Tesla Model S P100D broke all records of speed in the history of fast cars. The new beast made a 2.27-second mark and cracked the 2.3-second mark previously owned by Porsche 911 Turbo S. This also means it has exceeded its promise to accelerate 60 mph in 2.4 seconds

The new supercar from Tesla now becomes the first production car tested by Motor Trend to have made the 2.27-second mark, beating past records of speed of other fast cars. The new supercar weighs 4,891 pounds and reached a 60 mph with the unbelievable amount of time. The last record holder was the Porsche 911 Turbo S which made a 2.3-second mark last November 2016.

With this new speed record, Tesla has crushed not only the pricey Porsche 911 Turbo S, but the other speedy and luxurious brands as well. Tesla Model S P100D was now put ahead of similar $1.5-million worth McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari.

Meanwhile, prior to the release of this new supercar, it can be recalled that Tesla teased about launching a super fast car. The automaker has previously made a promise to release a new model which has the ability to accelerate up to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to his official Twitter account in November, a powerful statement which deems to be proven correct now. In the tweet, Elon Musk said, "Looks like the Model S P100D Easter egg will allow it to do 0 to 60 mph in 2.4 sec." Now, the test drive has proven that the new supercar has even exceeded its projected speed.

Apparently, you too can further verify the super speed capacity of your own Tesla Model S P100D. You may want to check this link as Motor Trend has given tips on how you can perform the test drive too.
