Tesla Model S P85

The Tesla Model S P85 reaches 60 mph in 4.32 s (100 km/h in 4.57 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.91 s, tripping the lights at 108.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.05 s and the eighth mile in 8.33 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.97 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.

About the Model S P85

The 2012 Tesla Model S P85 is a rear-drive electric car of 2,112 kg with 416 bhp, which works out at 197 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 2.05 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 108.0 mph. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,437th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 10th quickest of the 17 Teslas here. Its 108.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 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.

Questions

What is the Tesla Model S P85 0-60 time?
The Tesla Model S P85 reaches 60 mph in 4.32 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,437th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Tesla Model S P85 quarter mile time?
12.91 s at 108.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.33 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.05 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Tesla Model S P85 have?
416 bhp and 2,112 kg, which is 197 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, electric, with 1 gears and a quoted top speed of 216 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Tesla Model S P85?
Closest here on pace: BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe M235i xDrive 306 (4.39 s), Bentley Mulsanne Speed (4.34 s), Bentley Mulsanne Speed 6.75 V8 537 (4.31 s). Each one can be raced against the Tesla Model S P85 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Tesla Model S P85 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
