Tesla Model S Can Hit (At Least) 132 MPH On the Autobahn
cartechboy writes "There are few places in the world outside of a race track that you can safely--and legally-- go faster than 130 mph, but the Autobahn in Germany is one of them. After Tesla announced it'll offer a future special 'autobahn' tuning package to improve the Model S's high-speed driving characteristics, one owner took his car for a high-speed run on the infamous Germany highway. He hit a maximum speed of 212 km/h, or 132 mph. With 416 horsepower on tap and full torque available from a standstill thanks to the electric motor, the Model S went from 60 mph to 100 mph in less than five seconds. (Given the included video is mostly focused on the speedometer, lets hope the driver at least glanced at the road.) Only once the car passed 100 mph did its acceleration begin to slow."
Considering the Maxima was made by Nissan and not Toyota, absolutely.
Otherwise, not so much. ;-)
Lost at C:>. Found at C.
It means it's more than famous. It's so famous, it's IN-famous!
Tic-Tac-Toe, Global Thermonuclear War, and relationships all have the same winning move.
Meh. My 1964 VW Microbus can go from 0 to 60... on a good day.
It is true: the Autobahn is a single, linear tunnel straight through the core of the earth. Great way to get to Fiji.
No, there's no way a Citation could hit 132 MPH
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
