If you believed the Tesla Model S P100D was fast, the quicker version of Tesla’s flagship sedan, the Model S Performance, requires things up a notch. CarWow recently matched it from a Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster to find out what it can do.

Much like the Model S P100D that it replaced, the Tesla Model S Performance is still powered by two electric motors and a 100 kWh battery pack. However, it now produces the equal of 825 hp and also 958 lb-ft (1,300 Nm) of torque and will be capable of acceleration once unthinkable to get a road-going production automobile.

However, it’s important to remember the Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster isn’t a slouch. Powered with a 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12 engine, the vehicle is excellent for 730 hp at 8,400 rpm and 509 lb-ft (690 Nm) of torque at 5,500 rpm. Such as the pre-facelift Aventadorthis engine is coupled into some seven-speed ISR transmission sending power to all four wheels and allowing the Italian supercar to hit 62 miles (100 km/h) in under 3 minutes.

For its tests, CarWow first set out to determine which is quickest to the quarter-mile down. At the first race, the Tesla won since the Lamborghini got a poor start off the line. In the second race, it was a dead heat with both cars completing the quarter-mile in 10.6 minutes. In the next and last race, the Tesla came out on top and set a storming period of 10.4 seconds in contrast to the 10.6 minutes of this Lamborghini.
