We always assumed electric cars were tiny little things with hardly any power - until we saw this beast in action...
The Tesla Model S P85D boasts a dual electric motor capable of producing 691 horsepower and 737 lb-ft of torque. It means that it can go from 0 to 60 mph in an incredible 3.2 seconds.

He gives it a go from a standing start at 1min 47secs and absolutely sh*ts his pants.
As he puts it: "Jesus f**king Christ! It hurts your chest!...that is so brutally terrifying...I couldn't see the road - it went blurred..."
