A Tesla Model X raced a Lamborghini Aventador, guess which car won
Typically, you wouldn't race an SUV against a race-oriented supercar, but in the case of Tesla, everything is possible.
A YouTube video posted by DragTimes over the weekend shows a Tesla Model X P100D pit a Lamborghini Aventador SV in a drag race.
Tesla won.
True, the win was by the slightest of margins. True, Tesla had a better start. And true, the Lambo was catching up fast by the end. But it's still insane to see a 5,400 pound SUV worth $165,000 win a race against an iconic supercar that weighs 4,200 pounds, and has a $530,000 price tag.
The Tesla Model X's 11.418 second time also set the world record for the quickest-ever SUV at a quarter mile race. Not a bad day for Tesla.
And if you just spent half a million dollars on a supercar, you can comfort yourself with the second part of the video, in which the same Lamborghini fares a lot better vs. a Tesla Model S.
