Tesla Model X Beats Lamborghini Urus In Drag Race [WATCH]

Another one bites the dust. Another exotic European brand took on a Tesla in a sprint and wound up eating the Tesla’s dust.

The latest to fall victim to a Tesla (in this case a Model X mid-size all-electric luxury SUV) was a pricey Lamborghini Urus SUV, one of the world’s fastest production SUVs, with a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph). Urus with its 4.0-liter Twin-Turbo engine producing 641 bhp can launch from a dead stop to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, and from 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 12.8 seconds.

On the other hand, the highest performance version of the Model X, the Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive (formerly the P100D), can hurtle from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds. It can run the 1⁄4 mile (400 meters) in 11.4 seconds, outperforming the fastest SUVs and most sports cars.

This is exactly what the Model X proved in its recent head-to-head showdown against what is arguably the fastest non-Tesla SUV, the Lamborghini Urus.

Racing enthusiasts note previous races between both these SUVs have been intense. While the Model X’s 2.6 second 0 to 100 km/h time beats the Urus’ 3.4 seconds, the Lamborghini can hits top speed really quickly.

In this latest race, the Model x was equipped with Tesla’s “Raven” updates. This includes a wholly new and very efficient drivetrain design, plus new adaptive suspension. These updates allowed the Model X to reach 325 miles on a single charge.

The Raven update was simply too much for the Urus. The Model X handily beat its gas guzzling rival right from the get-go.

The Model X Performance completed the quarter mile in 11.24 seconds at 119.86 mph. The Lamborghini Urus finished the race in 12.22 seconds at 115.31 mph.
