https://finance.nine.com.au/2017/12/01/14/38/tesla-model-x-beats-supercar-while-towing-an-1800kg-trailer Tesla’s Model X races a sportscar towing an 1800kg trailer 2017/12/01 Stuart Marsh
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has posted a video to Instagram in which he pitted an all-electric Tesla Model X against an Alfa Romeo sportscar in a drag race 0 and the Model X wins. That would be surprising enough – considering the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider can do 0-100km.h in 4.5 seconds – but there's a catch: The Model X was towing another Alfa Romeo 4C Spider when it did it. With the weight of the supercar and the trailer combined, the Model X was towing roughly 1800kg, well within its factory tow limit of 2500 kg. Whether it's a carefully scripted piece of Tesla advertising or a legitimate test, the footage is incredible considering the 4C Spider weighs 1700 kg less than the Model X. The 4C is no slouch either. With a 1750 cc turbocharged four-cylinder engine and weighing just 850kg, it's got a top speed of 258 km/h and can out-pace a Lamborghini in a straight line. Musk declined to provide comment on Instagram other than the simple label of "Racing video part 2". "This wasn't a scientific race and we didn't use any testing equipment because frankly we thought it was a really stupid idea," says the voiceover in the clip. "But the point here is that the Alfa 4C is a really, really fast car and the Model X is so much faster that you have to put a 4,000-pound trailer on it to make it as fast as a really fast car." Retailing for around $300,000 by the time you factor in Australia's luxury car tax, the Model X represents the pinnacle of electric vehicles available locally. With all-wheel drive thanks to an independent electric motor on each wheel, the Model X can go from 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds and its 100 kWh battery provides drivers with 565 kilometres of range.
