The Tesla Model S 60 380 reaches 60 mph in 5.43 s (100 km/h in 5.76 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.25 s, tripping the lights at 95.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.28 s and the eighth mile in 9.13 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

The 2012 Tesla Model S 60 380 is a rear-drive electric saloon of 2,108 kg with 380 bhp, which works out at 180 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 2.28 s, and the question for an electric car is usually not the launch but whether it keeps pulling: it trips the quarter-mile lights at 95.3 mph. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,601st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 16th quickest of the 17 Teslas here. It leaves better than it pulls: 95.3 mph at the lights is only the 3,616th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.
