5. Tesla Model S P1000D
Electric cars are the future of passenger car transport. In just a few years, zero emissions models have traveled a long way from being a novelty to being a regular production item and street décor. One of the cars that single-handedly transformed public opinion about electric cars is the Tesla Model S.
Not only did it display great comfort, quality, equipment and a decent range, it also displayed unbelievable performance and acceleration numbers. The most powerful Model S with the Ludacris update by the factory can travel to 60 mph from a standing start in just 2.2 seconds. This beats the whole line of gasoline-powered hypercars and sports models. You might ask how is it possible for an electric car to accelerate so quickly. The answer is the drivetrain and the specifics of the electric motor.
The Tesla Model S has all-wheel drive with four independent engines powering each wheel. The electric motor is a simple device that can produce its maximum torque immediately, unlike gasoline-powered engines that have to rev to achieve power.
So, in real-world situations, an electric car can accelerate much faster because it mobilizes all its power without waiting. In contrast, gasoline-powered cars need to build up revs and spend time chasing the ideal torque curve. No doubt electric cars will continue to deliver crazy performance. This is only the beginning.
