What Can I Expect
Tesla vs Viper. Electric vs Petrol. This is a modern vs classic-style muscle car shakedown out on the London Circuit in Hertfordshire. Which one is going to win your heart? Drive both out on the track and decide for yourself.
The Tesla Model P90D is the full package. This fully-electric car might look like a family saloon, but alongside the dual electric motors and all wheel traction, there's an onboard secret weapon. Say hello to ‘Ludicrous Mode' (yes, it's really called that!).
Press the button and the preheat ensures the Tesla takes off like a lithium bullet, launching you from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds. Tesla boffins reckon you can reach 1.1g of force, saying it's ‘faster than falling'. All that power is handy if you're in a drag race against, say, a Dodge Viper...
Oh and would you believe it, that's exactly the car you'll be driving next on this electric vs petrol challenge. This is a fifth (and last) generation Dodge Viper. The whopping 8.0l V10 petrol engine powers the muscle car to a top speed of 206 mph.
You will be driving both of these cars for four or eight laps each of the track. Will the traditional muscle car from Detroit, the birthplace of American motoring, pull at your heart strings, or will the Hollywood star must-have saloon from the Golden State win you over?
Buy your Tesla vs Viper experience voucher and get ready to drive two of the most powerful electric and petrol cars of the moment from the USA. It's going to be one helluva drive!
