Archie Hamilton Racing didn't provided any data about the length of strip used to measure the two cars, so we are not sure whether it was a true 1/4 of a mile or not.
Anyway, the Tesla was naturally quicker at the start, both from a standstill and from a rolling start, but the Audi R8 V10 with an endless track eventually runs down the P100D.
As the Tesla Model S is full-size sedan with 5+2 seats, and the Audi R8 is strictly 'sports car fabulous', the results are pretty encouraging to those choosing the Tesla as a daily driver.
