A new, upgraded version an electric car Tesla Motors is capable going from 0 to 100kph just 2.8 seconds. The original 691 horsepower Tesla Model S P85D was already incredibly fast. It even had a function called Insane Mode, which meant the car could get 0-100kph in 3.2 seconds. The upgrade is called Ludicrous Mode and will take the horsepower to 762, thus providing the extra power to get to 100kph less than three seconds. This is close to the acceleration a Porsche 911 Turbo S supercar. That kind of horsepower means the car can accelerate a force of 1.1G. This means the acceleration will make the driver feel that he or she is going faster than the speed of falling of an airplane.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk explained that the new improvement acceleration came research into an advanced battery. Engineers were working a new power train its cars. A power rain is the system that delivers the power the engine the wheels. The engineers managed to increase the battery power ten per cent, resulting the extra acceleration. Tesla said: "Unlike a gasoline internal combustion engine with hundreds of moving parts, Tesla electric motors have only one moving piece: the rotor. As a result, Model S acceleration is instantaneous, silent and smooth." The Tesla S P85D car is priced $87,500 as a basic model; the "ludicrous" upgrade will be an extra $13,000.
