This special drag race pitches the electric motor against the internal combustion engine.
The electric all-wheel drive Tesla Model S P85D in 'Insane' mode has two electric motors that produce 682bhp and 687lb ft of instantly available torque. A foregone conclusion? Think again.
The rear-wheel drive McLaren 650S Spider is powered by a twin-turbo 3.8-litre V8 with 641bhp, it has launch control, and it's lighter than the Tesla. Watch the video to see what car wins.
