Ferrari F12 Edges Out Tesla Model S P85D by Just Half-A-Second in the Quarter-Mile
The way the Tesla flies off the line is mind-boggling. Since its release late last year, the new Tesla Models S P85D has been destroying pretty much any car it’s come across.

The 682-hp EV animal has taken down the likes of a Ferrari 550 and a Dodge Challenger Hellcat, but the Ferrari F12 is possibly its biggest adversary yet. Displaying its awesome powers of instant torque (and aided somewhat by AWD), the Tesla flies off the line, as the rear wheels of the Ferrari struggle for traction.

But it doesn’t take long for the 730-hp V12-powered Italian stallion to peg it back, finishing fractionally ahead of the Californian cruiser at the quarter-mile mark.
