@SaschaPallenberg]

Honfy Lam well you have obviously a problem.. these 2 engines have 762hp combined and guess what? This is why it always overheats on a race track.

[@DonLee1980]

Sascha Pallenberg No dude. the car only has 532hp. and it still overheats. Mclaren don't go advertising that their turbo engines get 1500hp.... if you give it more air and gas and a ECU tune. You should only advertise how much power the car gives as how the car gives. The car only makes 532hp. They've stated it clearly on their website. learn to read

[@SaschaPallenberg]

Honfy Lam I am just telling you that the 4 electric engines Tesla uses in their top model s have 762hp. This is a fact. I obviously learned how to read because I am still replying to your bullshit here. Maybe you would like to educate yourself a little bit about electric engines, voltages and batteries.

[@robertr560]

[@G55STEYR]

A first good dragrace battle, with many tries

[@Imnotpedram]

Wet track and top down?

[@Xonatron]

1:27 for drag (1st of 3)

[@MagicSkeleton]

Excellent video. Great presenters. The thing about McLarens though is their mindbending refusal to stop accelerating, which is why you can get a 650S, 675LT and of course a P1 up to 200mph on a runway. These 1/4 mile drag races don't show what would have happened in the next 2-3 seconds for each car, which would have been illuminating. The Tesla is deeply impressive, but I wish these races were longer to see the full lung capacity of the McLaren.

[@jameslyons158]

I know this is 5 years old, but most people don’t race that long, it like literally only light to light in most cases. The Tesla will win every time

[@MagicSkeleton]

@@jameslyons158 True, but in the context of ‘is electric superior to ICE’ debate, all factors are relevant.

[@matthewhammant7001]

Why roof down on Mclaren, surely you're creating extra drag that can't help.

[@Alchemistic88]

Most people in the comments trying to put the Tesla down, glossing over the fact that it's a saloon car... They weren't even trying to make a sports car... They're going to keep getting better too. The new Tesla Roadster is set to be the fastest production car across the board with the longest range of any sports car. This isn't even supposed to be the fast Tesla...

[@zolikoff]

Yes they were, they were trying to make the car go as fast as possible and thus feed as much current as the motor will take. They succeeded, but you can see that no other manufacturer does that with their electric cars, because it's not good for the components.

[@beast-tl8di]

You're right, 3 years later a fast model s rolls along and sets multiple records...

[@atthelord]

Why not go the p90D ludicrous mode route?

[@stubones]

Why not go the Mclaren P1 route?

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

To be fair, the Tesla is a 4 door sedan, not a car built purely for performance.

[@stubones]

***** maybe because the Tesla only beat the 650S because the surface was wet so the whole result is irrelevant anyway.

[@atthelord]

+stubones because you can't buy a P1 anymore. Limited production run. Thought with sticky tires and 1/10th the cost I'm sure the tesla is still better value and just about as good within legal performance limits.

[@stubones]

Arman Talwar so what? Its not about whether a car is still available from a manufacturer. Why drone on about using a P90D when what they had to use was the P85D? If you want to use the best Tesla produces then why not use the best Mclaren produces? Heck, or even a 675LT. The result was skewed in favour of the Tesla because of the damp conditions, so it wasn't a conclusive result, just fun. I'd bet that a 650S in the dry using launch control would more or less match the P85D off the line and then pull away. This race was however, an excellent demonstration of the Tesla's AWD traction and immediate torque. In this instance a £50k Nissan GTR would have launched faster than the 650S and thats a "4 seater" (yes I know you need to be a small child or midget to sit in the back without needing to see a chiropractor afterwards).

[@john_p]

big tesla fan but its not 682hp its 500 and something maybe? - due to battery limitations

it looked like the Mac was slow to get off the line

[@chrisanderson2204]

Had the surface been dry 650S would've CLEANED the Tesla

[@carscigarsscotchnwatches5158]

So let me get this straight. The guy driving the TESLA gets the jump every time. The track is wet and the McLaren still WON two times in spite of a crappy driver. Seems pretty simple to me. How about putting the correct title to this.

[@NoName-sc8wn]

No question electric power is the future for cars. The combustion engine has had 100+ years of development in cars. Compare that to how far electric cars have come in such a short time. The advancement of technology will only propel the electric car further and further and leave the gas car in the dust.

[@GranDaddo]

Can someone point me to video where there is proper LAP time with P85/90D?

[@eugenehvorostyanov2409]

It's impossible, because there isn't one. Motor trend tried and failed because Tesla was overheating after just half a lap or so. They even bought a lot of ice in attempt to cool down tesla, fail again.

[@shaft9000]

They can't maintain charge for very long at full power. So while the S can "beat" many sports cars off the line, the weight and drain won't keep it ahead for very long.

[@eugenehvorostyanov2409]

shaft9000 And overheating.

[@bigmac1598]

Make the mcclaren the same weight as the tesla and then have a go

[@VatsalSingh007]

time to bring P100D in action..

[@1bwm474]

Only won because the top speed of the Tesla is 155 and added enough distance for the McLaren to catch up.both impressive cars, but the race was designed to cause the Tesla to lose.

[@ishmaster333]

why would you race in the wet?? awd vs 2wd the 650s is a 2.9sec to 60mph.

[@AmericanBadAss2.0]

Why is there only videos of Tesla cars doing quarter-mile drag races? I want to see @ least Half mile drag race!

[@rishm7526]

Tesla P90d (Ludicrous Mode) vs Porsche 911 Turbo S.

[@akieabdul]

How does the tesla launch with no wheel spin with so much torque??? I understand that it's all wheel drive but even the 911 turbo s which has the engine sitting on the rear wheels has slight wheel spin in the dry. This tesla has none even in the damp! How is this possible?

[@petea7323]

Why oh why are they doing this in the wet? This isn't about engine power it's about traction. On a good road the mclaren would wipe the floor with it. It's half the weight. Battery cars are good but it weighs as much as a bus.

can it be that the teslas battery started dying?

Why not P90D Ludicrous? Scared???

Same McLaren, but this time a 2017 Tesla Model S P90D with Ludricous mode. Please make it happen. In all fairness. Petrol-heads are rejoicing now, a new race will prove otherwise.
