  • Why Tesla Model S P100D is the fastest car ever produced? Yes, it is!

    Tesla Model S P100D side view

    Ludicrous Mode helps the car make it to the sacred 2.5 seconds time

    I’m sure you won’t believe that a fully electric car could be the fastest one in the world. But it is! I mean 2.5 seconds time for the 0-60 mph sprint is something, right? Yes, the Model S P100D driven in its Ludicrous mode. You might say that there are cars like the LaFerrari and the Porsche 918 Spyder, but first – they weren’t mass produce vehicles, and secondly – their price is at least a million. To sum up, the bitter truth for many is that this Tesla is actually the first globally produced vehicle, which achieves the 2.5 seconds time.

    To make you even more furious (if you are on the other side, because I’m on Tesla’s: in fact, if I had a Tesla, I’d be probably writing this article from its cabin), there is another major difference. In contrast to the first two hypercars that are two seaters, have very little luggage space (and space in general) and cannot be bought new, the Model S P100D AWD has four doors, can accommodate up to 5 adults and 2 children and is also perfect for a lot of cargo.

    Not to mention that the Tesla car is also “the longest range production electric vehicle by far” with 315 miles on the EPA cycle and 613 km on the EU cycle. This is due to the improved with 100 kWh battery that feeds the vehicle with power. Elon Musk, has also featured the same battery in the popular Model X SUV, making it world’s quickest SUV with acceleration time of 2.9 seconds and with 289 miles EPA and 542 km EU traveled on a single charge.

    Model S and Model X also score the highest ratings at NHTSA. Both have access to the Tesla Supercharger network for the freedom to travel long distance for free. What is more, Tesla is promising to improve over time with free over the air upgrades.

    Nevertheless, there’s one drawback about these vehicles: they seem to be quite expensive. Those customers who have ordered a P90D Ludicrous, but not taken delivery, can upgrade to the 100 kWh pack for $10,000. Sadly, those with the existing P90D Ludicrous can also upgrade, but for $20,000, as their used 90 kWh pack will have to be recycled. However, every sale in Tesla helps pay for the smaller Model 3 that will be much more affordable.

    Model S P100D with Ludicrous mode specifications:

    • Range: 315 miles (EPA Estimate) / 613 km (NEDC Estimate)
    • 0-60 mph acceleration: 2.5 seconds
    • 0-100 km/h acceleration: 2.7 seconds
    • Price: starts at $134,500

    Model X P100D with Ludicrous mode specifications:

    • Range: 289 miles (EPA Estimate) / 542 km (NEDC Estimate)
    • 0-60 mph acceleration: 2.9 seconds
    • 0-100 km/h acceleration: 3.1 seconds
    • Price: starts at $135,500

  • X-Men: Apocalypse is here and so are the cars of your favorite characters! Check them out!

    Wolverine Driving 1988 Toyota Hilux The “X-Men: Apocalypse” is probably one of the most awaited superhero movies this year and we are all hoping it is not a huge disappointment like “Batman vs. Superman”. The premiere of blockbuster-to-be movie is happening now and the hype is extremely huge. This was probably the reason for the appearance of these interesting renderings, which show what car models would the superheroes of X-Men drive. We would love to know your opinion about them, so make sure you leave a comment below. Is there anything unexpected you see or would you offer a better car for any of the characters?

    Wolverine Driving the Nasty Toyota Hilux from 1988

    If you have thought that the Wolverine would go for anything smaller, you would be wrong. The 1988 Toyota Hilux seems the perfect car for him with its rugged appearance and go-anywhere capabilities. In fact, in this rendering it almost looks indestructible… just like the protagonist played by Hugh Jackman.

    SEE ALSO: Honda Jazz Type R, Ford Ka ST, Volkswagen up! GTi and the BMW M i3 are the craziest vehicles you’ll see this weekend!

    As you can see, this Hilux isn’t ordinary, but it has a few extra features to help Wolverine in his duties. These include huge and custom-made wheels and retractable blades, which give him the strength and ferocity to destroy the enemies.

    Magneto Driving a BMW M6 Coupe

    Magneto Driving a BMW M6 Coupe

    Any questions? Who would say anything else if this is the choice of the mighty Magneto. The character played by Michael Fassbender has chosen the beautiful maroon BMW M6 Coupe, which looks almost as stylish and sexy as he does. The slick high-speed car jumps to 100 km/h (62 mph) from rest in mere 3.9 seconds, so he will have no trouble escaping any hard situation.

    In this render, the body of the car is made from the same material as the helmet he wears, thus increasing his resistance to any incoming telepathy. In addition, he will sit behind a bulled prove glass (not that he needs it) and will ride his BMW on superior wheels.

    Mystique’s Blue Skinned BMW i8

    Mystique Driving BMW i8

    Jennifer Lawrence is playing Mystique, and her character has chosen the electric BMW i8. Made of carbon-fiber, she’s even faster, more agile and ready to make her enemies regret that they are alive. With blue scaly skin and flashing yellow headlights her i8 is almost as beautiful as she is.

    Charles Xavier Has Chosen the Tesla Model X

    Charles Xavier Driving Tesla Model X

    There is no other car than Tesla’s Model X that is perfect for Charles Xavier. James McAvoy’s character is science genius, who can not drive anything less than a vehicle made by a genius (like Elon Musk). He will also have no trouble accessing his spacious car, because of its double rear door entry. Sitting behind bullet proof windows he will manage the important duties and control the actions of the X-Men team.

    Apocalypse’s Mercedes-AMG 63 6×6

    Apocalypse Driving Mercedes-AMG 63 6x6

    Apocalypse is the longest survivor of all the X-Men and this is why the vehicle chosen for this character is the six-wheeled Mercedes-AMG 63 6×6. Each Armour panel of this machine is intricately designed in art from another age. With these exaggerated wheels, the X-Men are set to destroy or finally save the world!

    Cyclops Has Chosen the Shelby Mustang GT350R

    Cyclops Driving Shelby Mustang GT350R

    It is not a surprise that the Cyclops has chosen the Shelby Mustang GT350R because he has always been a fan of the Shelby American. This particular render envisions the GT350R with super speed and lightweight carbon fibre wheels, visor windscreen and automatic headlamps which double up as red optic blasts.

    Jean Grey’s Cute Volvo XC90

    Jean Grey Driving Volvo XC90

    Jean Grey is played by one of the Game of Thrones’ cast, Sophie Turner (playing Sansa Stark). We are sure that she will make a fantastic role in these series, too. Her Jean Grey character is envisioned in the renderings driving a cute Volvo XC90, which also has unexpected capabilities. Because of the traumatizing memory of her sister’s death caused by a car accident, she has chosen the safest of brands. In addition, her XC90 also sports bullet proof windows and an inbuilt cerebro in the windshield.

    So, what do you think?

  • Would the Bold Tesla Model X be the Last Premium Tesla Vehicle?

    2015 Tesla Model XAfter three years of research and hard work, Tesla released its latest vehicle –  the Model X. On Tuesday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk took the stage at the company’s California manufacturing plant and personally unveiled the latest Tesla model.One of the most noticeable changes in the latest Model X vehicle is definitely the size. The vehicle is larger than its predecessor Model S and comes with three full rows of seats and completely restyled doors, the so-called “Falcon wing doors” that open vertically. And along with the “falcon-ish” elements, Tesla also geared the vehicle with all-wheel drive and numerous handy gadgets and tweaks.

    It’s important to show that any type of car can go electric. We did it with the sports car, the sedan, and, now, we’re going to show it with an SUV.

    First of all, the front doors can open automatically, while the windshield is big. Really big. Furthermore, the Model X offers a special front console that has numerous features one of which is to charge almost any kind of mobile phone. The back seats automatically lean forward to open space to the third row and there is also space under them for additional cargo. Handy, right?

    But let’s go back to the falcon stuff. The doors I mean. What is also special, along with the horizontal movement is that they save up space while the vehicle is at some parking space. It is a matter of inches to open them. Cool, right?But along with the vehicle and its interesting additions, there is one more curious thing to say. Tesla Model X might well be one of the last premium models that the brand will produce. It is already scheduled that the next Tesla vehicle will focus the mass market with price of about $35,000.2015 Tesla Model XSo, what do you think of the vehicle? I personally believed that with the “falcon wings” this machine could fly, alas I am sort of disappointed.
