Starting with the Tesla, it's powered by three electric motors which integrate to produce 1,020 hp and 1,420 Nm of torque. This power is sent out to all four wheels, and it weighs in at a large 2,464 kg. As new, the Tesla will set you back around ₤ 120,000.

Along with it we have the . It's powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 750hp and 800Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission, and it suggestions the scales at simply 1,389 kg! As brand-new, the 750S expenses around ₤ 250,000.

Then lastly we have the 296 GTS. It's loading a 3-litre twin-turbo V6 paired with an electric motor, and these combine to put down 830hp and 740Nm. This is delivered to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the automobiles weighs around 1,700 kg. It's the most expensive automobile in this line-up, costing around ₤ 280,000.

      @@Smzxethat’s been debunked a million times. Sorry if you have a 720 and you’re so butt hurt that you need to refer to one video that was a total anomaly but I actually owned a 720S up until last year and had the opportunity to drive a 750S at a McLaren event, so I first hand felt the increased speed and how much of a difference the shorter gearing made. It definitely wasn’t slower my friend

Litteraly changes down 2 gears in a nanosecond. Listen mate we know from people owning them mow that they get battered on the dualy and motorways and obliterated on B-roads. A fiesta ST can beat Teslas on B-roads. Even the performance packs they melt the brakes up they are too heavy Period. I had the same discussion about my missuses new Defender when she cant get her horsebox up to the usual places her last car (Dmax) could because its just too heavy peroid. Its getting hung up on wet grass nevermind mud and thats with the smaller steelies and BFG LO2s. Too heavy gets found out if not up the straights then on the other stuff. I really dont care about Chris Harris and his “but if you cant feel the weight” nonsense. For a start Chris came to our local Pro Cart track and got beat on the carts by old men at 70yr old not just some of the teenagers who race them… So Chris can shut up till he wins something or even podiums.
