Tesla Model S Beats Acura NSX, Nissan GT-R Down the Quarter Mile
The Tesla Model S P100D with Ludicrous+ is the fastest production sedan down the quarter mile.
There was a time that people mocked electric cars, saying they were slow and didn’t offer enough range. Tesla has since debunked all those misconceptions with its Model S and Model X. The American automaker recently rolled out Ludicrous+ mode to owners, with some reporting a zero-to-60-mph time of under 2.4 seconds. But how does the Model S P100D fare down the drag strip with Ludicrous+ Mode? The crazy people at DragTimes wanted to find out.

We already know the Tesla Model S P100D without the Ludicrous+ update held the record for fastest production four-door sedan when it comes to quarter-mile times, so it’s not a surprise that Ludicrous+ has taken the record, beating it by 0.04 seconds. It may not seem much on paper, but it’s a record nonetheless and its time of 10.72 @ 120.27 mph is quicker than supercars like the Acura NSX and Nissan GT-R.
