What’s faster in a drag race… a Formula 1 car or a Tesla Model S P100D?
Note: The Moose test was not to official spec, meaning the speeds are higher than official results.
Tesla’s are known all over the internet for their incredible torque – and for beating tried and tested cars in drag races. But the ultimate test is against an F1 car.
What better way to launch our new YouTube channel than to drag race a Tesla and a Formula One car?
We run these two cars through four challenges: a standing quarter-mile, a rolling quarter-mile, 0-100-0mph acceleration and brake test and finally, our favourite, the Moose Test.
The Tesla P100D has 500kW (671 hp) and 701 lb-ft of torque. It is all-wheel-drive and can accelerate to 62mph in 2..7 seconds – reaching a top speed of 155 mph.
This Formula 1 car is a V10 Benetton with 770 hp. It only weighs 525kg, so the power-to-weight ratio is in fact higher than a modern F1 car at 1466 hp/ton. Safe to say, it’s very fast!

Why no Plaid? Well they are pretty hard to get hold of in the UK – but are looking to run the test again in the future! If you have one, get in touch!
We want the f1 v the mighty nevera
Now do the plaid
Not a fair race
What kind of F1 is it? One from 1974, and look at the worn tires…
Conclusion: So tesla is nothing once you are driving 😄
still….a production car that is that close to an f1…daymmnnn gina! lets gooooo!
Remakes all the test, but in the wet condition
That's Torque vs Horsepower vs Weight for you ! On the brake test It kept going and going and going for what seemed to be forever… Wow.
I wonder if the Plaid would do better?
Almost bought a tesla
but u have changed my mind..
Cheer up internal combustion engine !!
Formula One Car fucked the fucking electric Tesla.
that is an indy car……..
Wooow
Ok now do plaid…
Then you have to stop and charge for several hours vs 30 seconds in a patrol car.
Electrical charges move faster than the pistons of a combustion engine, no need to combust, for sure takes off faster but not as powerful
Making an F1 car do a drag race is like making a gymnast do the shot put. Makes zero sense. It’s not “the ultimate competitor”.
All this accomplishes is the reinforcement that all evs are good for is the one pony trick of straight line acceleration. No one takes them to the track because it would be an utter embarrassment.
Also, note that the guy driving the tesla said he was terrified and excited because of the F1 car.
Sound matters folks.
Guy tries to gap be pulls up in f1
The Tesla doesn't have anything on the rimac I actually don't think there's anything out there that would beat it on four wheels
Shame he doesn't rev out the F1 car – it surely lost some speed, as it has its performance in the top rev rangw.
I like to find out tesla fanboys are too stupid to understand or just basically just delusional
Do a plaid next
what made this guy think the F1 would LOSE the brake test??
Just imagine a modern day f1 car
A v10 btw
Not even a first corner and the F1 smashed the Tesla.
In just 1 turn I bet the Tesla would struggle to be even in view of the F1 mirrors.
That's it, I'm buying a benetton
Fuck tesla ayyyyyday !!! Shit cheap quality ….
Man why not plaid yo
Modern 1.6 turbo 2021 F1 cars might be the fastest cars ever built but when I heard that V10 roar sweet childhood memories came back to me🥺
Can you do this test again with the Tesla Model S Plaid?
Can’t wait to see this test with the Tesla Roadster then… It’s over 🤯
Man if people are impress by this, they'd would shit their pants to see a street legal 10.5 outlaw fox body run 5's in the 1/4 mile @250+ mph..
I love how the F1 struggles with the traction. And that V10 cutting sound. Damn.
I figured the Tesla would jump ahead off the line
Repeat it with the new Tesla and let's see who wins
