It's on - a drag race of epic proportions. It's the world's fastest four-door sedan, the Tesla Model S P85D, against Australia's fastest four-door sedans, the Supercheap Auto Racing Holden Commodore V8 Supercar and the Walkinshaw Performance W507 HSV GTS.
The Tesla Model S P85D rockets from 0-100km/h in just 3.3-seconds, while the V8 Supercar does it in 3.4-seconds, but weighs just 1400kg with the driver.
Strap on as we see who wins - USA v Australia.
Presented by Paul Maric ( / paulmaric ) and David Zalstein. Videography by Igor Solomon. Aerial Video by Lentez Aerials.

That's the most polite trash talking I've ever heard.
+izzy104 proper filthy m8/8.
Ikr
Especially in Australia
That’s it, done deal. I own a 500 hp commodore and wouldn’t even bother trying against those RC cars😂 I’d just rather have the sound and rumble of a v8 any day then silence tho, in saying all that.
I enjoyed this Aussie Seth McFarlane.
+TheoBrixtonTheKid HAHAHA I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!!
I thought he looked familiar hahaha
It's the quiet ones you need to watch out for..
+WeighAwesome Did you fart again??
lol
+WeighAwesome the quiet, affordable, supercars you need to watch out for
Why are they going to start to have 3 lap supercar races ?
Especially those school shooters lol just kidding don’t crucify me introverts
“Hey Tim, what r u listening to over there?”
Sounds of epic Aussie v8 idling
“Oh...good”
except it's not an Aussie V8.... it's a Chev
Indeed
Four wheel drive and instant torque. No competition
like a hole ton heavier ?
Jarvie Stenhouse
Not important obviously haha
haha
in case your are actually blind, i'll just be kind and recap for you. tesla was still pulling away after the dinosaur regained full traction. it wasn't until late in the second half of the race did the no-gearbox EV showed slight weakness in high speed acceleration.
A whole tonne heavier, but SO MUCH TORQUE!!! The 100D has been dyno'd at near 1000lb/ft, or 1355Nm, which is ridiculous. That's getting close to heavy duty truck engine numbers. The ones designed to tow 40+ tonnes.
"It weighs less than my glovebox" xD
Brilliant humor throughout, loved it.
+Boreasos Aussies are like that - even drongos from WoopWoop are brilliant dags.
As much of a fan as I am of the Tesla, I really did think the V8 supercar would have been much closer. Sucks that it got smoked, I love those supercars. But god damn, that Tesla is crazy.
What's mind boggling to think is if Tesla made an out and out supercar I wouldn't be surprised if the thing warped into another fucking dimension.
+youtubasoarus I think the issue with that race was gearing and set up. That racecar wasn't built to be quick from a dead stop, and so it wasn't.
+youtubasoarus Have you seen their Vision GT? It looks insane an will likely just be a warp button.
+youtubasoarus If the test involved corners, the supercar would have smoked the Tesla. That said, the Model S is an amazing piece of engineering, I can't wait until the day that it represents the norm on the road.
+Azad Jalali That would be a pretty unfair comparison. Of course the V8 Supercar would've won, it is a highly modified racing car, with slicks and aero. The Tesla is stock and not homologated, and is really just a rather advanced electric family sedan. When compared to normal cars, it still does pretty well around corners, pulling 0.87 G on skidpad tests.
+Peifeng Wang I don't think it would be a fair comparison with that car specifically, but it should have been part of the test. I don't think .87 G is very competitive for the Model S's price bracket. That said, I expect my next car purchase will be an electric car regardless of which takes corners faster today or in the future, so this is a bit moot.
If this is how good Tesla can make their electric cars after only 10 years in the business, imagine how good they will be in 20 years' time!
They'll all be self-driving and go at super speed.
+Margaret Mansell they already are selfdriving to a degree ;)
+Helly32 I hope they get cheaper then
+Helly32 I wouldn't be too euphoric about Tesla. Sure, the company has done very well and the model s is an awesome machine, but you mostly only see 0-60 or quarter mile performance tests, because this is the area where electric vehicles have their main advantage compared to petrol or diesel cars due to their charactaristic torque curve. But on mountain roads, the autobahn or racetracks the tesla still can't compete with it's rivals because of the very high weight (altough the low center of gravity makes up for it a bit), overheating (it can't perform one full lap on the nurburgring at full power) and the torque curve (acceleration is a lot worse at higher speeds). The biggest problem with telsa is that it is not profitable and won't be in the near future. That is what prevents other brands to really get into the electric car business. But as soon as batteries become cheaper, the big car companies will also start building really good electric cars but probably for a better price (simply because they are much more experienced and thus efficient in the manufacturing process) and tesla will get a really hard time maintaining it's success. Sorry for my bad english :)
+alergej model s is not Tesla's end game, its all about the model 3 which will revolutionise the e car for joe blow. This is just something to get the ball rolling and grab people's attention.
they should have put it against a fpv f6 that some ford bogan had tuned in a shed
This is exactly the type of people I'm relishing on 'racing' on the real roads when they try and tailgate and intimidate you loo
@m4rcd27 lol.. wtf are you on about. Dosent matter what you like out of the two but the F6s smash the V8s, the Miami made more power than blown LS's with 1200cc less motor. You're a munter. Go enjoy your front wheel drive Opel shitbox
@ss this comment was 3 years ago so I'm going to assume that you've wised up by now, unless you don't like facts lmao.
@ss maybe to you personally but ford is completely relevant to this thread, only because you said what you said 🤣 but okay, good use of your brain...
@ss oh shit, alright genius, I think it's time you got to bed, before you hurt your head. If you can't understand something this simple I really feel for you. The only thing pointless about this is me trying to get any sense out of you.
the tesla won but still he talks about the sensational sound of a v8
now that is standard
You can play V8 on surround sound in the Tesla, if that's your preferred music.
Brian Vogt
ipI think you missed the point, no matter how stupidly fast electrics get there just is something about a loud carburated car that makes me prefferr it over electrics.
I call that soul
@@silviosantapaola2825 - I'm sure you missed the point. If the surround sound system plays a recording of a loud carburetted car (or even better: a speed-related simulation), you won't know the difference.

To be hones I do not even care to find out, electric cars are and in my eyes always will be a proof of concept , interesting at best.

Awesome video! Without even mentioning that there's a ludicrous mode to lengthen the lead!
+Alexei Watson And that the 250km/h speed limit of the Tesla is artificially limited, with a software update the car could go even faster.
Ok that was the best segment you guys have done yet! As an American who loves watching about cars in Australia that I can't buy/drive, this is the kind of thing I enjoy so more like this please:)
+Chris Dooley Dont worry man, you can buy lots of thing powered by an LS running an Aussie designed chassis in the states. The Tesla on the other hand, that's pretty unique.
+ROBtimesTEN Not exactly clear what you're saying, but you can buy a tesla in the US.
+aP1atypus i believe he was talking about the HSV Walkinshaw
Thanks :-)
+Mcdoggus exactly what I was referring to - there are plenty of Americans who drool over the TWR and your Utes we just can't get here unless you go to a super expensive specialty importer :(
The comments are like watching the dinosaurs debate the trajectory of the asteroid.
GoldSilver (w/ Mike Maloney) at 150k for the tesla i think not..
Tesla have major flaws as a company which makes life difficult for Tesla owners. Here in Australia, where do you send your Tesla for servicing or repairs ? Tesla only has 6 shops in Australia and no infrastructure like the other car companies with dealerships everywhere. And from researching Teslas, they have a few drawbacks, EVERYTHING has to be done by someone authorized, even the paint, because of the amount of sensors on a Tesla if the paint is too thick it interferes with the sensors. And Tesla have the monopoly on parts, google some of the prices for parts if you can get them. Most the stuff i have seen on Tesla's is from America, but a slight crash and i mean slight as in a dent, is enough for an insurance company to write the whole care off, because they are so expensive and hard to repair.
I think for that sort of money i would stick with a more mainstream company
That's a perfect analogy.
peter neagle, yeah, but that's you and not everybody is you.
Hahahaha! that's a fantastic line Gold :D
That was fantastic. I remember when electric car trials across Australia were all covered with solar panels and top speed of about 60kph.

Meanwhile, here in the real world in Australia I have owned a Model S for almost a year. Running costs have been an extra $20/quarter on my power bill - lost solar feed in. I won't be needing to get it serviced any time soon, the brakes and discs will last 8+ years, the battery has more than 7 years remaining warranty, the whole car has more than three years warranty left, I have never been beaten by anyone who wanted to have a go at the lights, I can merge and pass instantly and silently no matter what, I have more interior space than a full sized SUV, I have double the load space of a full sized SUV and triple that of any other sedan. I haven't been to a petrol station this year, I get free energy whilst parked at my local shopping centre or my favourite nearby restaurants - that's free parking and free 'fuel' while I'm parked. The car has had two performance enhancing software updates since I bought it - so it has gotten better with age - for free.
The Tesla Model S is also the safest car money can buy, I have had no issues doing any of my usual family road trips with regards to range and charging and you know what, the best feature out of all is that I can leave it parked in the hot sun and when I am heading back to the car, turn on the air conditioning with my phone or watch and get into a car cooled to a perfect 21c.
+Matthew Baird It would be awesome if future Teslas have roofs that are solar so that the car will always be cooled no matter where you parked it. Just like some Maybachs.
+Matthew Baird Sold man I want 1. You forgot no oil leaks...
ut2k4wikichici you're just full of nice things to say.
+Matthew Baird DUde, You can Buy Tesla Solar Panel for just 3500$ ... itll provide free electricity to ur house during the day, and of course, charging your Tesla during night!
That video was hilarious. I really enjoyed it. Great humor and informative.
Thanks!

I didn't know Seth Macfarlane was an Aussie.
+Kaiser - Paul is Peter Griffin's secret love child.
I'm going to make a few videos of petrol stations to show my kids. He's only 3 and he knows a petrol station when he sees one... but alas, this era is coming to an end. Not abruptly. Not immediately, but slowly but surely the electric era will dominate.
In the future, people will drive around in old cars that emit sounds of petrol engines. Perhaps they will vibrate, too. But, pop the hood and you'll find an electric donk in there. Real petrol engines will be few and far between.
50 years from now, if you ever manage to drive your internal combustion engine down the main strip, it will initially be faced with scepticism "Ohh yeah sure, that aint a real internal combustion engine. It's just an electric engine with speakers."
Then... you pop the hood and everyone will gasp. It will put a smile on people's faces. Imagine... these engines filled practically every car in the world for a century. The sound was glorious. The ride was mesmerising. It was an amazing time in human history. Such nostalgic imagery would undoubtedly be very selective. We will remember the good and forget the bad.
The internal combustion engine, after all is said and done, is a complete and utter hack. It always has been. Through pragmatism and sheer willpower we have made it refined. In the words of Reeves Callaway: "If you think about all the parts required to get something as archaic as the internal combustion engine to work properly, you'd go crazy - the device normally shouldn't work very well. But, after a century of constant evolution it is an example of execution over design."
Electric motors? My gosh... so straight forward. So simple it's embarrassing. You see what these first generation Teslas can do? That was nothing. The tech is not even trying. There's not even decent competition in the electric car space yet. But competition IS coming... and when it comes in 2016, 2017, 2020... 2025... my gosh... it won't even be a contest anymore.
The electric car's reputation is not going to be made on videos such as this. It's going to be made on the streets. In countless drag races across the world. The traffic light grand prix. One by one, petrol enthusiasts will fall. Confident in their machinery to prevail... and in the seconds after the lights go green watch the brutal stark reality flood over their gaze.
That's not to say that there isn't something awesome about internal combustion engines. They will be sorely missed. Many will become collectors items... but don't try and pit them against the new stuff. It's a battle that seems neck and neck at the moment - but as time goes on it's just going to get silly.
There is more to love about internal combustion than speed. There is no shame in admitting a quicker and more powerful tech that is transitioning our personal mode of terrestrial transport. You got something special to share your kids and your grand kids when all this ALL THIS people... is gone. You have a special place in history.
You got to drive internal combustion engined vehicles. Be proud of that. Remember that.
I love v8s and I own one as well. I think in the future petrol powered engines will only be available for cars aimed at enthusiasts and electric motors will inherit the roads. But it's not all bad, that tesla looks dynamite.
this was a really honest video. They admitted they lost and didn't make too much of a fuzz about it. top job!
+AntFilledBeach I'm sure it was just a publicity stunt. Even Tim Slade said from the Tesla's figures, that it was going to be hard to beat.
wow! surprising how well they all preformed.
I didn't know Seth McFarlane's twin (or Doppelgänger) was that much into cars..
He is - but wishes Seth would return his calls.
Those who say _"Ohh it's not the same feeling, not the same whine"_ is akin to some old fella saying they miss the whine of their horse with the carriage :D :D
Yeah technology is tearing down petrol motors, accept it.
- On a race track, performance matters - acceleration and speed. The car delivers. Garages don't care about high rpm sounds.
- For governments etc, low pollution matters. The car delivers.
- For normal people, efficiency and quietness matter (on top of all above). The car delivers.
This technology will only improve, but surely take over everything in no time.
You are still allowed to whip out your old petrol engine car and take it for a ride, people will reminisce indeed with "awww" smiles on how undeveloped we were. It will make nice humbling moments.
+Roxy B True, but technology will only improve, that is guaranteed, battery life-wise.
Not only that, but just like we have petrol stations (as your regular car also can't run infinite kms), we'll have recharge stations that may not take hours like it does now :)
I had also read ideas about roads that recharge the car from beneath, on the go - i.e. for buses on bus lanes it's a viable plan and research area.
At the rate technology evolves (and has evolved), it would be really surprising if in 50 years' time we'd still use petrol engines and see this as an abandoned idea (which, already worked)
+GaborBartal Plenty of whining coming from the owners of fossil cars too.
+Roxy B GO CRY ME A RIVER......
+Roxy B By overnight recharge do you mean 20 minute recharges? Because that's what Tesla owners have access to. Not to me mention over 400km range every morning. You might want to get some more facts.
+Roxy B "normal" people don't do more than 500km in a day. I don't know if you have seen the range of a normal car with a normal tank of petrol the average is around 600km. I'd take an overnight charge that costs $5 over a $80 fuel bill every second day in your "normal" scenario any day.
I'd also like to point out that and electricity power point is more readily available and convenient then going to a petrol station
Roxy B is just disappointed that in the near future they won't be able to compensate for having no brains and a shit life with annoying others by excessively revving their engine.
Why do most Holden drivers hang out the windows while driving?
To hold the side panels on so they don't fall off.

@@lastpally I think the point that he was trying to make is the Tesla is a 4 door sedan family car and street legal. The V8 is yes technically a 4 door sedan its still a supercar, meaning a Tesla isn't built to be on a track. Its not even built to be the best 0-60 times etc. It has quick 0-60 times because it's electric. And lets be honest every single person knows that a V8 supercar is far superior in speed, cornering and kind of everything to do with racing no questions asked. Just the Tesla is quick off the mark
Lolol gtr would have nothing
when he beats the v8 supercar: (removes sunglasses) "mother of God!"
It's because its electric that's all. Instant power to the wheels is a powerful thing clearly
Without insane mode that Tesla would have got smoked
@@michaelcavanough7049 that’s like putting ur car into eco mode and racing 😂
Ironically the "supercar" is still cheaper than the tesla in Australia. Even the "budget" model 3 tesla is like 90,000 aud and way more for sport mode or whatever they call it. Also on an actual Australia open highway rally, the holden would easily win....because the tesla would run out of charge...
@@manchiststechnicolourarchi5606 agree
When Tesla releases their second generation roadster, it won't be racing cars, it will be racing jet aircraft... and winning.
Not necessarily winning, but against jets? Hell yes, every week!
Not hard to beat a jet off the line. Thrust is not instant.
smh
Actually I don't think so. Electric cars are not that great of racing cars. Instant torque sure but max speed is pretty hard to keep up because the motors would overheat.
A Tesla car on a runway alongside a jet aircraft? No-one would be that crazy! Well, except maybe the US Air Force: th-cam.com/video/xZ6hwzGs8O0/w-d-xo.htmlm53s
Can't beat the sound of a roaring V8.
Unbelievable, I wouldn't have thought that possible.
All these comments that start with "IF". If the racecar had a proper driver, if this if that. Well if any of those ifs came true, you could just trot out the fastest Tesla and pants the car again. This one *ISN'T EVEN THE FASTEST TESLA*. This one is 2 year old tech, with insane mode. The fastest ones have Ludicrous mode and are about half a second quicker 0-100. Half a second is basically *forever*. The fast Tesla is as much faster than this one as this one is faster than the petrol car.

Everyone! Look up 1320s video of the Telsla trolling the streets. I love my Holden V8s, but these electric cars are very, very capable. Good video.
Also, keep in mind muscle cars are more known for top speed, not acceleration. The Tesla has great top speed and lightning acceleration.
To be fair and balanced, also look up tesla sets fire to itself in Carpark. And btw, muscle cars are known for acceleration, not top speed- that's why quarter mile times are the main talking point of performance. Supercars are all about top speed like the XJ220 Jag, F50 Ferrari, Bugatti veyron etc.
Now give them a lap around the track and let's see who comes in first

That is the mot impressive car I have ever seen. I'm not a car lover but if cars turn out like this a will become one.
This didn't surprise me a bit. I drive locomotives and I can tell you that in railway world, an electric locomotive will out accelerate a diesel with twice the horsepower. Take a NSWGR 46 class with 3,400 (starting) hp and weighing 120 tons and no train behind. Stand behind the driver's seat and smash the throttle. It will throw you against the rear wall of the cab so hard and until she tops out, you can't get off the wall or even tilt your head forward. We used to do that for fun whenever the opportunity presented itself (sadly, not often). A bit like riding the Rotor at Luna Park, but in a straight line. Whether it's a locomotive or a car, nothing beats electric.

A Golf with a diesel would kill the Tesla after three laps or so, but no fanboys want to see that. You would need some serious hardware to catch it in a straight line, but it's way too heavy and limited for some twisty turns.
+beernutsonline A golf with a diesel would not even be in the race. What is it, 0-100 in 10 seconds? Sorry 8.2 seconds. It's still good for an average car, but not like this Tesla that is about to take off.
+Peter Stone The Tesla is an impressive machine, but will go into protective mode pretty fast. It's not designed for that power output over time. But for a lap or two, it's pretty fast! :) No wonder it sells as good as it does in Norway, it has the same price as an A6 or E-class Merc thanks to insane tax rules!

Oh there's a choice, new Tesla or new Commodore? OK, scratch the Commodore.
@rsm 287 I know but your still driving a hairdryer
It impressed me this video. But the thing that impressed me more was seeing Paul Mavics name. It's nearly the same as mine😲👍😂
Great video. Great commentators. Keep it up guys!
It's funny that you can take a really comfortable sedan and race the lights against a nicely equipped Corvette or some other sports car and have reasonable expectations of winning, especially if you've opted for the Ludicrous Speed option on yours Tesla.
Why is it you only seem to see Teslas in a straight line drag race. When they say worlds fastest 4 door, is this top speed or over a given distance to to a specific speed?
0-60(or 0-100) is where it gets that title. Because of its instant torque it smashes gas cars, but top speed it falls flat on its face. The Alpina B7 and Dodge Charger Hellcats are examples of cars that would smoke a Tesla in top speed. I feel "the worlds fastest sedan" title should go to the car with the fastest top speed, not acceleration.
Golf carts and washing machines also have good torque
Never knew Seth McFarlane was an Aussie car enthusiast!
Please excuse me while I go and change my pants. Forget Holden muscle cars, Lamborghini, Ferrari forget the rest...this the now vehicle. No question that this is the must have car of the future...now! If I could I would!
Just when the sound of gas engines starts to sound so historical/obsolete. Welcome Tesla. Time to continue kicking a&& :-)
yes, future is bright. No stupid fuel injectors, no stupid fuel pumps, no stupid turbos, no stupid watter pumps, no stupid smelly gas and so on and on. I am so annoyed of owning internal combustion vehicles... The time will come..
+Tadas yes man! can't wait to own one...
It is an exciting new world we are entering - but don't get too smug until you know everything about the longevity and lifecycle of those EV batteries...
I do prefer cars that use an internal combustion engine but when the time comes (Which it will) when we have to use electric cars I'll just drive like a maniac in silence.
How bout this question. WHICH CAR SOUNDS BETTER?
No .
Not a Holden fan but it's a shame the company has gone.
seth macfarlane?
Same mothers - different fathers.
Why are people butthurt about electric motors? Electric motors were ALWAYS more powerful than anything combustion powered. It's only a matter of time before they make them even more insane
Without the wind drag from Tim Slades jaw, the supercar would have smoked the Tesla.
The sound of dinosaurs screaming.... and in their death throes.
Insane Mode!!!! I need it!
Incredible performance from the Tesla. We should all be driving electric cars, you have to wonder the health effects of living next to a busy main road or a indoor car park with a heap of cars idling. It gives you a bad headache. With performance like that, I hope electric cars become the norm.
that's not even the P90D
Ok now do it on an actual race track instead of just straight line.
The way that second commodore come around corner like its ready to take anything for breakfast
it hurts to watch this but, no matter what happens in the future, hearing that rumble, purr or roar from the petrol fueled engine under the hood of my car will always be half the experience of driving a car for me, driving in silence will make me go insane, no doubt about it.
Fast Forward to 2020. Roadster 2 going to wipe the floor with all the old fossil fuel powered dinosaurs.
Robin Bockman try beating a top fuel dragster
I'd rather hear the sound of my engine instead of weeeeeeeeee
the revenge of the electric car....nice
Damn that wasn't even a competition
The super car had a better stereo.
What a testament to EVs, they are ahead and will just keep getting better!
Yeah, and the people near an army base often complain about noise too.
Some plonkers just don't want anyone else to have fun.
what's the tow capacity on a tesla?
+valetdabess Electric engine.. The latest Tesla Model X has a 5-tonne towing capacity...
+Stitch Lmao, I'm used to metric measurements! It has a 5,000 pound towing capacity.. NOT 5 tonne! LOL!
+Stitch Like a 2.268 tonne
+Abderraouf Adjal Yeah.. In my head I converted 5,000 pounds to 5 ton (because I'm used to the base-10 found in the metric system!) 2.268 tonne sounds right.
+valetdabess Oh. Thats intresting. Considiring how heavy tesla is it should have way more than your average sedan.
love this Tesla
you can not beat it you may as well JOIN in and save the Planet....
Raw Tee did you hear that v8?
I missed my Holdens🥰👍
Couldn't care less, nothing beats the sound and feel of a real mechanical big V8 engine under the hood. 🎶 2 my 👂's
quickest not fastest
We know, we know. Paul's an engineer. We had a hard enough time getting him to use actual words and not a calculator that just says 80085.
Quickest equals fastest in my book?
Why?
Because there are no roads where i can be fast instead of quick.
GabKoost no one gives a fuck about your book mate
no comment
YOU don't because it ruins your little perfect life.
GabKoost nah mate your just mad cuz your wrong
Excuses. Electric is the way to go. Imagine what I could fit in the Tesla if I could spend $1 million in it, which is what the V8 is worth. Would put that supercar to shame.
@Jai Rey nah his mum only charges $20😉
The v8 motor is worth nowhere near a million dollars
Just to show you how fast the Tesla is, this car wasn't even in Ludicrous Mode which is even faster (about .4 of a second faster to 100kmh). This car was just in Insane Mode. And what skews the results even more is that the Tesla can get these results by any moron who can push their foot down when the light turns green. The race car needed a professional race car drivers to time the shifts correctly and make sure the tires don't spin at the start. It takes a LOT more skill to get great times in a manual car. The times Road & Track or Car & Driver or Motor Trend get when testing exotic vehicles are by highly skilled drivers. The average Joe won't match those times if he drives the car. But with the Tesla it doesn't really matter what your skill level is. ANYONE (even Grandmas) can get the same time as a skilled race car driver. Bravo Tesla (can you tell I'm a shareholder)!!!
spiegel has
Maybe we should try the Tesla Roadster next
Making all that Noise...and getting NO WHERE
Go drive one. Bet you got no car to drive at all
electric cars have Have great torque and faster aceleration it's not a new thing,i have been fond of tesla from the beginning.
RIP gasoline cars.
cory2146 rip Tesla against top fuel dragsters
